4. Turn the key switch located on the C-Arm interface panel to enable X-Rays and motorized mechanical
movement.
When the key switch is placed in the on position , the C-Arm is fully operational. When the key switch
is placed in X-Ray off position , X-Ray is disabled and the lift column is enabled. When the key switch is
placed in the standby position , X-Rays and vertical column movement are disabled, but the C-Arm
power remains.
It is recommended to turn the key switch to standby position and safe keep it at all times,
except when a procedure is in progress, to prevent the possibility of radiation being emitted
through the inadvertent actuation of an X-Ray switch.
5. Make sure that the breaker is in ON state before pressing the power on/off button. The power on
indicator will light.
Do not position the system to make it difficult to operate the breaker.
6. Press the Workstation power on/off button. Both the Workstation and the C-Arm will initial power up
sequence. The field size is in its maximum. The auto fluoroscopy mode is selected.
7. System startup is complete when the login screen or Exam Management screen is displayed on the
right monitor. The boot up time is about 2 minutes.
The system won't response power off command by pressing power on/off button until start
up sequence complete
If a problem is encountered during power on, error message may be displayed on the right
monitor and restart will be required. Refer to Chapter 10 "Display Messages" for more
information about messages. If restart system and failure remains, call GE Healthcare
Communication Center for service.
Data loss can occur if the system startup sequence is interrupted. Do not turn off the
breaker or unplug the power cable until system startup is complete.
If you are performing a procedure which draping is necessary, drape the C-Arm using the
SteriQuick draping system.
Draping the X-Ray tube housing will inhibit air flow resulting in cooling inefficiencies. This
may result in the housing reaching its rated heat capacity sooner. When the housing
reaches its maximum rated heat capacity, X-Rays will be discontinued until the housing has
cooled.
