Starting the System
WARNING:
Before making X-ray exposures, make sure that the system is
functioning correctly and that all components and accessories
are securely mounted.
Allow the DR detector to warm up before the system is used for clinical

Check that neither the emergency shutdown power switch for the system
nor any of the emergency stop buttons is activated.
2. Press the Power ON button on the X-ray generator mini console to switch
on the system.
