4-2-2 Power ON/Boot-up (cont’d)
NOTE: 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.
NOTE: 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 S5 N or Vivid S6 N 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 circuit breaker 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 on the Vivid S5
N or Vivid S6 N ultrasound scanner.
5.) Connect the Mains Power Cable female plug to the Power Inlet (AC IN - refer to Figure 4-1 "Mains
Power Connector - Rear Panel" on page 4-3) at the rear of the unit. Use the cable clip to secure the
cable firmly in the socket
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).
Use only power supply cords, cables and plugs provided by or designated by GE HEALTHCARE.
The 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.
