Chapter 4: Setup and Operation 39
Installing and Removing the CompactFlash Card
Images and clips are saved to a CompactFlash card and are organized in a patient list. The images and clips in the
patient list are organized alphabetically by the patient name and ID. Images and clips are archived from the
ultrasound system to a PC using a USB, Ethernet connection, or CompactFlash card. Images and clips on the
CompactFlash card cannot be viewed directly from a CompactFlash reader.

1 Verify the ejector pin is fully pushed in.
2 Insert the CompactFlash card into the front slot on the ultrasound system. See Figure 1.1 on
page 2.
• The front slot is used to store images.
• The back slot is used to update systems/transducers and to import/export DICOM
configuration information and OB Tables.
• The CompactFlash card is ready to use when the save icon and the image and clip
counters are displayed on the screen.
Caution:
If the CompactFlash icon and image and clip counters are not displayed in the system status, the
CompactFlash card may be defective. Turn the system off and replace the CompactFlash card.
The CompactFlash card may be restored if it is formatted on a PC. Formatting the card will erase
all data. If the card is physically damaged, formatting will not restore it.
