16.3 Programming the preprogrammed settings
NOTE Two sets of exposure values (time/kV/mA) can be
programmed for each exposure region: one for adult
mode and one for child mode. The indicator light of
the selected projection will come on.
NOTE The exposure parameters - time, kV and mA - are
programmed corresponding to the density value 0.
The time value will be automatically changed
according to the selected density value in the film-
based imaging mode, in the digital imaging mode and
in the phosphoric mode when you exit the
programming mode.
Select the exposure region with the preprogrammed
setting keys. Press the desired key once to select the
projection of the maxilla, and press the key twice to select
the projection of the mandible. The indicator light of the
selected projection will come on.
The current time, kV and mA values appear on the
respective displays.
Press and hold down the SELECT key (about 4 seconds)
until you have heard a signal tone to enter the
programming mode. The time display and the ready light
will start to flash.
The imaging mode can be changed by pressing the MODE
key briefly.
The exposure time value is changed with the parameter
adjustment keys.
Press the SELECT key briefly, the kV display will start to
flash and the exposure time value is stored in the memory.
The kV value can now be changed with the parameter
adjustment keys.
