Supplying Power to the System

The ultrasound system is powered on and off using the green partial power on/off switch ( )
located on the control panel.
Siemens recommends powering off the system every 24 hours to maintain optimal
performance.
Note: This switch does not completely shut down or disconnect the system from the power mains.
This switch only powers on, or off, a portion of the ultrasound system. To completely disconnect the
system from the power mains, the circuit breaker located on the back panel must be switched from
the I to O position.
Caution: Wait approximately 20 seconds between powering the system off and then on again.
This allows the system to complete its shutdown sequence.
To power on the system:
1. Before using the system, perform the Daily Checklist.
See also: Daily Checklist, Safety and Care, Chapter 2, Instructions for Use
2. Verify the power cord is plugged into the system and then into the power supply.
3. Power on ( ) the ultrasound system.
Note: Only power on the system when the power on/off switch is flashing green and when the
system is plugged into the power supply. Ensure the MAINS circuit breaker is in the on position
(I = ON).
When the system is powered on, it runs through a series of self-diagnostic and calibration
tests, after which the system is ready for use.
Note: The system will not run through the complete power-on routine if a problem occurs.
Instead, an error code or message appears on the screen to indicate the problem. Please note
the message and call your local Siemens service representative.
If you selected the Standby button during system power off, then the system is ready for
use within approximately 60 seconds.
The system restarts the transfer of images if a network connection is detected upon system
power on from a standby status. This restart occurs only for images that could not be
transferred when the system was placed in a standby status. For example, a network
connection did not exist when the system was placed in a standby status.
4. Visually check the on-screen displays and lighting indicated in the Daily Checklist.
To power off the system:
1. Briefly press and then release the power on/off switch ( ) to power off the ultrasound
system.
Select the Shut Down button on the displayed System Shut Down dialog box.
2.
If the system is transferring images, then it will wait until the transfer is complete to
power off.
Wait approximately 20 seconds after the system powers off before powering on ( ) the
ultrasound system.
