should not be bent.
• Do not scratch the image plates. Do not subject the image plates to
pressure from hard or pointed objects.
• Do not soil the image plates.
• Protect the image plates against sunlight and ultraviolet light.
• Store image plates in a light protection cover or cartridge of the correct
size.
• Image plates will be pre-exposed on exposure to natural radiation and
stray X-ray radiation. Protect erased and exposed image plates from X-
ray interference.
• If the image plate has been stored for longer than one week, erase the
image plate prior to use.
• Do not store image plates under hot or moist conditions. Observe the
correct ambient conditions (see section "Technical data" on page 10).
