Click the kV or mAs displays, the fields for changing the kV and mAs appear.
•
Scroll through the kV fields from 40 kV to 150 kV by clicking the ± kV button.
•
Select 40 kV and scroll through the mAs values from 0.5 mAs (POLYDOROS SX)
1.25 mAs (POLYDOROS LX) to 800 mAs by clicking the ± mAs button.
•
Select 150 kV. The mAs value can be changed from 1.25 mAs to 630 mAs.
Checking the Anode Starter
(only if the cassette option is present)
•
Install the cassette holder and insert a cassette (35 x 43).
•
