8. Cable Replacement
IMPORTANT!
Always disconnect the Sensor from the FONA CDRelite USB interface
during cable replacement to avoid potential damage to Sensor components. Close CDR
DICOM (or other imaging software) prior to starting cable replacement. When performing
cable replacement, always work outside the patient area, using the tools and materials
supplied and / or recommended by Sirona Dental.
IMPORTANT!
Like other electronic devices, your FONA CDRelite Sensor is susceptible to
electrostatic discharge (ESD), particularly when the device is used in or around carpeted
areas or low-humidity environments. During cable replacement, when Sensor contacts are
exposed, it is especially important to protect the device from potential ESD damage.
Touching a metal surface prior to replacing the FONA CDRelite cable will reduce the risk of
damaging Sensor components by accidental static discharge. The use of anti-static floor
mats or floor treatments (for example Staticide 2005/2002) will also help eliminate static
build-up in your office.
