Selecting the exposure parameters
The preprogrammed exposure values are shown on
section 9 “EXPOSURE VALUES” on page17.
Check that you are in the desired mode: in the normal,
film-based imaging mode or in the digital imaging mo-
de.
The imaging mode can be changed by pressing the C-
key for two seconds.
Select the adult or child mode. Note, that the indicator
light is on when the child mode is selected.
Select the exposure region with the preprogrammed
setting keys. Press the desired key once to select the
projection of the maxilla, and press the key twice to se-
lect the projection of the mandible. The indicator light
of the selected projection will come on.
The preprogrammed time and kV values appear on the
respective displays.
NOTE The bite-wing exposures are taken with the default
exposure values. Pressing the preprogrammed set-
tings key a third time will recall these values.
The preprogrammed time and kV values can be tempo-
rarily changed with the parameter adjustment keys.
This will not affect the preprogrammed values.
Select the parameter to be adjusted with the select key.
When the parameter value is flashing on the kV dis-
play, the anode voltage can be changed with the para-
meter adjusting keys.
When the parameter value on the kV display is not
flashing, the exposure time value can be changed with
the parameter adjusting keys.
NOTE After adjusting the kV value the unit will return auto-
matically to the time adjustment mode after 5 seconds
time.
