Powering the Laptop On and Off
To power the laptop on, press the power button at the top right of the keyboard. This
does not power up the console; you must start the ultrasound software and extend the
console out from the system to power-on the console.
To power off the laptop, either press the power button or select
Shut Down from the
Windows Start menu. Using either method also shuts down the console.
Starting and Exiting the Software
You can use either of these methods to start up the Terason software:
• Double-click the Terason shortcut , on your computer desktop
• Select Start > Programs > Terason > Terason
Note: When running a laptop on battery power, always check the amount of power left.
The system beeps when the battery is getting very low. For information on
checking the battery power status for your computer, refer to the computer manual
