7.8 BASIC OPERATION
Turn on the C-Arm, as described in section 7.6 “Switching on the system”
• Fluoroscopy is activated (or, radiation is released) by pressing either the hand switch or the
foot switch.
• When you stop pressing the hand or foot switch, the generator stops releasing radiation and
the last image is displayed (held) by the left monitor. This image will continue to be
displayed until a new fluoroscopic image is obtained.
• Contrast and brightness levels are set at the factory and are, generally, best left alone.
However, to change contrast or brightness levels, simply push the brightness button on the
front of the LCD display monitors and adjust the settings to obtain the desired effect.
Factory Setting: Brightness = 26, Contrast = 69, Backlight Brightness = 69
7.8.1 STEPS AND SETTINGS

• Create a new patient folder in the Patient File mode, or activate the desired patient folder in
the Patient File operating mode.
