the unit itself. Remove by pulling on the cable connector - DO NOT pull on the cable.
1) Turn OFF the AC circuit breaker on the rear of the unit.
2) Unplug the mains power cable from the AC wall outlet socket.

Switching the System ON/OFF
3-5-6-1
Switching the System ON
1) Verify that the ultrasound unit has been connected to the power supply and that the circuit breaker
is ON, as described in the
Connecting the Ultrasound Unit to the Electrical Outlet
section, on
page 3-32.
2) Hold down the
On/Off
button on the control panel for 3 seconds. The system automatically
performs an initialization sequence which includes the following:
•
Loading the operating system.
•
Running a quick diagnostic check of the system.
•
Detecting connected probes.
The system first enters 2D-Mode with the probe and application that were last used before the system
was shut down. If the probe has been removed since the system was last used, the currently connected
probes and their available applications are displayed and selected by default.

Switching the System OFF
NOTE:
After turning OFF the system, wait at least 10 seconds before turning it on again. The system may not
be able to boot-up if power is recycled too quickly.
The system can be switched OFF in one of three ways:
•
By holding down the
On/Off
button for 3 seconds, the unit will perform an automatic shutdown
sequence that protects the hard disk and switches into an energy-saving standby mode.
•
By holding down the
On/Off
button for more than 3 seconds, the unit will display a shutdown menu,
enabling the operator to shutdown the system to standby mode or to perform a full shutdown (see
Figure 3-20
on page 3-34).
•
By holding down the
On/Off
button for more than 10 seconds, the unit will perform an emergency
shutdown. It is not recommended to use this type of shutdown unless the application is locked and
no other operation can be performed.
NOTICE
Disconnecting the Mains Power Cable
before
switching OFF the Circuit Breaker will activate the
uninterruptible power system (UPS) in the back-end processor, forcing an ordered shutdown of the
system.
NOTICE
When AC power is applied to the scanner, the
On/Off
button on the control console illuminates amber,
indicating the Back-end Processor is in
Standby
mode.
