WARNING
Connecting externally powered USB hard disk drives to the system involves
electrical safety risks. If you connect such drives to the system, you must observe
the electrical safety warnings in the "Safety" section. Philips recommends that
you use only USB hard disk drives powered from the USB connector, or use
USB flash memory devices.
CAUTIONS
• When transferring data to or from a USB device, be sure the transfer is
complete before removing the USB device. For USB devices that have an
indicator, be sure the indicator is no longer flashing before removing the
device.
• Ultrasound systems may become vulnerable to security breaches when they
accept removable media. Removable USB storage devices may contain
viruses. Philips recommends that you use the system to format USB storage
devices before working with them.
• Philips does not recommend that you use USB storage devices for long-term
storage. Follow your IT department's recommended practices for intended
use of USB storage devices. For more information about security on the
ultrasound system, see Shared Roles for System and Data Security, included
on your User Information CD.
• Some USB flash memory drives are sold with "U3" smart technology
installed. Having this application on the memory device should not interfere
with the system. When these devices are plugged into a personal computer,
they may launch utilities that could be confusing. The best way to avoid
interference with these utilities is to format the USB device on your
computer before plugging it into the system.
• Use only Class-B-compliant USB storage devices with the system. USB
devices that are not Class-B compliant may cause RF emissions that exceed
Class B limits. See the device's documentation to determine whether it is
Class-B compliant.
