3.1.3 Safety Reminders

Danger
When using any test instrument that is capable of opening the AC ground line (i.e., meter's ground switch is
OPEN), DO NOT touch the system!
Caution
To prevent electrical shock, connect the system to a properly grounded power outlet. DO NOT use a three to
two prong adapter. This defeats safety grounding.
Caution
When connecting the optional PE (potential equalization) and/or the optional additional GND (ground cable)
it is mandatory to also use the Power Filter (H48701EL).
Caution: The Voluson E-Series requires all covers!
Do not operate this system unless all board covers and frame panels are securely in place, to ensure optimal
system performance and cooling. (When covers are removed, EMI may be present).
Caution
Two people should unpack the system because of its weight. Two people are required whenever a part
weighing 16kg (35 lb.) or more must be lifted.
Caution:
Do not wear the ESD wrist strap when you work on live circuits and more than 30 V peak is present.
Caution
If the system is very cold or hot, do NOT turn on its power until it has had sufficient time to acclimate to its
operating environment.
Caution: Operator Manual(s)
The User Manual(s) should be fully read and understood before operating the Voluson E-Series. Keep
manuals near the system for reference.
Caution: Acoustic Output hazard
Although the ultrasound energy transmitted from the Voluson E-Series ultrasound system is within FDA
limitations, avoid unnecessary exposure. Ultrasound energy can produce heat and mechanical damage.
