Receiving and Unpacking the Equipment
The Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N ultrasound unit, together with the peripherals, probes, cables, and
accessories, are shipped from the factory in a single cardboard shipping carton mounted on a raised
wooden base - see Figure 3-2 on page 3-6.
Where the specific customer requirements are for a Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N ultrasound unit with
peripherals, this is shipped in a smaller-sized cardboard shipping carton mounted on a raised wooden
base, or placed on top of the main cardboard carton that contains the scanner- see Figure 3-3 on
page 3-7.
Unpacking instructions for each type of shipping carton are provided separately in the following
sections:
• ‘Unpacking the Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N with Peripherals” on page 3-8
• ‘Unpacking the Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N” on page 3-9
NOTE: For details of weights and dimensions of all three shipping cartons, refer to Table 3-4 on page 3-7.
Each cardboard shipping carton is sealed with plastic tape and secured on the outside with plastic
straps. The interior of the carton is fully lined with re-sealable water-proof wrapping to protect the
contents from external moisture; silica gel bags are also placed among the contents to absorb any
condensation or moisture within the carton.
Before unpacking the unit
• Inspect the carton for visible damage.
• Inspect the Drop and Tilt indicators (on the Shock-watch and Tilt-watch labels, respectively) for
evidence of accidental shock or tilting during transit (damage incident) - refer to Figure 3-1
below.
Please read this section fully before unpacking the Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N ultrasound unit.
After unpacking the unit:
It is recommended to keep and store the shipping carton and all other packing materials
(including the support foams, anti-static plastic cover, etc.), in case the unit has to be moved to
a different location in the future.
For warranty purposes, storage of the above is required for one year from date of purchase.
