About the system
Accessories and peripherals The system supports various accessories and peripherals. See “Compatible accessories and peripherals” on page 241.
Preparing the system Turning on the system WARNINGS
Verify that the hospital supply voltage corresponds to the power supply voltage range. Plug the system only into a grounded hospital-grade outlet. Use only power cords provided by FUJIFILM SonoSite with the system.
Cautions
Do not use the system if an error message appears on the clinical monitor. Note the error code and turn off the system. Call FUJIFILM SonoSite or your local representative. When using AC power, position the system to allow easy access to disconnect it.
To turn on the system The system can be powered by the internal battery or by AC power. 1 If you are operating the system using AC power, connect the AC power cord to the stand, and then connect the AC power cord to a hospital-grade outlet. 2 Press the power button. The power button turns green when the system is ready for scanning. If the system does not maintain expected battery charge, or if the battery icon on the clinical monitor does not display the battery charge status, disconnect and reconnect the system to AC power. Connect the system to AC power to maintain battery charge, especially if the system will not be used for several days. To connect the system to AC power (battery charge maintenance) 1 Turn off the system. 2 Disconnect the system from AC power. Preparing the system
7
3 Check the battery switches; ensure that all three switches are depressed to the ʘ symbol, which is the ON position. Note
The system will not charge and maintain the batteries if the battery switches are depressed to the ·O symbol, which is the OFF position.
4 Reconnect the system to AC power. The battery charge indicator at the base of the stand blinks green, and the battery icon on the clinical monitor displays the battery charging state. To turn off the system Note
If the system appears unresponsive, wait several minutes before restarting it. Restarting the system while it is performing data-intensive background activities, such as transferring patient files, can result in loss of patient data. To power down an unresponsive system, press and hold the power button until the system shuts down. This procedure may take 5 seconds or longer.
Press the power button.
Adjusting the height and angle WARNINGS
Lock the wheels whenever the system is unattended or stationary. To avoid possible injury from an unexpected clinical monitor collapse during system transport, collapse the clinical monitor before system transport (see “To collapse the clinical monitor” on page 9).
To raise or lower the platform While pressing down the height-adjustment pedal, grasp both sides of the platform and push down or pull
up to the desired height. To lock a wheel Press down the lever on the wheel.
To unlock the wheel, press up on the bottom of the lever. To adjust the clinical monitor angle Grasping the clinical monitor on both sides, tilt or rotate it.
8
Preparing the system
To adjust the touch-panel angle Grasping the sides of the touch panel, pull it forward or push it backward to the desired angle.
To collapse the clinical monitor Always collapse the clinical monitor before system transport. 1 Adjust the touch panel angle to the lowest position. 2 Grasping the clinical monitor on both sides, align it squarely above the touch panel. 3 Fold the clinical monitor downward over the touch panel.
Figure 2-3 Clinical monitor collapsed for system transport
USB devices You can use the USB ports on the system for connecting devices such as a USB printer or a USB memory stick. (For a list of supported devices, see “System components and compatible accessories” on page 241. One of the USB ports at the back of the system is for DVR recording only. See “Ports” on page 24 and “DVR recording” on page 119.
USB memory sticks You can use a USB memory stick to export patient exams, import and export logs and setup configurations, and to import custom obstetric calculation tables. Note
Preparing the system
The system does not support software-encrypted USB memory sticks.
9
Cautions
To avoid damaging the USB memory stick and losing patient data from it, observe the following: Do not remove the USB memory stick or turn off the ultrasound system while the system is exporting. Do not bump or otherwise apply pressure to the USB memory stick while it is in a USB port on the ultrasound system. The connector could break. If the USB icon does not appear in the system status area on the clinical monitor, the USB memory stick may be defective or software-encrypted. Replace the USB memory stick.
To connect a USB memory stick for importing or exporting Insert the USB memory stick into a USB port (see “About the system” on page 5).
The USB memory stick is ready when the USB icon
appears onscreen.
To view information about the device, see “USB settings” on page 69. To disconnect a USB memory stick Disconnecting the USB memory stick while the system is exporting to it may cause the exported files to be corrupted or incomplete. 1 If exporting, wait at least five seconds after the USB animation icon
stops.
2 Remove the USB memory stick from the port.

General interaction Clinical monitor WARNINGS
FUJIFILM SonoSite recommends against using a monitor other than the clinical monitor provided by FUJIFILM SonoSite. Only the images presented on the system monitor are validated for the intended use of the device. Do not use a monitor connected through the external VGA for medical diagnosis.
The clinical monitor displays the ultrasound image as well as details about the exam and system status. 1

VGA video output WARNINGS
The VGA video output is intended for non-diagnostic use. To minimize risk of electrical shock, use only with medical-grade devices. To avoid applying unsafe voltage levels to the patient while a device is connected to the external VGA port, do not touch the ultrasound system and the patient simultaneously. For added protection, use an isolation transformer between the connecting device and AC power.
VGA video output resolution is 1280 x 800 at 60 Hz (non-interlaced), Reduced Blanking.
Touch panel The touch panel is where you adjust settings; select the exam type, transducer, and imaging mode; enter patient information; and more. As you adjust the image settings or controls, the results appear on the clinical monitor. When an image is frozen, the touch panel displays an outline of the image. You interact with the touch panel the same as with many other touchscreen devices: Swipe: Move your finger quickly across the panel. Faster than dragging. Drag: Move one or two fingers across the panel, usually to move an object from one location to another. Tap: Quickly touch the panel once; for example, to activate a control. Double-tap: Quickly touch the panel twice with one or more fingers. Pinch or spread: Slide two fingers together or apart on the panel. Use these gestures to perform these actions: Table 2-1: Gestures and actions Gesture
