System Preparation 3-3 
3.2.2  Powered by Batteries 
  When connected to the external AC power supply, the system is powered by the 
external power. The lithium ion batteries inside it are in the charging status. 
  When disconnected from the external power supply, the system is powered by the 
lithium ion batteries. Refer to Chapter 15 for the detailed operations and precautions. 
3.2.3 Equipotential Terminal 
The symbol    represents the equipotential terminal that is used for balancing the 
protective earth potentials between the system and other electrical equipment. For the 
equipotential terminal location, please refer to “2.8 Power Supply Panel”. 
WARNING: 
1. 
Be sure to connect the equipotential wire before 
inserting the power plug into the receptacle; be sure 
to remove the power plug from the receptacle before 
disconnecting the equipotential wire; otherwise 
electric shock may result. 
 
2. 
When you connect another device to this system, you 
should use the equipotential wire to connect each of 
equipotential terminals; otherwise electric shock may 
result. 
 
3. 
Connect the earth cable before turning ON the 
system. Disconnect the earth cable after turning OFF 
the system. Otherwise, electric shock may result. 
 
4. 
DO NOT connect this system to the outlets with the 
same circuit breakers and fuses that control the 
current to devices such as life-support systems. If 
this system malfunctions and generates over-current, 
or when there is an instantaneous current at power 
ON, the circuit breakers and fuses of the building’s 
supply circuit may be tripped. 
3.3 Power ON/OFF 
3.3.1  Powering ON the System 
CAUTION: 
To ensure safe and effective system operation, you must 
perform daily maintenance and checks.   
If the system begins to function improperly – immediately 
stop scanning. If the system continues to function improperly 
– fully shut down the system and contact Mindray Customer 
Service Department or sales representative. 
If you use the system in a persistent improperly functioning 
state – you may harm the patient or damage the equipment.
