12 Chapter 2: Getting Started
Getting Started
Using AC Power/Charging Battery
The battery charges when the system is connected to the AC power supply. If the system is off and
connected to AC power, a completely discharged battery will fully charge in 2.5 to 3.5 hours. If the
system is on and connected to AC power, a completely discharged battery will fully charge in 5 to
6hours.
The system can run on AC power and charge the battery in three ways.
• Connected directly to the system
• Connected to the mini-dock (See the TITAN Accessory User Guide.)
• Connected to the docking system (See the TITAN Accessory User Guide.)
To operate the system using AC power (directly to system):
1 Connect the DC power cable from the power supply to the connector on the system. See Figure 2
on page 4.
2 Connect the AC power cord to the power supply and connect to a hospital-grade electrical
outlet.
Turning System On/Off
To turn the system on/off:
1 Locate the Power key on the top left side of the system. See Figure 3 on page 14.
2 Press the Power key once to turn on and once to turn off.
To wake up the system:
To conserve battery life, the system is configured to go into sleep mode. The system goes into sleep
mode when the lid is closed or if the system has not been touched for a preset amount of time. Press
any key, touch the touchpad, or open the lid to wake up the system. To adjust the time for sleep
delay, see “To set up Audio and Battery:” on page 28.
Warning: The equipment shall be connected to a center-tapped single phase supply circuit
when users in the United States connect the equipment to a 240V supply system.
Caution: Verify the hospital supply voltage corresponds to the power supply voltage range.
See “Electrical” on page 206.
Caution: Do not use the system if an error message appears on the display. Note the error
code and turn off the system. Call SonoSite or your local representative.
