pComplete the product Warranty / Registration card and mail it with proper postage to Aribex today.
Completing the card fulfills a condition of warranty coverage (see the inside back cover of this manual).
1.3 Charging the Handsets
NOTE:The handsets (batteries) are partially charged at the factory and normally need not be charged
up prior to initial use of the NOMAD Pro. However, if the system has been in long-term storage prior to
iniitial use, handsets will first require a proper charge. In fact, it is recommended to fully recharge
handsets every 3 months for long-term storage to ensure that no low battery becomes damaged.
nUse only the supplied AC/DC Power Supply (08500165), unwrap the power cord of the power
supply and connect it to the charging cradle then to an AC electrical outlet (110/120V or 220/240V,
dictated by the country/region). The single green indicator light on the top of the charging cradle will
illuminate when the cradle has power. Position the charging cradle away from the normal patient
environment. A plug adapter may be needed to accommodate the local AC configuration.
oInvert one of the handsets and carefully slide it onto the charging cradle (do not force the handset
onto the charging cradle or damage may result). Expect charge time to be less than 3 hours. The
handset, charging cradle, and AC power supply may become warm to the touch while charging.
pWhile the batteries are charging, the bank of LED charge indicators will illuminate green in a pulsed
pattern. Once charging is complete, the bank of indicators will illuminate solid green. Remove the
handset from the charging cradle once it is fully charged.
qIf the charge indicator lights change to red, it is an indication of problems; consult Section 6.2,
Troubleshooting or an Aribex authorized service center.

2.0 Safety Precautions
2.1 Radiation Safety
This X-ray unit may be dangerous to patient and operator unless safe exposure
factors, operating instructions and maintenance schedules are observed.
Operators must follow all applicable regulatory
guidelines and in-
house radiation protection program
in regard to patients and operators who are pregnant
or expect to become pregnant.
Operators must be fully acqua
inted with industry
safety recommendations and established maximum
permissible doses.
Optimal operator radiation backscatter protection
exists when:
a)
the backscatter shield is positioned at the outer
end of the collimator cone,
b) the backscatter shield is close to the patient,
c)
the patient is situated to accommodate exposures
that allow the NOMAD Pro to be positioned
perpendicular to the operator, and
d)
the operator remains within the significant zone of
occupancy immediately behind the device shield.
Do not enable NOMAD Pro until patient and operator
are positioned and ready for the exposure, preventing
interruption and inadvertent exposure of anyone to X-
rays.
Do not attempt an exposure if anyone other than
patient is in the direct beam. If
others are assisting,
then they should wear protective covering.
An exposure can be terminated for any reason by
abruptly releasing the depressed trigger (for more
information, see Section 4.0, Operation).

NOMAD Pro
4
As shown in graphic representations,
maximum
protection (green area) from
backscatter radiation (red area) exists
when the NOMAD Pro is positioned
near the patient, is perpendicular to the
operator (with the patient’s head tilted if
needed), and the backscatter shield is
fully extended toward the pat
ient and
parallel to the operator.
Operation outside the protection zone
(or with a diminished protective zone)
requires proper precautions such as the
use of lead aprons.
Proper postioning
Do not operate if the backscatter
shield or collimator cone are broken!

Do not operate NOMAD Pro, the handset, charging cradle, or AC power supply if
equipment was subjected to moisture (wetting, immersing, or soaking) –
return to Aribex
for service.
•Do not open the housings. Doing so will void the warranty. There are no user
serviceable parts inside the NOMAD Pro, handset, charging cradle or AC power
supply.
•NOMAD Pro should not be used in environments where flammable cleaning agents
are present.
•Locate the charging cradle away from the normal patient environment.
2.3 Cleaning
nRoutinely use a non-acetone based disinfectant wipe (according to chemical manufacturer’s
recommendations) to disinfect the exterior surfaces of the NOMAD Pro and the handset in between use
on each patient.
oLeave the handset connected to the NOMAD Pro and wipe down all surfaces of the device.
pUnplug the charging cradle before cleaning.
NOTE:NOMAD Pro, the handsets, the charging cradle, and the AC power supply are not designed to
be subjected to any kind of sterilization procedure.
Do not spray disinfectant or cleaners directly on the NOMAD Pro, handsets, charging
cradle or AC power supply. The connecting areas are open to ingress and damage to
your device may result.
2.4 Security, Storage, and Transportation
¾Do not store the NOMAD Pro, handsets, charging cradle, or AC power supply in extreme
conditions: below –20°C (–4°F) or above +60°C (+140°F), or beyond 95% relative humidity (non-
condensing). The optimal storage location is cool, dry, and away from direct sunlight.
¾Aribex recommends that the NOMAD Pro (like all electronic equipment) be allowed to acclimate
before use when switching between temperature extremes (i.e, cold storage to a warm area use or
hot area storage to a cool area use).
¾When finished for the day with NOMAD Pro, detach the handset.

