Introduction
System Battery
The iLook ultrasound system comes with two rechargeable lithium ion batteries. Each battery
comprises three lithium ion cells plus electronics, a temperature sensor, and the battery contacts. A
fully charged battery will last for 20 minutes or more depending on usage. Additionally, the display
brightness affects battery life. To conserve battery life, adjust brightness to a lower setting. See
“Brightness” on page 16.
To conserve battery life, the system has an automatic shut off feature. When powered on and no
buttons have been pressed for 5 minutes, the system will automatically turn off. If desired, this
feature can be disabled. See “Auto Shut Off” on page 16.
To ensure the battery remains fully charged, place the system in the docking station or stand when
not in use.
Note: For optimal battery life, store the batteries between -20°C (-4°F) and +25°C (77°F).
