3.4 Connecting a Probe
Tap [Freeze] to freeze an image or turn off the system power
before connecting or disconnecting a probe. Failure to do
so may result in system or probe failure.
When connecting or disconnecting a probe, place it in the
proper position to prevent the probe from falling off or
becoming damaged.
Only use probes provided by Mindray. Aftermarket probes
may result in damage or cause a fire.
3.4.1 Connecting a Probe
The probes, cables and connectors should be in
proper operating order and free from surface
defects, cracks and peeling. Otherwise, this may
lead to electrical shock.
1. Keep the cable end of the transducer to the right side of the system; insert the connector into the
system port, then press in fully
2. Toggle the locking lever to the left position.
3. Position the probe properly to avoid it being treaded on or becoming wrapped around other
devices. DO NOT allow the probe head to hang free.
Before inserting the connector into the probe port, inspect the connector pin. If the pin
is bent, do not use the probe until it has been inspected/repaired/replaced.
