The battery performance may be degraded over time, so you need to check the battery
performance periodically. The checking procedures are shown as follows:
1. Stop the ultrasound exam.
2. Connect the system to the AC power supply to charge the batteries until current
capacity is full.
3. Disconnect the system from the AC power supply to power the system by the
batteries until the system automatically shuts down.
4. The powering time of the batteries indicates the battery performance.
If the powering time of the battery is much shorter than that specified, you may replace
the battery or contact the service personnel.

improperly used, its life may be shortened.
