After adjusting the column to suit the height of the patient, fit
the ear rods along the patient's ear canals.

rods.

4. Adjust the height of the unit to suit the
patient by pressing the column up/down
button or switch (optional).
5. Ask the patient to stand upright facing
the X-Ray tube.
Make sure that the patient's shoulders are
level and that his/her neck is relaxed.

ear canals. Make sure that the ear rods
are comfortably, yet firmly in place.
7. Gently tilt the patient's head back until
his/her Frankfurt plane is perpendicular to
