Transducer Connection

NOTE: When the probe is connected, it is automatically activated.
Once connected, the probes can be selected for different applications.
Connect a transducer to one of the three rightmost transducer receptacle as follows:
1.) Inspect the probe and probe socket to verify that it is free of debris.
2.) Ensure that the probe locking lever is at horizontal position.
3.) Insert the connector on the receptacle guide pin until it touches the receptacle mating surface.
4.) Twist the probe locking lever clockwise (to vertical position) to lock it in place.
5.) Open the side door, lay the cable into the intended cable holder and close the door.
6.) Carefully position the probe cord so that it is free to move and is not resting on the floor.
Do not bend the probe cable acutely. Fault conditions can result in electric shock hazard.
CAUTION
Do not touch the surface of probe connectors which are exposed when the probe is removed.
!! CAUTION:
Do not touch the patient when connecting or disconnecting a probe.
NOTE: Prior to connecting or disconnecting a probe, freeze the image.
It is not necessary to turn OFF power to connect or disconnect a transducer.
