NOTE: The function related to pressing the key briefly is performed by pressing the key which will activate
the function assigned to it. On the other hand, to perform the function carried out when the key is held down
longer, press the key until the relative function is started. The buzzer will beep shortly to signal that the
function has been activated.
NOTE: Warm-up: When the equipment has not been used for a prolonged period (more than 3 months) or
when turned on for the first time, it is advisable to perform a series of emissions with short times (0.01-0.02
sec.) and then, progressively, some pictures with 0.1 sec. intervals to better stabilise the operation of the x-
ray tube before using it.

correctly set:
