Console Requirements
2-2-1 Unit Environmental Requirements
NOTE: The Vivid S60N/Vivid S70N system may be operated at an altitude of up to 3000 meters (9842 ft).
NOTE: After a long period of storage, or after transportation of the system with the monitor in the folded-down
position (transportation mode), it is highly recommended to place the monitor in the upright position -
and to leave it in this position for a period of longer than 1 hour before use. This will enable it to properly
adjust to the environmental conditions.
2-2-2 Cooling Requirements
The cooling requirement for the Vivid S60N/Vivid S70N ultrasound unit environment is 2000 BTU/hr.
This figure does not include the cooling required for lights, people, or other equipment in the room.
Note: Each person in the room places an additional 300 BTU/hr demand on the environmental cooling.
2-2-3 Lighting Requirements
For system setup, updates and repairs, bright lighting is required. However, operator and patient
comfort may be optimized if the room lighting is subdued and indirect when a scan is being performed.
Therefore, a combination lighting system (dim/bright) is recommended.
2-2-4 Time and Manpower Requirements
Site preparation takes time. Begin pre-setup checks as soon as possible to allow sufficient time to make
any required changes. If possible, begin these checks as many as six weeks before system delivery.

CAUTION
IF THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN IN STORAGE OR HAS BEEN TRANSPORTED, PLEASE SEE THE
ACCLIMATION REQUIREMENTS BEFORE POWERING ON AND/OR USING THE SYSTEM.
Refer to the
Setup Warnings section on page 3-2.
CAUTION
Only one person is required to unpack the Vivid S60N/Vivid S70N ultrasound unit;
at least two people must be available to roll the system down the wheeling ramp.
Attempts to move the system considerable distances (or on an incline) by one
person alone, could result in personal injury, and/or damage to the system.
