Lock Positioner in Place
The positioner locks into place in front of the wall stand receptor. Locking the positioner ensures that it is
at the appropriate distance from the receptor, that it will not move during acquisition, and that the
patient does not fall.
CAUTION: Lock both sides of the positioner before allowing the patient to stand on the riser. The
positioner could move and cause the patient to fall.
CAUTION: The receiving holes in the floor may collect debris or catch the heel of a shoe. Use the
provided plugs (Figure A-4) to fill the receiving holes when the positioner is not in use.
