6 Using the unit
5. Check the position of the midsagittal light. If it is not on the midsagittal plane of the
patient, adjust the patient’s head.
6. Move the head support against the patient’s forehead. Adjust the height. Close the
temple supports.
7. Adjust the position of the image layer as necessary. The image layer is 18 mm
posterior compared to standard panoramic procedure.

6.3.6 Taking a panoramic exposure
1. Press Start position. Check the patient positioning.
Protect yourself from radiation by standing behind a suitable x-ray radiation shield.
Make sure that you can see and hear the patient during the exposure.
NOTICE! In all examinations, the user of the x-ray equipment should
wear protective clothing and ensure the fulfilment of the local regulations’
requirements. The operator does not need to be close to the patient during
normal use. The protection against stray radiation can be achieved by using
the hand switch not less than 2 m (6 ft) from the focal spot and the X-ray
beam. Operator should maintain visible contact with the patient and technical
factors. This allows immediate termination of radiation by the release of the
exposure button in the event of a malfunction or disturbance.
NOTICE! If the patient is nervous, or a child, you can demonstrate how
the unit works to reassure them. Press the T (Test mode) button and then
press and hold the exposure button. The unit will complete an exposure cycle
without generating x-rays.
