HAZARD:
NOTE:
CAUTION:
WARNING:
1.2. X-RAY GENERATOR
4. Do not use SOUND TRB9020V until the patient and operator
are positioned correctly and ready for the radiographic
exam.This reduces the possibility of interruption, and
prevents inadvertent X-ray exposure to others.
5. Only a licensed or authorized radiographer (e.g. doctor,
X-ray technician, etc.) should operate the SOUND TRB9020V.

7. During operation, consult and/or develop a technique chart
for appropriate anatomy, distance, and screen/film or digital
imaging system speed.
6. Please take the following precautions during insallation:
This X-ray unit may be dangerous to patient and operator unless safe exposure
factors and operating instructions and maintenance schedules are observed.
A) Keep equipment dry.
B) Do not subject equipment to excessive atmospheric
pressure, temperature, humidity, direct sunlight, dust,
or air containing salt and sulphur.
C) Do not subject equipment to excessive vibration and/
or shock during transportation, etc.
D) Do not store equipment under any adverse gaseous
conditions.
E) Insure that the input electrical voltage, amperage and
hertz are correct and the charger is properly grounded.

This X-ray unit may be dangerous to patient and operator unless safe exposure
factors and operating instructions and maintenance schedules are observed.
8. After using the equipment:
A) Remove cords carefully, if necessary.
B) Keep equipment clean and dry.
C) Store inside carrying case in cool, dry environment.
9. Maintenance.
For proper maintenance, this schedule must be followed:
A) Every 6 months
B) Battery should be fully charged. If the battery is not
fully charged over 6 months, battery cells will over-
discharge and become damaged.
(Charging to 50% at every 2 months is recommended.)
C) Check the alignment of the collimator light field with
the x-ray beam.
D) Check the audible and visible exposure functions.
E) Check to see that all bolts, screws and lock nuts
are tight.
G) Re-adjust the position of laser beams to be aligned with
the central ray of the x-ray unit at the source-to im
age-distance (SID) you typically use.

TO INSTALLERS, SERVICE PERSONNEL, AND USERS OF X-RAY SYSTEMS.
When performing periodic maintenance, calibration, or changing
of the components of an x-ray system, the service technician
should confirm whether all components and screws are properly
connected and securely tightened. Continued use of loose
components is dangerous and could cause further loosening,
damage of screws and bolts, or mount failure which could result
in HEAVY COMPONENTS FALLING DURING USE. The
operator should report all loose system components to x-ray ser
vice personnel for immediate repair.
Routinely check the collimator to confirm that it is securely
mounted to the tubehead. The system should also be inspected for
loose joints, not only between the collimator and tubehead/
control, but other mounting areas as well.
WARNING
MODIFICATIONS, SERVICE AND REPAIR MAY ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY
THE MANUFACTURER OR OTHER PERSONNEL EXPLICITLY AUTHORIZED
BY MIKASA AND OUR AUTHORIZED SERVICE PARTNERS.
Only original replacement parts may be used for repair. Opening
of the unit body and dismantling are not permitted
and may result in:
A) Loss of warranty.
B) Forfeiture of the operating safety for user and patient, other
wise guaranteed by the international legal regulations.
C) Danger of bodily injuries due to high voltage!
All correspondence concerning this system must state the unit
type and the serial number.

