Cephalo Exposures
(6) Patient Egress and Image Transmission
1. Use both hands to carefully open the ear rod plates and get
the ear rods out of the patient’s ears.
Open the ear rod plates very carefully and make sure the
ear rods are well clear of the patient’s ears; otherwise the
patient could be injured.
2. Pull the nasion plate out and then raise it up, the guide the
patient away from the unit.
3. During image transmission the LED on the cassette will
light up amber. After transmission is completed, it will
change to green and start blinking.
(“Transferring image!” will appear in the computer display,
and after about 30 seconds the image will appear.)
• During image transmission the LED on the cassette
will light up amber. After transmission is completed, it
will change to green and start blinking.
Do not do any of the following things until this LED has
changed to green and starts blinking:
1. Do not turn off the main switch
2. Do not take the cassette out of its holder
Any of the above actions will cause the image to be
lost and the computer to freeze.
Usage Note
♦ After image transmission, a two-toned beep will sound and
the LED will change to green and start blinking. However,
another exposure cannot be made until the image appears
in the computer’s display.
♦ During image transmission, pressing the emission button
will result in a series of beeps, but X-rays cannot be
emitted.
