The main functions of the keys on the handheld vary according to how they are pressed:
KEY
NOTE: "Dead man" function: the system that starts x-ray exposure with the dedicated key on the wireless handheld allows x-rays
to be emitted only when the user presses and holds down the exposure key. X-ray emission will stop if the key is released ahead
of time.
NOTE: The function related to pressing the key briefly is performed by pressing the key which will activate the function assigned to
it. On the other hand, to perform the function carried out when the key is held down longer, press the key until the relative function
is started. The buzzer will ring shortly to signal the function has started.
NOTE: Warm-up: When the equipment has not been used for a prolonged period (more than 3 months) or when turned on for the
first time, a number of emissions with short times (0.01-0.02 sec.) are recommended and then some pictures with 0.1 sec. intervals
to better stabilize operation of the x-ray tube before using it.
