¾ The X-RAY LOCK and UNLOCK (Section 4.3) serves as the device security key to prevent
unauthorized use. In addition, it is recommended that the device be locked away when not in use.
For a further level of security, securely store handsets in a separate location.
¾ Take steps to ensure the NOMAD Pro will not be knocked to the ground when not in use. Lay it on
its top, side or in the accessory cradle. Power will automatically shut off after a period of inactivity
(approximately 3 minutes).
¾ Do not store or carry handsets so that metal objects can contact exposed battery contact springs.
¾ Some battery charge may be lost during extended inactivity (leading to fewer exposures between
handset charging).
it should be returned to Aribex for a safety check.
• When finished for the day with NOMAD Pro, detach the handset.
3.0 Setup and Power Check
3.1 The Backscatter Shield
In addition to the radiation shielded cone, the backscatter
shield provides additional protection to the operator, and
features an adjustable position to permit exposures made at
various angles.
n Ideally, the shield should remain fully extended to the outer edge of the cone, as close to the
patient as possible during each image taken (see 2.1, Radiation Safety).
o You may find that the backscatter shield needs to be adjusted to accommodate position indicating
devices or angled exposures. If adjustments are needed, gently glide the shield up or down along the
cone using equal pressure to maintain a perpendicular alignment and avoid binding.
p To keep the shield securely on the cone a cap is permanently attached at the outer cone end. Do
not attempt to remove this cap or to remove the backscatter shield. Attempting to do so will result in
damage to your device.
