4-4 System status display
The System Status Display is located on the control console under power
On/Off buttons. Refer to Illustration 4-1. Within this display, there are five
status indicators:

over heated. The system will not allow the user to take any exposures
until the tube is properly cooled down.

indicating there is an error. This may indicate:
• Examination room door is open (indicator will flash)
