9. Turning the Power ON/OFF
WARNING:
1. Follow the instructions below regarding the power cable
and plug.

Insert the power plug only into a 3-pin (with protective
grounding) medical electrical outlet.

Do not connect the power cable to a 2-pin outlet using
an adapter.

Do not forcibly bend the cable.

Do not modify the power cable or plug.

Do not damage the power cable or plug.

Do not twist the power cable or plug.

Do not bundle the power cable or plug.

Do not place heavy objects on the power cable or plug.

Do not pinch the power cable or plug.

Do not subject the power cable or plug to impact.

Do not pull the power cable to disconnect the plug
from the outlet.
2. Connect the equipotential terminal ( ) of this system
to the equipotential bus of the facility using an
equipotential conductor. When this system is used close
to a device that is applied directly to the patient heart
(such as in a cardiac catheterization room, CCU, or ICU),
voltage equalization with the device is required to prevent
an electric shock to the patient.
3. A functional ground terminal ( ) is used to connect a
functional grounding wire between systems or between
the system and the ground for functional purposes of the
system (for example, to eliminate potential differences in
the signal level between systems or to eliminate potential
differences between the system and the ground).
Do not use the functional ground terminal for protective
grounding. Also, do not connect the functional ground
terminal to a gas pipe or water pipe. Doing so may result
in the failure of functional grounding or in a gas
explosion.
4. Use a separate socket with an appropriate rated capacity
for the supply of power to this system.
5. Do not connect this system to an outlet that shares a
circuit breaker (or fuse) with an outlet to which a device
such as a life-support system is connected. If this
system malfunctions and generates an overcurrent, or if
there is a current surge when the power is turned ON, the
circuit breaker may trip (or the fuse may blow).
