PANORAMIC EXPOSURE
User's manual
Touch the Ready field to drive the unit to the ready
position. The indicator light will come on.
Ask the patient to close their lips on the bite block,
swallow, place their tongue flat against the roof of the
mouth, breathe normally, and stand as still as
possible.
Move at least two meters (seven feet) from the X-ray.
Protect yourself from unnecessary radiation.
Press and hold down the exposure button on the
remote control for the duration of the exposure (18
seconds). The rotating assembly will move through
one exposure cycle. During the exposure cycle the
radiation warning light will come on and you will hear
the radiation warning tone. When the rotating
assembly has completed the exposure cycle the
temple supports will automatically open and the patient
can then be guided from the unit.
NOTE If automatic cassette carriage return is
activated, see section “7.4.2 Behavioural
preferences” on page 24, the rotating unit will
return to the ready position before the temple
supports open.
Touch the Entry field to drive the rotating assembly to
the entry position and the cassette carriage to the
loading position. This is not necessary if the cassette
carriage is set to return to the loading position
automatically.
Remove the cassette from the cassette carriage and
process the film.
