System Preparation 3-1 
3  System Preparation 
WARNING: 
1. 
Do not connect the three-wire cable of the system with 
a two-wire plug without protective grounding; 
otherwise, electric shock may result.
 
 
2. 
Do connect the power plug of this system to wall 
receptacles that meet the ratings indicated on the 
rating nameplate. If adapters or multifunctional 
receptacles are used, it may cause the leakage current 
to exceed the safety requirement.
 
 
3. 
In the environment that patient is 1.5 meters around, 
connect peripherals to the auxiliary power outlet 
which is capable of isolation protection, or power the 
peripherals by auxiliary output cable or isolation 
transformer complied with IEC 60601-1-1 or the power 
input of the same safety level.
 
 
4. 
DO NOT use power supply of different phases to 
power peripherals.
 
 
5. 
When using peripherals not powered by the auxiliary 
output of the ultrasound system, or using peripherals 
other than permitted by Mindray, make sure the overall 
leakage current of peripherals and the ultrasound 
system meets the requirement of the local medical 
device electrical regulation (like enclosure leakage 
current should be no more than 500uA of IEC 60601-1-
1), and the responsibility is held by the user.
 
3.1  Move/Posit the System 
Please read and understand the safety precautions before placing the system to ensure 
safety for both operator and device. 
1.  Switch off the power, unplug the power cord. 
2.  Disconnect all cables from the off-board peripheral devices (printer, recorder, etc.). 
3.  Release the four casters, and move the system by holding the handle. 
4.  When you move the system to a desired location, lock the four casters. 
5.  Leave at least 20cm at the back and both sides of the system. 
CAUTION: 
1.  Maintain a generous – free air flowing space around the 
back and both sides of the system; failure may result due to 
increased rise in system operating temperature. 
 
2.  Pay extra attention when moving the system on a sloping 
ground, DO NOT move it on a more than 10°-sloped plane to 
avoid system toppling.
