8-2 Warnings and important
Energy Control and Power Lockout for Vivid T8/Vivid T8 Pro.
When servicing parts of the Ultrasound system where there is
exposure to voltage greater than 30 volts:
1. Follow LOCK OUT/TAG OUT procedures.
2. Turn off the breaker.
3. Unplug the Ultrasound system.
4. Maintain control of the Ultrasound system power plug.
5. Wait for at least 30 seconds for capacitors to discharge as
there are no test points to verify isolation.
6. Remove/disconnect the battery, if present.
Ultrasound System components may be energized.
Because of the limited access to cabinets and equipment in the
field, placing people in awkward positions, GE has limited the
lifting weight for one person in the field to 16 KG (35 LBS).
Anything over 16 KG (35 LBS) requires 2 people.
DO NOT touch any boards with integrated circuits prior to
taking the necessary ESD precautions.
Always connect yourself, via an arm-wrist strap, to the advised
ESD connection point located on the rear of the Ultrasound
system (near the power connector).
Follow general guidelines for handling of electrostatic sensitive
equipment.
