Because of the limited access to cabinets and equipment in the
field, placing people in awkward positions, GE has limited the
lifting weight for one person in the field to 16 KG (35 LBS).
Anything over 16 KG (35 LBS) requires 2 people.
Have two people available to deliver and unpack the Vivid T8/
Vivid T8 Pro.
Attempts to move the Ultrasound system considerable
distances or on an incline by one person could result in injury
or damage or both.
Explosion Warning
DO NOT operate the equipment in an explosive atmosphere.
Operation of any electrical equipment in such an environment
constitutes a definite safety hazard.

Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, ONLY
install GE approved parts. DO NOT perform any unauthorized
modification of the equipment.
Ensure that the Ultrasound system is turned off and unplugged
Wait for at least 20 seconds for capacitors to discharge as
there are no test points to verify isolation. The white light on the
