The unit is preprogrammed with exposure parameters -
time, kV and mA values - which can be selected by

which are in use when an exposure region is not
selected.
The selections that can be made are:
molars, premolars &
canines, incisors, occlusal exposure, endodontic and bite-
wing

come on.
Pressing the key a third time will recall the default
exposure values.
