NOTE: Any rest energy within our scanners or their components will be
below 60 V DC or 2 mJ.
To avoid injury
• Do not remove the system's protective covers. No
user-serviceable parts are inside. If servicing is required,
contact qualified technical personnel.
• Connect the attachment plug to a hospital-grade grounding
outlet to ensure adequate grounding.
• Do not place liquids on or above the system. Conductive
fluids seeping into the active circuit components may cause
short circuiting, which could result in an electrical fire.
• An electrical hazard may exist if any light, monitor, or visual
indicator remains on after the system is turned off.
Fuses blown within 36 hours of being replaced may indicate a
malfunctioning electrical circuit within the system. In this event,
the system must be checked by GE Ultrasound service
personnel. No attempt should be made to replace the fuses with
others of a higher rating.
Moving hazard
Special care must be used to avoid injury when moving or
transporting the system.
• Always be sure the pathway is clear.
• Limit the speed of movement to a careful walk.
• Use at least two people when moving the system on
inclines.
Ensure that the system is well prepared before transporting.
Refer to ‘Moving and transporting the system’ on
page 3-48
