No Power
If you turn the Cypress system
ON
and it does not boot up properly:
If you hear the fan and the keyboard is lit, but the screen doesn’t light up, call
your Siemens representative.
If the fan doesn’t come on and the keyboard is not lit:
1.
Check to make sure the power cable is plugged in.
2.
Check the fuse. See “Fuse Replacement” on page 11-8.
LCD Screen
WARNING
It is possible for individual display pixels in the Cypress system
flat-panel
LCD
(liquid crystal display) to become fixed in an
ON
or
OFF
state. This should not interfere with normal operation of the
system, but could cause confusion if a “stuck” pixel occurs inside
an alphanumeric display. For example, a pixel stuck in the
ON
state might be confused for a decimal point in a measurement,
and a pixel stuck in the
OFF
state might obscure the display of a
decimal point in a measurement. The system creates a space
around the decimal point separating the whole number from the
decimal — this will help guide you in reading a measurement
even if there is a stuck pixel. If there is any suspicion of this prob-
lem, the multiple display of general measurement results in the
Selection Menu and on the upper right of the imaging screen,
and the multiple display of specific measurements in the Calc
Menus and the Patient Report will allow you to verify the correct
results.
