Site circuit breaker
It is recommended that the branch circuit breaker for the
Ultrasound system be readily accessible.
Site power outlets
A dedicated AC power outlet must be within reach of the
Ultrasound system without extension cords. Other outlets
adequate for the external peripherals, medical and test
equipment needed to support this Ultrasound system must also
be present within 1 m (3.2 ft.) of the Ultrasound system.
Electrical installation must meet all current local, state, and
national electrical codes.
Power cable
If the Ultrasound system arrives without a power cable, or with
the wrong cable, you must contact your GE dealer or the
installation engineer must supply what is locally required.

Power outage may occur. The Ultrasound System requires a
dedicated single branch circuit. To avoid circuit overload and
possible loss of critical care equipment, make sure you do not
have any other equipment operating on the same circuit.
