Acquisition Module Description and Replacement Procedures 131
B.3 Replacement Procedure
This section outlines the procedure for replacing an acquisition module and
connecting the phased array probe to it.
Do not remove an acquisition module if the OmniScan is turned on. Doing so could
damage the circuits and cause any unsaved data to be lost. Always make sure that the
OmniScan is shut down before removing any acquisition modules.
In order to prevent injury, do not place your fingers between the acquisition module
and the instrument’s stand (when unfolded).
To replace an acquisition module
1. Shut down the OmniScan.
2. Remove all batteries, and disconnect the DC adaptor if applicable.
3. Place the instrument face down on a stable surface.
4. Unscrew the two captive screws either by hand or using a flathead screwdriver.
If the captive screws are sufficiently loose, small metal springs cause them to pop
out on their own.
Do not try to remove the captive screws completely, because they are not designed for
this purpose. Trying to remove them will result in material damage.
5. Push out the two module retaining hooks (the two plastic levers located on the
opposite side of the captive screws) to loosen the module.
6. Remove the module.
