The ORTHOPHOS 3 acquisition unit is a Class B device
(classified according to CISPR 11, EN 60601-1-2: 2001
based on IEC 60601-1-2).
This system may be operated in a residential area.Port-
able and mobile HF communication devices can influ-
ence medical electrical equipment. The use of mobile

must be prohibited.
Following extreme temperature fluctuations, condensa-
tion may occur; therefore please do not switch on the
system until it has reached normal room temperature
(see chapter "Technical Description").
No patient may be positioned in the unit during
power-on.
In case of an error that requires switching off and subse-
quent switching on of the unit, the patient must be
removed from the unit before switching it on again at the
latest!
If parts of the unit contact the patient during the rotational
movement , let go of the exposure release button
(X-Ray) immediately and stop the unit by actuating the
unit main switch or an Emergency Stop switch!
To prevent the malfunctioning of electronic devices and
data storage devices, e.g. radio-controlled watches, tel-
ephone cards, etc., these objects must be removed prior
to X-raying.
The valid radiation protection regulations must be
observed.
The operator should move as far away from the X-ray
