Power ON/Bootup

Connect Mains Power to the Unit

ALWAYS CONNECT THE UNIT TO A FIXED POWER SOCKET WHICH HAS THE

PROTECTIVE GROUNDING CONNECTOR.

NEVER USE A THREE-TO-TWO PRONG ADAPTER; THIS DEFEATS THE

SAFETY GROUND.

ENSURE THAT THE POWER CORD AND PLUG ARE INTACT AND THAT THE

POWER PLUG IS THE PROPER HOSPITAL-GRADE TYPE (WHERE REQUIRED).

SYSTEM REQUIRES ALL COVERS

OPERATE THIS UNIT ONLY WHEN ALL BOARD COVERS AND FRAME PANELS ARE

SECURELY IN PLACE. THE COVERS ARE REQUIRED FOR SAFE OPERATION, GOOD SYSTEM

PERFORMANCE AND COOLING PURPOSES.

Use only power supply cords, cables and plugs provided by or designated by GE Healthcare.

Do not cycle the Circuit Breaker ON-OFF-ON in less than five (5) seconds. When turning OFF

the Circuit Breaker, the system should de-energize completely before turning the circuit breaker

When turning on a system from standby mode, it takes a few seconds before it responds. Do not push

the On/off button again during this period. A second push will initiate a full shutdown.

If the unit has been in the OFF condition for an extended period of time, (3 to 5 days or more),

the unit may not boot, or may beep when turned on.

Follow These Steps to Connect Mains Power to the Unit

Connecting the Vivid 7 ultrasound unit involves preliminary checks of the power cord, voltage level and

compliance with electrical safety requirements.

1.) Ensure that the wall outlet is of appropriate type, and that the power switch is turned off.

2.) Uncoil the power cable, allowing sufficient slack so that the unit can be moved slightly.

3.) Verify that the power cable is without any visible scratches or any sign of damage.

4.) Verify that the on-site mains voltage is within the limits indicated on the rating label near the Circuit

Breaker at the rear of the unit.
