Positioning & transporting the system
Moving the system
When moving or transporting the system, take the precautions described below to ensure maximum safe-
ty for personnel, the system and other devices.
Before moving the system
Press
for 3 seconds to force system shutdown and completely switch the system off. Disconnect all cables
belonging to off-board peripheral devices (external printer, etc.) from the console.
NOTE:
To prevent damage to the power cable, DO NOT pull excessively on the cable or sharply bend the cord while
wrapping it.
Store all probes in their original storage boxes or wrap them in a soft cloth or foam to prevent damage. Re-
place the gel and other essential accessories in the appropriate storage case.
Ensure that no loose items are left on the console.
Moving the system
Carry the system by the handle, or place the system on the cart to move it.
NOTE:
Walk slowly and carefully when moving the system. Do not let
the system strike walls or door frames.
Transporting the system
Take extra care when transporting the system in a vehicle. After preparing the system as described above, please
take the following additional safety precautions:
Only use suitable vehicles to transport the system. Before transporting, place the
system in its original cardboard storage box. Load and unload the system to a vehi-
cle parked on a level surface.
Spread the weight of the unit evenly and in the middle of the vehicle. Keep the device steady and upright at all times.
Ensure that the transporting vehicle can bear the weight of system plus the passengers.
Secure the system firmly with straps or as directed in the instructions inside the vehicle so as to prevent movement dur-
ing transport. Any movement, coupled with the weight of the system, could lead to the system breaking loose.
Drive carefully to prevent damage due to vibrations. Avoid unpaved roads, high speeds, and sudden stops or starts.