OPERATOR MANUAL..

¾The X-RAY LOCK and UNLOCK (Section 4.3) serves as the device security key to prevent
unauthorized use. In addition, it is recommended that the device be locked away when not in use.
For a further level of security, securely store handsets in a separate location.
¾Take steps to ensure the NOMAD Pro will not be knocked to the ground when not in use. Lay it on
its top, side or in the accessory cradle. Power will automatically shut off after a period of inactivity
(approximately 3 minutes).
¾Do not store or carry handsets so that metal objects can contact exposed battery contact springs.
¾Some battery charge may be lost during extended inactivity (leading to fewer exposures between
handset charging).
•NOMAD Pro should not be operated if it has been dropped or performance degrades;
it should be returned to Aribex for a safety check.
•When finished for the day with NOMAD Pro, detach the handset.
•For long-term storage, it is recommended to fully recharge handsets every 3 months.
3.0 Setup and Power Check
3.1 The Backscatter Shield
In addition to the radiation shielded cone, the backscatter
shield provides additional protection to the operator, and
features an adjustable position to permit exposures made at
various angles.
nIdeally, the shield should remain fully extended to the outer edge of the cone, as close to the
patient as possible during each image taken (see 2.1, Radiation Safety).
oYou may find that the backscatter shield needs to be adjusted to accommodate position indicating
devices or angled exposures. If adjustments are needed, gently glide the shield up or down along the
cone using equal pressure to maintain a perpendicular alignment and avoid binding.
pTo keep the shield securely on the cone a cap is permanently attached at the outer cone end. Do
not attempt to remove this cap or to remove the backscatter shield. Attempting to do so will result in
damage to your device.

NOMAD Pro

3.2 Attaching a Charged Handset
nWith the NOMAD Pro placed bottom up
on a secure surface, properly orient and
carefully slide the charged handsets onto
the base of the NOMAD Pro, (a properly
oriented handset should click into place with
firm pressure).
oThe clicking sound ensures the locking
mechanism has secured the NOMAD Pro to
the handset. To verify this lock apply slight
pressure in the release direction.
There are electric currents present at the handset terminals. Protect the handset from
damage; do not probe with fingers or conductive objects.
3.3 Checking for Power
NOMAD Pro Veterinary Control Panel
n
After locking a handset in place press the Power ( ) button.
o
The operation control display panel will activate with a
"battery power level" icon in the upper right corner. Five bars is
an indication of a fully charged handset.
pIf the battery charge is too low, the NOMAD Pro will not
emit an X-ray and the
RECHARGE BATTERY
alarm will display.
(The RECHARGE BATTERY alarm may also display if the handset
is not fully engaged.)
qWhen a battery is depleted to the single bar level ( ),
Aribex recommends the handset be recharged.
rReplace a low charge handset with the secondary handset (which should be charged in advance).

4.8 Exposure Techniques
As an intraoral dental X-ray system, the NOMAD Pro can be easily
positioned. This high degree of flexibility easily makes possible
exposures while the patient is reclined, lying completely on their
back, or sitting upright.
nWhen taking images, operators may hold the NOMAD Pro by
having both hands on the handset grip, or for increased stability and
patient safety by placing one on the grip and the other on the
underside of the housing (but not on the collimator cone).
oPosition the NOMAD Pro relative to the imaging system to
minimize cone-cutting.
pWhen the device must be angled and the operator cannot be
completely within the protection zone, ensure operator protection
through the use of proper safety measures, such as the use of a
lead apron. (See Section 2.1, Radiation Safety.)
qAvoid touching the patient with the cone or backscatter shield;
disposable plastic coverings can be used to prevent cross-
contamination.
rDetermine what NOMAD Pro exposure time settings deliver
optimal results for the type of imaging (digital or film-based) that is
used on a regular basis.
NOTE:Both digital imaging sensors and film speeds can vary
somewhat in their characteristics and could require different
exposure settings to meet density preference. (See Section 4.9,
Settings Menu for more information.)
