WARNING
When installing
MyLab
, check that the power cable is not tightly bent, that
it can’t be squashed by a misplaced foot or by heavy objects.
The earth terminal can be connected to an external protective earthing system
as additional protection. This connection is not necessary in most cases and
is only recommended for situations involving multiple equipment in a high-
risk patient environment to provide assurance that all equipment is at the
same potential and operates within acceptable leakage current limits.
Probe Connections
Both imaging and Doppler probes can be connected to four (4) connectors,
indicated by symbols EA1, EA2, EA3 and EA4. The EA1 connector can host
any probe equipped with a big connector while EA2¸EA4 connectors can
host any probe equipped with a small connector.
Probe Adapter
MyLab
can be equipped with a probe adapter to be placed in EA1 connector.
This adapter changes the connector dimension, from big to small size,
allowing the use of small connector probes in EA1.