THE SOUND TRB9020V IS A BATTERY POWERED X-RAY
DEVICE UTILIZING THE LATEST HIGH FREQUENCY
RESONANT INVERTER SYSTEM. THIS X-RAY UNIT HAS
THE FOLLOWING FEATURES:
1. This x-ray unit is very easy to carry by hand because of its small
size and low weight.
2. This unit is battery powered.
3. Dual Laser Pointers in the light beam collimator are easy to adjust
to indicate the central ray at your typical
source-to-image distance (SID).
4. A high frequency resonant inverter with output greater than con
ventional models and constant x-ray tube voltage.
5. Output of kV and mA are corrected and stabilized by automatic
feedback circuits.
6. Focal spot size is 0.8 mm only. Therefore, the quality of X-ray
images is almost the same or better than X-ray images taken by
bigger stationary X-ray units.
7. The kV can be adjusted in 2kV steps from 40 kV to 90 kV. mA
output adjusts automatically. kV, mAs and sec. are digitally
indicated on the Control Panel.
8. It is easy to select either exposure time or mAs display on the
Control Panel.
9. X-ray exposures are confirmed by buzzer and X-ray Indicator.
10. The last kV and timer settings before the unit is turned off are
stored for the next operation.
11. Five different technique settings may be stored in memory for
quick recall on this x-ray unit.
12. The SOUND TRB9020V has an interface connector for DR digital
imaging system.

X - r a y g e n e r a t o r.
Pressing the button for a few seconds
(until the unit is power-on).
Press again to power off.
2. kV Indicator
This Indicator displays the tube voltage.
When powered on, it will temporarily display
the version number of the system software
for 4 sec Thereafter it will display the
previous stored kV values. The eco-mode
takesover if the control panel is not operated
for 10 sec. This screen will fade to save power
After another 80 sec., the unit turns itself
off. When powered on again, the previous
settings are displayed
3. kV Adjustment Buttons

indicator and sec / mAs indicator blinks slowly.
The kV indicator will display 90 and sec/mAs
indicator 0.3. The range of High Power Mode is
82 – 90 kV, 0.01 – 0.3 sec.
mA output increases from 10 to 15 in this kV
range. When either of these values is adjusted to
exceed this range, the mode returns to normal.
(The slow blinking will subside.)
9. sec / mAs Adjustment Buttons
These buttons adjust X-ray irradiation time per
0.01 sec step or mAs value.

a. Maintenance and Care of Battery
The SOUND TRB9020V model features a purpose-built Lithium-Ion
battery designed especially for use with this X-ray unit. It is unique in
the compactness of its size and the power it can generate to provide the
optimum X-ray strength.
Like all rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries, it requires routine
maintenance and care in its use and handling to achieve maximum battery
life span. The following details the best practice when working with this
product.
Lithium-Ion rechargeable batteries have a limited life and will gradually
lose their capacity to hold a charge. The general estimated life of this
Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery is about 600 charges. (One charge
cycle is a period of use from fully charged, to fully discharged, and fully
recharged again.)
Battery life depends on usage frequency, environment and storage
conditions.
Observing our recommendations for charging operation, storage and
handling of the battery will ensure the maximum lifespan of each battery.
b. Charging
Our instructions and precautions about charging the battery are designed
to ensure the maximum possible life of the battery. If these instructions
are not followed correctly, the battery will still work however its lifespan
may be compromised.
Regarding how to charge, please see the “6.3 Charging the Battery”.

WARNING
CAUTION
To avoid compromising the x-ray unit or its performance, do not
charge the battery in environments where temperatures are below
50°F/10°C or above 104°F/40°C, and humidity is 85%RH max.
There is a possibility that the performance and/or product life of the
battery may decrease over time with the battery left installed in the
x-ray unit. Therefore, it is recommended to remove battery from the
x-ray unit during transportation.
c. Operation
When the battery is left in the X-ray generator, a weak current is
consumed by the internal battery control circuit. The battery should be
removed from the unit when the X-ray generator is not used for more than
1 w e e k .
d . Storage
Battery life is shortened by usage and storage at extremes of temperature
and/or humidity. To ensure maximum battery life and to prevent rust,
maintain the following environmental conditions for storage of the battery.
Environmental condition for use and storage after daily use
Charge:
+10 ~ + 40°C (50°F ~ 104°F)
Discharge:
30% to 75%RH max, excluding condensation
Atmospheric Pressure:
700 hPa to 1060 hPa
Other:
Avoid using where explosive or corrosive gases are present.
Environmental condition for long storage and transportation
