Accessed the Imaging window.
Accessed the Acquisition interface.

To acquire an image:
Leave the x-ray room and close the door. You must keep visual contact with the patient during acquisition.
Important: To stop the acquisition in an emergency, release the exposure button on the remote control or press the red emergency stop button.
Launch the x-ray with the remote control. Press and hold the exposure button until you see the on-screen Release Hand Switch message. The Ready Indicator turns yellow, and a warning is sounded, indicating x-ray transmission.
