CAUTION: Whenever moving the Vivid 3N ultrasound unit, always observe the following safety

precautions:

1) Proceed cautiously when crossing door or elevator thresholds. Grasp the front handle grips or the

back handle bar, and then push or pull. DO NOT attempt to move the unit by pulling its cables or

probe connectors.

2) Ensure that the unit does not strike walls or door frames.

3) Ensure that the pathway is clear.

4) Move the unit slowly and carefully.

5) Take extra care while moving the unit long distances and on inclines.
