Laser Beam Positioning
Be careful not to shine the laser beam directly into the person's eyes.
Doing so may result in vision loss.
If the laser beam is not correctly positioned, distortion, where the image may be
enlarged or reduced, or ghost shadows may occur and lower the image quality.
Be sure to align the laser beam properly.
1. Align the vertical beam with the center of the face. (To prevent horizontal expansion
of the image)
2. Tilt the patient's head back 10˚ - 15˚ then align the horizontal beam with tip of the
nose. Use the Horizontal Beam button on the control panel to position it.
3. Align the Canine Teeth Beam with the center of the patient's canines. Use the
Canine Teeth Beam level to adjust the position of the beam.
Finishing Patient Positioning
1. After checking the positions of the patient and the laser beam, click the Temple
Support Open/Close button on the control panel to prevent the patient's head
from moving.
2. Click the READY button. The x-ray exposure has not started yet.
3. Now go to 6.3 X-ray Exposure to begin operation.
