Connecting the Unit to a Power Source
The initial connection of the Vivid™ 4 ultrasound unit to a power source should be performed by a
qualified person, authorized by GE Medical Systems. Use only the power cords, cables and plugs
provided by or designated by GE Medical Systems to connect the unit to the power source.
CAUTION:
Verify compliance with all electrical and safety requirements and check the power cord to
verify that it is intact and of hospital-grade before connecting the unit to the power source. Products
equipped with a power source (wall outlet) plug should be connected to the fixed power socket that has
a protective grounding conductor. Never use an adapter or converter to connect with a power source
plug (for example, a three-prong to two-prong converter).

Voltage Level Checks
The following voltage level checks are required:
1) Check the rating label at the rear of the ultrasound unit, as described in
,
and verify that your local AC Voltage corresponds to the voltage setting as indicated on the rating
label. The rating label indicates that the factory preset input AC voltage is one of the following:
•
100 V
•
120 V
•
220 - 240 V
2) Verify the maximum power requirement as follows:
•
Maximum power = 1.2 KVa (the system might need)
•
100 V 60-50 Hz 8A
•
120 V 60-50 Hz 8A
•
220 - 240 V 60-50 Hz 4A
DANGER: Failure to provide an adequate earth circuit (Ground) may cause electrical shock and
serious injury.
