protective earth.
Not doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
Securely plug the power cord into the AC outlet.
If contact failure occurs, or if metal objects come into
contact with the exposed metal prongs of the plug, fire or
electric shock may result.
Be sure to turn OFF the power to each piece of
equipment before connecting or disconnecting the
cords.
Otherwise, you may get an electric shock that could result
in death or serious injury.
Be sure to hold the plug or connector to disconnect
the cord.
If you pull the cord, the core wire may be damaged,
resulting in fire or electric shock.

1. Safety Information
WARNING
Handling
Never disassemble or modify the equipment. No
modification of this equipment is allowed. Parts of the
Mars1717XU that are not serviced or maintained while
in use with the patient.
Doing so may result in fire or electric shock. Also, since the
equipment incorporates parts that may cause electric
shock as well as other hazardous parts, touching them
may cause death or serious injury.
Do not place anything on top of the equipment.
The object may fall and cause an injury. Also, if metal
objects such as needles or clips fall into the equipment, or
if liquid is spilled, it may result in fire or electric shock.
Do not hit or drop the equipment.
The equipment may be damaged if it receives a strong jolt,
which may result in fire or electric shock if the equipment is
used without being repaired.
Do not put the equipment and pointed objects
together.
The equipment may be damaged. If so, the equipment
should be used in bucky.
Have the patient take a fixed posture and do not let the
patient touch parts unnecessarily.
If the patient touches connectors or switches, it may result
in electric shock or malfunction of the equipment.
When a problem
occurs
Should any of the following occurs, immediately
unplug the power cord of Control Box, and contact
your sales representative or local iRay dealer:
When there is smoke, an odd smell or abnormal sound.
When liquid has been spilled into the equipment or a metal
object has entered through an opening.
When the equipment has been dropped and damaged.
Maintenance and
inspection
Please turn OFF the power of the equipment and
unplug the power cord of adaptor before cleaning.
NEVER use alcohol, ether and other flammable
cleaning agent for safety. NEVER use methanol,
benzene, acid and base because they will erode the

Please make sure that the equipment's surface & plugs
are dry before turning ON.
Otherwise, it may result in fire or electric shock.
Clean the plug of the power cord periodically by
unplugging it from the AC outlet and removing dust or
dirt from the plug, its periphery and AC outlet with a
dry cloth.
If the cord is kept plugged in for a long time in a dusty,
humid or sooty place, dust around the plug will attract
moisture; this could cause insulation failure that may result
in a fire.
For safety reasons, be sure to turn OFF the power to
each piece of equipment when performing inspections
indicated in this manual.
Otherwise, electric shocks may occur.

1. Safety Information
Sudden heating of the room in cold areas will cause condensation to form
on the equipment. In this case, wait until the condensation evaporates
before performing an exposure. If the equipment is used while
condensation is formed on it, problems may occur in the quality of
captured images. When an air-conditioner is used, be sure to raise/lower
the temperature gradually so that a difference of temperature in the room
and equipment does not occur, to prevent condensation.
The detector should warm up for 30 minutes before exposure or updating
the gain map or defect map.
During exposure
Do not move the power or Ethernet Cables during exposure, or it may
cause image noise or artifacts, even incorrect images.
Do not use the devices near the equipment generating a strong magnetic
field. Otherwise, it may cause image noise, artifacts or even incorrect
images.
After exposure
Recommend to shut down the detector’s power for storage when no use.
Disinfection and Cleaning
After every examination, wipe the patient contact surfaces of the detector
using disinfectants such as ethanol, to prevent the risk of infection. For
details on how to sterilize, consult a specialist.
Do not spray the detector directly with disinfectants or detergents.
Wipe it with a cloth slightly damped with a neutral detergent. Do not use
solvents such as alcohol, thinner, benzene, acid and base. Doing so may
damage the surface of the equipment.
It's recommended to use a waterproof non-woven cover as the isolated
