Operation of AeroDR Detector
3.2.1 Exposure
To expose X-ray images, check that this device is
ready to expose images, and then perform the expo-
sure operation using the X-ray exposure device.
When the exposure is completed, image is stored in the
AeroDR detector and will then be converted to digital data
and sent to the CS-7 sequentially. When the data transfer is
completed, the exposed image is displayed on the CS-7.
HINT
When the AeroDR detector is used with a wireless
connection, it will enter sleep mode if not used for a
long time (you can adjust the time it takes).
To recover from the sleep mode, click on the "Sleep re-
covery button" on the CS-7 or keep pressed the selection
switch on the AeroDR detector for two seconds or more.
The AeroDR detector will not go into sleep mode if it is
used in a wired connection.
3.2.2 AeroDR Detector Orientation
With the AeroDR detector, expose the body part with the
white line located at the bottom (portrait) or with the white
line located to the right of the upper edge that should be
positioned at the top of the image fi eld (landscape).

3.2.3 Precautions for Exposure
High-dose exposure
When high-dose exposures are performed con-
tinuously, afterimages of the last exposure will
occasionally be visible. Since the infl uence of af-
terimages in this device will be solved by leaving
longer intervals between exposures, make the
intervals between exposures longer than usual
when performing high-dose exposure.
In high-dose exposure, if you continue to use a
marker made of lead in the same position, the
afterimage may be burned in. Therefore, avoid
using it in the same position. Also, if image burn-
in is visible, run gain calibration.
Exposure time
The maximum exposure time for this device is
set to 1 second. Even if the exposure time is set
to longer than 1 second, reading starts 1 second
after X-ray exposure. Therefore, be careful not
to set exposure time to longer than 1 second.
