1.3.4 Precautions Relating to Handling Cassettes/Plates

WARNING

Do not scratch the plate.

•

The photostimulable luminescent material used on the plate can cause problems if it enters the human body. If the protective layer on the plate surface has been severely damaged and the photostimulable luminescent material is exposed, take the following actions.

- If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.

- If the eyes are exposed to it, flush them with clean

water and consult a physician immediately.

- If the skin is exposed to it, rinse with clean water

immediately.

- Even if the photostimulable luminescent material does

not enter the human body, take preventive measures against contact and dispose of the plate immediately in accordance with the applicable standards.

1-4 REGIUS /II Service Manual

1.3.5 Servicing Precautions

WARNING

Do not insert a piece of wire or metal.

•

Do not insert foreign objects such as metal strip or wire through vent or gap in the main device. Doing so may result in electric shock.

• Be sure to turn OFF when servicing.

Pulling the circuit board out of this machine or removing connectors and cables while the power is turned on may result in a serious accident. Make sure to turn off the power supply circuit breaker before starting these operations.

CAUTION

When handling internal electronic components of the

•

device, wear a wristband.

When handling internal electronic components, wear an antistatic wristband.

If you touch an electronic component such as circuit board with an electrostaticallycharged hand, it can cause damage.

• Before cleaning, make sure to unplug the power supply,

or switch OFF the power supply circuit breaker.
