Installation Warnings
1.) The Vivid q N portable ultrasound scanner weighs only 5 Kgs (11 lbs). (This is the weight of the
scanner without any optional accessories). However since the SafeLock Cart weighs approximately
40 kg (88 lbs), two persons are always required to unpack it.
2.) There are no operator-serviceable components. To prevent shock, do not remove any covers or
panels. Should problems or malfunctions occur, unplug the power cord. Only qualified service
personnel should carry out servicing and troubleshooting.
