3 Preparations for operation
3.1 PRECAUTIONARY ACTIONS FOR SAFE USE
Make sure that the siting of the unit allows unobstructed rotation of the C-
Arm and that it will not strike any object throughout its full movement
range. Please also take care to ensure that the user does not place her/his
self in-between the C-Arm and any nearby object when attempting to
rotate the C-Arm, as injury could result.
Make also sure that the foot pedals are located so that the patient will not
accidentally operate them during positioning and imaging procedures.
3.2 SWITCHING ON THE UNIT
Make sure that the mains switch is on. Then switch ON the mains power
with the user power ON/OFF switch. The following will appear on the on
control panel display screen (with factory defaults dependent upon the
final installation configuration):

required.
