Battery - General Safety Guidelines
The lithium ion rechargeable battery provides a backup mechanism to the Vivid™ S60/Vivid™ S70
system whenever an AC power source is not available. The battery module is supplied with a lithium
ion rechargeable battery pack (GPA) installed in the battery bay, as standard.
The Vivid™ S60/Vivid™ S70 has built-in charger functionality and switches automatically from battery
operation to AC operation and
vice versa
.
When shutting down the system, leave the main power cable connected to keep the battery fully charged.
NOTE:
Before removing or inserting the Battery, perform system shut-down and disconnect the AC power
cable from the Vivid™ S60/Vivid™ S70 ultrasound scanner.
NOTE:
The lithium ion technology used in the system's battery is significantly less hazardous to the
environment than the lithium metal technology used in some other batteries.
NOTE:
The battery is designed to be replaced every 2 years.
