If the printer fails to print after these steps, contact Mindray Tech Support.
16.1.3 TRANSDUCER PROBLEMS
Transducer not recognized by system (no B-mode imaging)
To ensure a positive connection, disconnect the transducer and reconnect it.
Inspect the metal contact pins on the connection surface of the transducer connector for
bending or other damage.
To determine a problem with the transducer or system, attach a different transducer.
Disconnect the transducer. Power off the system. Power the system back on and reattach the
transducer to test for functionality.
If system still fails to operate any transducers, contact Mindray Tech Support.
16.1.4 IMAGING PROBLEMS
No/poor B-mode image
No/poor Color Mode image or PW Doppler
Make sure the brightness and contrast settings of the LCD display have not been altered from
proper settings. For information about LCD display settings, see LCD Display.
To ensure the quality of the gray scale resolution of the LCD display, use the gray scale test
pattern (via the Diagnostic menu) that is available. Ensure that all shades can be visualized,
making small adjustments to brightness and contrast from factory defaults, as required, to see
all intensities.
Make adjustments to the various Doppler controls (gain, filter, scale) to attempt to resolve
problem.
Ensure that the scanning angle between the transducer face and the direction of blood flow is
optimized.
In the on-screen menu, under the Preset tab, select one of the factory default settings (General,
etc.) to determine possible maladjustment of user presets.
Ensure that there is an adequate supply of acoustic coupling gel and good patient/transducer
contact.
Switch to a different transducer to determine the problem.
