Switch off the system
When the ultrasound system is switched off, the system
performs an automatic shutdown sequence. It is recommended
to perform a full shutdown at least once per week. This will
prevent extreme memory fragmentation, which might cause
some computer slowdown.
Shutdown
1. Press the on/off button on the top left of the control panel.
The Exit dialogue window is displayed.
Figure 3-15. The Exit dialogue window
The system can be switched off into one of the three states:
• Shutdown: the entire system is shut down. Full
shutdown is recommended if the system is not intended
to be used for a whole day or longer.
• Standby mode: In Standby mode most of the system is
powered down, but a certain portion of the system
remains energized. Standby mode allows a shorter
reboot time when the system is used on a daily basis or
moved from one place to another.
• Transportation mode: When AC power is interrupted,
the main screen and keyboard are powered down. The
touch panel and the rest of the system is still powered
by an internal battery. When AC power is resumed, the
system will turn ON in less than 5 seconds (‘Using
Transportation mode’ on page 3-51).
