5.1. Setting the safety unlock mode
The x-ray unit has a safety unlock for the ball joint.
The default setting allows the ball joint to be disengaged by simply touching one of the keys present on the front of the head. To prevent accidental
contact with the keys from unexpectedly disengaging the ball joint (and therefore causing undesired movement of the head), the safety unlock mode
can be activated. In this mode, the ball joint is disengaged only if both keys are activated at the same time.
To set the safety unlock mode, press keys
. Scroll the options to select "ON" and press key .

• En60: all the x-rays are taken at 60KV and 7mA.
• En63: all the x-rays are taken at 63KV and 6mA.
• En65: all the x-rays are taken at 65KV and 6mA.
