Why does my Sonomed Scanner system lock up or operate inconsistently?
If your Sonomed Scanner system locks up or operates inconsistently, it might be due to interference from sources like electrostatic discharge or power generators. Turning the unit off for a few seconds usually resolves this. In some cases, a hard reset may be needed.
What to do if there is no image on B-scan display of Sonomed Scanner?
If there is no image on the B-scan Display of your Sonomed Scanner, verify that the B-probe and Footpedal are connected properly.
How to fix a Sonomed Scanner with LCD screen that does not illuminate?
If the LCD screen of your Sonomed Scanner does not illuminate when the system is powered on, ensure the AC adapter is connected to the system and a proper power source. Also, make sure the power switch is in the ON position.
What to do if no refractive data is shown in IOL table of Sonomed Scanner AB5500+?
If no refractive data is shown in the IOL table of your Sonomed Scanner AB5500+, verify that all necessary IOL data have been entered (i.e. k-readings, formula constants, etc.).
