Equipment Protection

WARNING
Before moving the system, ensure that the keyboard is retracted, the control panel is
centered, and the monitor is locked. When extended, the keyboard might be damaged if it
hits another object, and the video monitor could swing out during transport, causing injury or
equipment damage.
CAUTION
Ensure that the cables for all patient-applied parts are secure before moving the system. Use
the cable management system to ensure that transducer cables are protected from damage.
CAUTION
Do not roll the system over transducer cables or power cables.
Equipment Protection
Follow these precautions to protect your system:
CAUTION
Excessive bending or twisting of cables on patient-applied parts may cause failure or
intermittent operation of the system. Do not roll the system over cables, which may damage
them.
CAUTION
Improper cleaning or sterilization of a patient-applied part may cause permanent damage.
For cleaning and disinfection instructions, see the "Transducer Care" section.
CAUTION
Do not submerge the transducer connector in solution. The cables and transducer bodies are
liquid‑tight, but the connectors are not.
