Using AC power and charging the system
The battery charges when the system is connected to the AC power supply. A fully discharged battery recharges
in less than five hours.
The system can run on AC power and charge the battery if AC power is connected to the system.
The system can run on battery power for up to 12 hours, depending on the imaging mode and the WIFI
intensity. When running on battery power, the system may not restart if the battery is low. To continue, connect
the system to AC power.
WARNING:
If users in the United States connect the adaptor to a 240V supply system, the equipment shall be
connected to a center‐tapped single phase supply circuit.
Turning the system on or off
Before you begin using the BMV Ultrasound Scanner, make sure you have the scanner, and also your smart device
with the BMV Ultrasound App installed on it.

Preparing transducers
WARNING:
While every attempt has been made to make the probe as rugged as possible the crystal
array remains vulnerable and should be protected from knocks. Even a small knock against
a hard object can cause damage to the probe elements situated behind the thin rubber
coating on the probe face. The probe has a protective sheath covering the length of cable
subject to greatest wear and flexing. Any damage to this sheath or the rest of the cable
should be repaired before further use to prevent moisture ingress that will rapidly damage
the probe. The probe should be checked regularly for such damage.
Intended uses
The system transmits ultrasound energy into various parts of the veterinary patient’s body to obtain ultrasound
images as follows.
Obstetrical Imaging Applications:
You can assess the fetal anatomy, viability, estimated fetal weight, gestational age, amniotic fluid, and
surrounding anatomical structures.
Gynecology and Infertility Imaging Applications:
You can assess the uterus, ovaries, adnexa, and surrounding anatomical structures.

the best.
Imaging modes
Imaging modes available depend on the transducer and exam type.
2D imaging
2D is the systemʹs default imaging mode. The system displays echoes in two dimensions by assigning a brightness
level based on the echo signal amplitude. To achieve the best image quality, properly adjust the screen brightness,
gain, depth, and viewing angle. Also, use a suitable optimization setting and exam type.
To display the 2D image
• Turn on the system.
• Tap B/M Mode to select the image mode
• Adjust the image as needed.
