Note: The internal memory of the device is only 512MB (~1200 scans)! Therefore, the internal memory may need to be cleaned up several times an expedition to prevent locking up the device’s onboard computer. The X-ray technician will take care of this, but keep this in mind if you are performing a lot of measurements!

Setting Date & Time

To set the time, select Image Removed on the main display screen. Then select Image Removed and then select Date/Time from the available list. A stylus or fine pointed tool (non-metal, such as a wooden applicator stick) is helpful to access the small buttons involved in setting the date and time.

In the screen that displays (Fig. 11), change the date by selecting on year, month and the numerical day. The time can be changed by using the selecting the hour, minute, second and AM/PM and using the small arrows to the right of the box to adjust the number. Please set the device to UTC time (NOT the same as ship operation time). If unsure what UTC time is, check the time on the nearest lab computer.

Once the correct date and time is shown (as close as possible), select ‘Apply’ and then ‘OK’ to exit the screen.
