Wireless Network Connections

(Supplement to System Set Up, Chapter 3, Instructions for Use)

(Requires the wireless option license)

The ultrasound system can send data, such as studies, images, and clips, to a network location
over a wireless network.

Use the system presets to configure wireless network connections.

Wireless

When the ultrasound system is connected to a wireless network, the system displays an icon
indicating the connection to the wireless network and the signal strength on the status bar.

Note: Siemens recommends connecting the ultrasound system to wireless networks that use only
the 5 GHz frequency bandwidth to reduce potential radio interference from the 2.4 GHz frequency
bandwidth.

Approved Wireless Adapters

Caution: Use of wireless adapters not tested for use and approved by Siemens can damage the

ultrasound system. Do not connect any wireless adapters to the system except the wireless
adapters listed below.

Note: Use of an unapproved wireless adapter may cause loss of data transferred over a wireless
network.

The following wireless adapters have been tested for use and approved by Siemens.

 Linksys AE1000

 ASUS USB-N53

For information on the transmission and reception frequencies used by the wireless adapter,
refer to the manufacturer's operating instructions included with the wireless adapter.

You must abide by the regulatory requirements of your country to use a wireless adapter. Refer
to the manufacturer's operating instructions for information regarding certified use of the
wireless adapter in your country.

6 / 18 Supplement to User and Reference Manuals

Connecting the Wireless Adapter to the System

Caution: Maintain a distance of at least 25 cm of radius between the wireless adapter and

possible sources of interference. Possible sources of interference can be other medical devices
and systems, including devices and systems in compliance with CISPR emission standards.

Caution: Ultrasound systems operate in the range of radio frequencies (RF) and are susceptible

to electromagnetic interference generated by other RF energy sources. To prevent this
interference, increase the distance between the ultrasound system and the interfering RF energy
source.

Siemens recommends connecting the wireless adapter to the leftmost USB port on the
Input/Output panel of the ultrasound system.
