WARNING:
1
Do connect the power plug of this system and power
plugs of the peripherals to wall receptacles that meet the
ratings indicated on the rating nameplate. Using an
adapter or multifunctional receptacle may affect the
system grounding performance, and cause the leakage
current to exceed safety requirements.
2
Do connect the video printer to the auxiliary power outlet
of this system. Use the printing cable provided by this
system to connect the printer. Electric shock may result.
3
Connect the grounding cable before turning ON the
system. Disconnect the grounding cable after turning OFF
the system. Otherwise, electric shock may result.
4
For the connection of power and grounding, follow the
appropriate procedures described in this operator’s
manual. Otherwise, there is risk of electric shock. Do not
connect the grounding cable to a gas pipe or water pipe;
otherwise improper grounding may result or a gas
explosion may occur.
5
Before cleaning the system, disconnect the power cord
from the outlet. System failure and electric shock may
result.
6
This system is not water-proof. Do not use this system in
any place where water leakage may occur. If any water is
sprayed on or into the system, electric shock may result.
If water is accidentally sprayed on or into the system,
immediately turn off the power and contact Mindray
Customer Service Department or sales representative.
