1-4-5 Vivid S60N/Vivid S70N Battery Safety (part of P/S)
NOTE: The Vivid™ S60N/Vivid™ S70N ultrasound scanner is supplied with a lithium ion battery in the battery
bay, as an option.
The lithium ion battery provides power for safely shutting down the system or placing it in Standby mode,
when an AC power source is interrupted or the AC power cable is disconnected from the wall outlet.
Lithium ion batteries last longer than conventional batteries and do not require replacement as often. In
Standby mode, you can expect 4 hours of battery life with a fully-charged battery.
Used batteries should not be placed with common household waste products. Contact local authorities
for the location of a chemical waste collection program nearest you.
NOTE: Regulations vary for different countries. Dispose of a used battery in accordance with local regulations.
