• Do not connect or disconnect the system’s power cord or its accessories
(e.g., a printer or a recorder) without turning OFF the system power first.
This may damage the system and its accessories or cause electric shock.
• If the system is powered off improperly during operation, it may result in
data damage of the system’s hard disk or system failure.
• Do not use a USB memory device (e.g., a USB flash drive, removable hard
disk) which has unsafe data. Otherwise, system damage may result.
• It is recommended to only use the video devices specified in this manual.
• Do not use gel, disinfectant, probes, probe sheath or needle-guided
brackets that are not compatible with the system.
• The applied contrast agency should be compliant with the relevant local

operating this system on clinical examination.
• The cover contains natural rubber that can cause allergic reactions in some
individuals.
• Please use the ultrasound gel compliant with the relevant local regulations.
• DO NOT expose the system to excessive vibration through transportation.
Mechanical damage may result.
• Always keep the system dry. Avoid transporting this system quickly from a
cold place to a warm place; otherwise condensation or water droplets may
form allowing a short circuit and possible electric shock.
• DO NOT use the system in the vicinity of strong electromagnetic field (such as a transformer),
which may affect the performance of the system.
• Do not use the system in the vicinity of high-frequency radiation source (e.g. cellular phones),
which may affect the performance of the system or even lead to failure.
• When using or placing the system, keep the system horizontal to avoid imbalance.
• To avoid damaging the system, do not use it in following environment:
– Locations exposed to direct sunlight.
– Locations subject to sudden changes in environmental temperature.
– Dusty locations.
– Locations subject to vibration.
– Locations near heat generators.
– Locations with high humidity.
• Turn ON the system only after the power has been turned OFF for a while. If the system is
turned ON immediately after being turned OFF, the system may not be rebooted properly and
could malfunction.
