exposure mode number 6 with the program selection keys (fourth collimator slot). The text
CPH6 will appear on the main display.
Stand behind the tubehead and protect yourself from radiation. Press and hold down the
exposure button. The image of the radiation beam from slot number 6 will appear on the
alignment tool.
NOTE The soft tissue filter will filter a narrow area of the left side of the radiation beam.
The radiation beam must appear within the borders of the rectangle marked on the alignment
tool. If it does not refer to
