Attaching and removing the mini-dock WARNING:
To avoid the risk of electrical shock to the patient, do not touch the ungrounded connectors on the back of the mini-dock while simultaneously touching a patient.
Caution:
To avoid damaging the mini-dock, do not perform high current grounding impedance testing involving this part. Accessible metal of the mini-dock is not protectively earthed. For an explanation on the grounding of the mini-dock, see SonoSite Technical Bulletin 003/06 at www.sonosite.com. Select Support and Service and then select your system type. To avoid damaging equipment, remove mini-dock from system prior to transportation.
Attach mini-dock
Ensure that the ultrasound system is turned off. Connecting the system and mini-dock while the power is on may cause the mini-dock to function improperly. 2 Slide the mini-dock feet under the ultrasound system, and firmly press the mini-dock into the system connector. The mini-dock is correctly attached when no gap is between the system and mini-dock. Note: If at any time the ultrasound system loses connectivity, turn off the system and reattach the minidock and system. Always verify that the mini-dock and system are correctly attached after changing a transducer. When you change a transducer, the mini-dock may loosen.
