Storing Transducers
This section provides information on storing transducers for transport, and daily
and long-term storage.
Storage for Transport
If a carrying case is provided with your transducer, always use the carrying case to
transport the transducer from one site to another.
Follow these guidelines to properly store transducers for transport:
• Make sure that the transducer is clean and disinfected before placing it in the
case to avoid contaminating the foam that lines the carrying case.
• Place the transducer in the case carefully to prevent kinking of the cable.
•Before closing the lid, make sure no part of the transducer is protruding from
the case.
