Note:
The table is equipped with a collision detection system. If contact is made between the tabletop
and a foreign object, such as a stool, while lowering the tabletop, the requested motion automat-
ically stops until the collision condition is removed. This is accomplished by either clearing the for-
eign object from the tabletop movement path or by requesting the reverse movement of the
tabletop.
WARNING
When the Manual Detector Position Button is pressed, the automatic receptor
tracking mechanism is disabled. To re-enable automatic receptor tracking, move
the OTS.
WARNING
Before your patient gets on or off the digital table, always press the Table Lock
Control button to block the foot pedal functions momentarily. This avoids injuries
to the patient or damage to the equipment if a foot pedal is accidentally stepped
on.
WARNING
To avoid injury to fingers and hand of patient and operator caused by table move-
ment, hands must be kept away from table top edges at all times.
Raise and Lower the Standard Table
The height of the standard table can be adjusted to make it easier for your patient to get on and off the
table and for you to position the patient for the examination.
WARNING
Before your patient gets on or off the standard table, always press the Table Lock
Control button to block the control foot pedal functions momentarily. This avoids
injuries to the patient or damage to the equipment if a foot pedal is accidentally
stepped on.
Use this procedure to raise and lower the standard table.
1. Release the table lock, if necessary.
2. To raise the table, press the Up pedal two consecutive times (“double-tap”). This activates the foot
pedal.
