NOTE: The Venue™ system may be operated at an altitude of up to 3000 meters (9842 ft).
IF THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN IN STORAGE OR HAS BEEN TRANSPORTED, PLEASE SEE THE
CAUTION
ACCLIMATION REQUIREMENTS BEFORE POWERING ON AND/OR USING THE SYSTEM.
Refer to the Setup Warnings section on page 3-2.
NOTE: After a long period of storage, or after transportation of the system with the monitor in the folded-down
position (transportation mode), it is highly recommended to place the monitor in the upright position -
and to leave it in this position for a period of longer than 1 hour before use. This will enable it to properly
adjust to the environmental conditions.
2-2-2

Cooling Requirements

The cooling requirement for the Venue™ ultrasound unit environment is 2000 BTU/hr. This figure does
not include the cooling required for lights, people, or other equipment in the room.
NOTE: Each person in the room places an additional 300 BTU/hr demand on the environmental cooling.
2-2-3

Lighting Requirements

Bright light is needed for Ultrasound system installation, updates and repairs. However, operator and
patient comfort may be optimized if the room light is subdued and indirect. Therefore a combination
lighting system (dim/bright) is recommended. Keep in mind that lighting controls and dimmers can be a
source of EMI which could degrade image quality. These controls should be selected to minimize
possible interference.

Two people are required to unpack the Venue™ ultrasound unit; at least two
people must be available to roll the system down the wheeling ramp. Attempts to
move the system considerable distances (or on an incline) by one person alone,
could result in personal injury, and/or damage to the system.
