unit movements. Patient must be kept away from mobile components of the unit.

Position Description
OFF The OFF position is when no pressure is applied to the Prep/Expose
button on top of the hand switch.
PREP PREP is the next position on the hand switch. When it is partially
pressed, it brings the rotor up to speed and heats the filament. The
button returns to the OFF position if released.
EXPOSE The EXPOSE position is when the button on the hand switch is fully
depressed. This produces X-rays that are recorded. Release the Prep/
Expose button after the exposure is completed.
