Using Manual Motions
Note: For the purpose of this manual, the Manual operating mode of the remote
positioning controls is fully explained and illustrated. This operating mode may or
may not be available at your treatment center.
Manual motions are available using the Manual operating mode of the hand-
pendant or of the remote positioning controls. This type of motion is used to move
a single piece of equipment along an axis/direction either without a specific target or
with a target defined on the go.
Manual motions allow the user to execute the refinements that ensure proper
patient positioning according to the circumstances. Manual motions may follow an
Auto motion.

necessary to check the tumor position with the imaging systems.
