WHEN THE UNIT IS RAISED FOR A REPAIR OR MOVED ALONG ANY INCLINE, USE
EXTREME CAUTION SINCE IT MAY BECOME UNSTABLE AND TIP OVER.
WARNING
ULTRASOUND PROBES ARE HIGHLY SENSITIVE MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS THAT

HANDLING AND PROTECT FROM DAMAGE WHEN NOT IN USE. DO NOT USE A
DAMAGED OR DEFECTIVE PROBE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS
CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.

IT MAY BE DAMAGED.
CAUTION
The LOGIQ F Series weighs 65 kg or more, depending on installed peripherals, when ready
