Power ON / OFF the System

CAUTION:

To ensure the safe and effective operation of the system, you need to perform daily maintenance and checks. See the section 6.1 in the Operator’s Manual [Basic Volume] for the checklist.

CAUTION:

If the system begins to function improperly – immediately stop scanning. If the system continues to function improperly –shut down the system and contact Mindray Customer Service Department or sales representative. If you use the system in a persistent improper functioning state – you may harm the patient or damage the equipment.

Power ON

1. Connect the system to the power supply through the power adapter; or use the

batteries with sufficient capacity.

2. Press the power button to turn on the system and the power indicator is on in

green color. The power button is on the upper right corner of the system.

Power OFF

z To power off the system normally:

power button to restart quickly.

: To cancel the shutdown operation, click it to cancel the shutdown operation

and let the system return to the previous status.

z If you will not use the system for a long period of time, you shall:

1 Disconnect the power adapter;

2 Disconnect the mains power;

3 Turn off powers of all peripherals connected to the system.

z To shut down the system in a direct way if you cannot do it normally:

1 Only when you cannot shut down the system normally, you can directly shut it

down. Press and hold the power button for a long time and the system will

power off without displaying the [Shutdown Confirm] screen.
