Manually position the C-arm to a convenient position for viewing the sensor head. Place the
beam alignment tool to the sensor head alignment tool upside down.
Darken the room sufficiently so that you will be able to see the image of the radiation beam on
the alignment tool (it is fluorescent and glows when the radiation beam strikes it), but not so
dark that you cannot see the borders of the alignment rectangle.
