Initial Setup

WARNING: Do not tip the system in any direction more than 10 degrees. This action can cause
the system to tip over and create a risk for injury to the user or patient and damage to the
system.

actions can cause the system to tip over and create a risk for injury to the user or patient and

The ultrasound imaging system is initially unpacked and installed by a Siemens representative.
Your Siemens representative will verify the operation of the system. Any transducers,
documentation devices, accessories, and options delivered with your system are also
connected and installed for you.

Moving the System

WARNING: Preparations before moving the system are important to minimize potential damage
to sensitive components and to avoid safety hazards. Review the moving instructions before
moving the system.
WARNING: Do not park, or leave unattended, on a slope. Even when the rear brakes are
engaged, the system may slide down a ramp.
The ultrasound system is designed to be a mobile unit. Before moving the system to another
location, you must prepare for the move by powering off and securing the system.
