  • Page 7 Introduction The Quick Start Guide (TRANSLATED) provides a step-by-step description of the basic features and operation of the LOGIQ 400. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the Basic User Manual in order to provide the information necessary to operate the system safely. The Quick Start Guide takes the user from system familiarization through power on, patient data entry, exam category/preset selection, scan modes/adjustments, basic measurements, report pages, recording images and power off.
