1-3.
Operating the various switches Operating instructions of each switch are explained below.
1-3-1. ACOUSTIC POWER The ACOUSTIC POWER function enables the acoustic power to be manually adjusted from the automatic setting.
<Operation method> (1)
Press the ACOUSTIC POWER switch.
(2)
Using rotary encoder 4, adjust the output to the optimum value. →
(3)
Turning rotary encoder 4 clockwise causes the output to increase, and vice − versa. At the same time, the output value on the image changes.
Press the ACOUSTIC POWER switch to finish this function.
[Remark] In order to prevent a malfunction, the lamp in the ACOUSTIC POWER switch goes out automatically after 5 seconds and the function is terminated, even if a function termination operation is not performed.
1-3-2. B GAIN The B GAIN knob adjusts the sensitivity of the B mode image. The sensitivity (gain) can be varied between 30 and 90 dB, and is displayed on the screen. [Remark] You can set the gain at startup by means of a preset, however depending upon the conditions of the probe, and so on, the gain may not always match the dB value displayed on the screen.
<Operation method> (1)
Turn the knob counterclockwise or clockwise. →
(2)
Turning the knob clockwise increases the image sensitivity, and vice-versa.
While observing an image, adjust the sensitivity to a suitable level.
1-3-3. CANCEL Used to interrupt a selected operation or return to the previous step during a measurement.

1-3-4. CURSOR/B.L.S The CURSOR/B.L.S. function moves or sets the cursor and the baseline of the Doppler pattern.
<CURSOR> <Operation method> (1)
Press the M switch to change over from the 1B mode display to the B/M mode display. →
(2)
The CURSOR/B.L.S switch is lighted in orange, and the cursor is displayed on the B mode image.
Using the trackball, move the cursor to the position where you wish to detect the M mode.
[Remark] The method of operating the cursor in the B/D mode is the same as the description above. The cursor cannot be moved on the frozen image.
<B.L.S. (BASE LINE SHIFT)> By shifting the baseline, the Doppler pattern can be displayed without the aliasing.
<Operation method> (1)
Press the PW switch to change over from the 1B mode display to the B/D mode display. →
The CURSOR/B.L.S switch is lighted in orange, and a cursor is displayed on the B mode image.
(2)
Adjust the position of the baseline with rotary encoder 4.
(3)
Press the CURSOR/B.L.S switch. →
(4)
The baseline is reset at the center position.
Press the CURSOR/B.L.S switch again. →
This function is finished.

1-3-5. DEPTH/RANGE The DEPTH/RANGE function switches over the display depth of the image. The display depth is switched over based on the transmission point of the displayed image. The depth is common to both the B and M mode images. The display depth that was last set remains, even if the mode changes. You cannot change the display depth of a frozen image.
<Operation method> : If you press the switch lever upward, a displayed depth becomes shallow. (The image is getting enlarged.) The least depth is obtained by pressing this switch continuously until the depth no longer decreases. :
:If you press the switch lever downward, a displayed depth becomes deepened. (The image is getting reduced) The greatest depth is obtained by pressing the switch continuously until the depth no longer increases.
1-3-6. ENTER This function changes over the control function when you are controlling various functions with the trackball. It is used mainly when inputting a measurement, a preset, a review, and comments.
<Operation method> Example:Performing measurement (1)
Perform measurement.
(2)
Press the ENTER switch. →
The measurement caliper mark divides into two marks.
1-3-7. FLOW GAIN The flow gain adjusts the color sensitivity on the color Doppler images. [Remark] You can set the gain at startup by means of a preset, however depending upon the conditions of the probe, and so on, the gain may not always match the dB value displayed on the screen.
<Operation method> (1)
Turn the knob counterclockwise or clockwise. →
(2)
Turning the knob clockwise increases the image sensitivity, and vice-versa.
While observing an image, adjust the sensitivity to a suitable level.

1-3-8. FOCUS The FOCUS function converges the ultrasound beam to make a clearer image. A focal point can be changed when the ultrasound beam is transmitted. B mode image has tansmitting points F1 to F16 that divide the maximum diagnostic distance in the distance direction into sixteen parts. You can set the focus at up to any four of these points. （Some probes have tansmitting points from F1 to F8.) In the case of an M mode image, one optimum focal point is set near the center of the display range. (The display range varies with the display depth and the M-WINDOW.) The above also applies when only an M mode image is displayed. In the case of a B/D mode display, one focal point is set according to the sample volume. (Only when you set the Auto) Also, when an M mode image or a D mode image in a B/* mode display is frozen, you can perform multi-stage focus setting. [Remark] You cannot set all focal points to OFF. One points is always set as a focal point.
<Operation method> Select the auto focus or the manual focus on the menu. For details, refer to Section 5. “Touch panel”. (1)
Press the FOCUS switch. →
(2)
The transmission focus position can be set.
Using the trackball, move the transmission focus position. →
Rolling the trackball up moves the transmission focus position to the shallow depth point, and rolling the trackball down moves the transmission focus position to the deep depth point.
[Remark] When focusing at two or more points, you can change the distance between the focal points by using rotary encoder 4. [Remark] The focus position can not go outside the displayed depth in AUTO focus. [Remark] After changing the focus position to any place in AUTO focus, changing the depth with the DEPTH/RANGE switch changes the focus position to the optimum position according to the changed depth. [Remark] In Manual focus, the focus position can go to the maximum depth that the probe has. It is also possible to change the setting so that the changing the depth does not change the focus position.
Note If you set multiple focus points, that results in obtaining an image with high resolution, but decreasing the frame rate. Select the optimum setting so as to suit the desired body part while checking the acoustic power index.
