Troubleshooting

CAUTION
Do not unplug the system from the wall outlet until the system is completely off. If you
unplug your system before the shutdown message appears, you will have to wait longer than
usual to use your system the next time you turn it on. You may also corrupt files, which can
result in an inoperative system or the loss of patient data.
Periodically clean the external surfaces of a device with a soft cloth. Difficult stains may be
removed with a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent solution.
