Use only approved power connections and never connect a non-GES power cord or multiple socket outlet (i.e., power strip or extension cord) to the GES. Use only the EGI-approved power cords, connectors, cables, adapters, and multiple socket outlet that came with the GES.
Page 24
• Use only accessories, cables, and replacement parts sold by EGI. The use of accessories and cables other than those that ship with the GES, with the exception of those sold by EGI as replacement parts for internal components, may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the GES.
Page 25
To clean external surfaces (except camera lenses and monitor screens): Use a cloth dampened with mild soapy water or isopropyl alcohol, taking care not to wet any electrical contacts. • Dry with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. GES 400 Series Clinical User Manual | 8100399-53 • 2015-07-22...
