2.1.2 Connecting the Transducer

Only a single transducer can be directly attached to the transducer connector of the system. Up to three transducers

can be attached if you use an optional Three-Port Probe Unit.

Information from the transducer attached to the port is displayed on the ultrasound image.

• Turn OFF the system before attaching / detaching or replacing a transducer.

– When the transducer has to be laid down temporarily during a study, place it on a stable and level surface to prevent it

from falling.

• When transporting a transducer, be sure to disinfect the transducer at the beginning, put it into a plastic bag, and

then put the transducer-enclosed bag in a storage case. If do not doing so, the performance of the transducer could

deteriorate.

• Do not connect anything other than transducers or Three-Port Probe Unit designed for this system to the transducer

connector on the main unit.

• If the connector cannot be inserted properly, do not try to force it in. Instead check the connector orientation. Forcing

the connector in may result in damage to the transducer.
