Different Power Outlet

Connect the unit to another power outlet and verify if the noise changes or disappear.
NOTE: GE requires a dedicated power and ground for the proper operation of its Ultrasound equipment. This
dedicated power shall originate at the last distribution panel before the Ultrasound system.
The Venue™ will function on voltages from 100-240 Volts and 50 or 60 Hz. However, if using 220 volt
power in North America, then a center tapped power source is required.
Sites with a mains power system with defined Neutral and Live:
The dedicated line shall consist of one phase, a neutral (not shared with any other circuit), and a full
size ground wire from the distribution panel to the Ultrasound outlet.
Sites with a mains power system without a defined Neutral:
The dedicated line shall consist of one phase (two lines), not shared with any other circuit, and a full
size ground wire from the distribution panel to the Ultrasound outlet.

Different System

Try another Venue™ scanner at the same location and look for the same noise. If the noise is present
on the new system too, the noise is most likely from an external source/equipment.
