Battery Charger2, and a wired cable.
— DR Detector battery level has dropped to less than 10 %
level.
• Selection SW cannot be operated while Aero Storage mode
is active.
• When 100 Aero Storage images are saved, the Aero Stor-

— DR Detector detects an error.
Exposure
IMPORTANT
• If you do not plan to expose immediately, exit Aero Storage
mode.
• In Aero Storage, the maximum exposure time is set to 1.8
seconds and the resolution is set to the default (200μm).
Please contact Konica Minolta technical representatives for
more information about how to change the settings.
• The DR Detector is precision equipment, and therefore im-
pact or vibration during radiography or image transfer may
a󰀨ect the image quality. Be careful when handling the DR
Detector during and just after radiography.
• The number of saved images displayed in the information
LED is counted when the orange status LED blinks fast af-
ter the X-ray exposure.
• The number of saved images displayed after an exposure
is the patient’s image number.
• Images exposed using Aero Storage do not have patient in-
formation. It is recommended, therefore, to keep record so
that you can associate the patient exposed with the number
of saved images displayed on DR Detector.
• When the number of saved images in Aero Storage reach-
es 100, it turns to the sleep state, and exposure using Aero
Storage cannot be performed.
• While importing the images, do not disconnect DR Detector
from AeroDR Battery Charger, AeroDR Battery Charger2,
or the wired cable.
• When the image import process finishes, the number of
saved image in DR Detector becomes zero.
