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.
CAUTION
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.
