Before You Start Before you turn on the system, make sure that the installation has been approved by a qualified electrician or by hospital safety personnel. Read the battery support warnings (warnings with BS numbers) in the Battery Support System section of the bk3500 User Guide.
Turning System On and Off When you turn the system on or off, you must give the system enough time to save and recover open files and unsaved data. Otherwise, a serious system failure may occur that requires technical support. Make sure the battery is charged. (If it is not, plug in the imaging system to use it or to charge the battery.)
Figure 2-1. The power button on the scan engine.
To turn on: Press the power button once, then wait until startup screen disappears. If the battery is empty, it is not necessary to turn off the imaging system. Plug the system into a power outlet to recharge the battery while you run on power from the mains power supply. To turn off: Make sure system is running. Press the power button once. Caution BS-c2 Never shut down a system with a battery module simply by unplugging it from the wall. To preserve battery power, shut down the system properly.
