3-6-5 Probe Connection
V7/V7 PRO has four positions to plug in probes.
• On systems without the 4D Imaging option, the left connector is a “dummy” connector, only used
for parking one probe connector. The three other connectors can be selected and used for
scanning.
• On systems with the 4D Imaging option, the three leftmost connectors are standard probe ports and
the probe port to the right is for the 4D Imaging option.
A separate “Pedof” Doppler probe connector is also available.

NOTE: It is not necessary to turn OFF Power to connect or disconnect a probe.
1.) Hold the probe connector vertically with the cable pointing upward.
2.) Turn the connector locking handle counter-clockwise to the horizontal position.
3.) Align the connector with the probe port and carefully push into place.
4.) Rotate the locking handle to the full vertical position to lock in place. (See Figure 3-11 .)
