allow such liquids to enter through exterior gaps
and cause a failure. Make sure to cover the
AeroDR Detector with a vinyl sheet, etc.
– Be careful of the ingress of patient body fluids,
chemicals, water, etc., because the AeroDR
1417HQ, AeroDR 1417S, AeroDR 1717HQ, and
AeroDR 1012HQ are not designed to be water-
proof.
– The AeroDR 2 1417HQ and AeroDR 2 1417S are
designed to have waterproof capabilities, but be
careful when handling them because they are not
guaranteed to be completely waterproof. Also,
be careful because subjecting them to strong
impacts or excessive loads by dropping or hitting
them against other objects may diminish their wa-
terproof capabilities.
– Never leave AeroDR Detectors in hot and humid
environments for long periods of time.
– The AeroDR Detector has wireless antennae po-
sitioned at 2 places. Do not block them with the
body or metal because that will interfere with, dis-
connect or slow down wireless communication.
– Pressing the power switch causes each LED
(green, orange, blue) to light temporarily or
ash.Afterthis,onlygreenbeginstoashina
slowcycle.Pleasecheckthelightingorashing
of each color once.
– The battery capacity is designed to allow the life
period calculated based on the standard usage
of the AeroDR Detector. It can be replaced with
a new battery for a fee if replacement is neces-
sary after the warranty period due to battery
breakdown or decrease in capacity.
CAUTION
– Check that the buzzer sounds when mounted on
the AeroDR Battery Charger or AeroDR Battery
Charger2.
– Check that the LED indicates recharging status
when the AeroDR 1417HQ, AeroDR 1417S,
AeroDR 1717HQ, or AeroDR 2 1417HQ is
mounted on the AeroDR Battery Charger.
– Check that the LED indicates recharging status
when mounted on the AeroDR Battery Charger2.
– Be careful not to get your hand caught when
setting the AeroDR Detector into the AeroDR
Battery Charger or AeroDR Battery Charger2.
– If the AeroDR Detector is inserted into the
AeroDR Battery Charger or AeroDR Battery
Charger2, make sure that the AeroDR Battery
Charger or AeroDR Battery Charger2 will not tip
over due to any shock applied to the AeroDR
Detector.
– The AeroDR Detector is precision equipment,
and therefore impact or vibration during radiog-
raphy or image transfer may affect the image
quality. Be careful when handling the AeroDR
Detector during and just after radiography.

CAUTION
– Never leave AeroDR Detectors around heat genera-
tors such as electric carpet.
– Do not damage or deform the AeroDR Detector;
doing so may have an effect on exposed images,
or lead to injury.
– Do not use a sharp object to operate the switch;
doing so may damage the AeroDR 2 1417HQ and
AeroDR 2 1417S.
– WhenusingatooltoafxtheAeroDRGripsheet
or perform replacement, be careful not to get in-
jured by a tip or edge of the tool.
• When using the AeroDR I/F Cable or AeroDR UF
Cable, observe the following:
– Remove the cable by holding the connector
housing.
– Do not let the cable get pinched by doors and do
not place heavy objects on it.
– Do not bend or pull the cable excessively.
– Make sure that the cable is properly connected
to the AeroDR Detector without wobbling.
– Do not connect the connector housing back-
wards.
• Do not sit on or put your feet on the AeroDR Bat-
tery Charger or AeroDR Battery Charger2.
• Take note of the following if the AeroDR Detector
isdamagedanduorescentmediumorleadisex-
posed:
– Immediately stop using the device, and contact
Konica Minolta technical representatives.
– Iftheuorescentmediumgetsinyoureyes,do
not rub and instead wash with running water im-
mediately.
– If you have swallowed any of the fluorescent
mediumoriftheuorescentmediumhasgotten
intoyoureyes,administerrst-aidtreatmentim-
mediately, and consult a doctor.
– If the medium comes into contact with your skin
directly, wash the affected area thoroughly with
water.
– Use and store in a location inaccessible to chil-
dren.
• When the AeroDR Detector is used for exposure,
pay attention to the following items.
– Startexposureafterconrmingonthedisplayof
the image processing controller that the machine
is ready for exposure.
– Perform exposure under the X-ray imaging con-
ditionsthathasbeenconrmedbyus.
– Usethespeciedgridtoperformexposure.
– Apply the specified operation methods to use
the grid.
– Do not let the AeroDR Detector vibrate or re-
ceive shock until the preview image is displayed.
CAUTION
• Precautions when performing exposure in
Aero Sync mode.
– Conrmthattheimageprocessingcontrolleris
ready for exposure through its display before
performing exposure.
– Conrmthataconrmationissoundedfromthe
image processing controller after the start of ex-
posure.
– Do not let the AeroDR Detector vibrate or re-
ceive shock until the preview image is displayed.
– ConrmthattheAeroDRDetector'sbatterylevel
is full before performing exposure.
– Use the system under the exposure condition
conrmedpriortoexposure.
• If there are any radioactive substances remaining in
the patient's body after nuclear medicine testing or
some other reason, the AeroDR 2 1417HQ and the
AeroDR 2 1417S may recognize that X-rays were
emitted and start image transfer. When the image
is transferred, change the X-ray sensitive setting
of the image processing controller to "High" before
performing exposure.
If you change the X-ray sensitivity to "High", make
sure that all of the following conditions are met be-
fore performing exposure. If you perform exposure
under other conditions, you may not be able to get
an image.
– On the AeroDR Detector, set up an area (2 cm x
2 cm or larger) on which the X-rays are emitted
directly.
– Emit the X-rays onto the entire AeroDR Detec-
tor.
– Emit the X-rays by using a tube current of 140
mA or higher or a tube voltage of 90 kV or high-
er.
