1.3. Preliminary information about iScan mini – a portable ultrasound scanner
iScan mini is an ultrasound scanner intended for diagnostics of farm animals. Its main uses include diagnostics
of the reproductive tract, conrming and monitoring of pregnancy, determination of the sex of the foetus,
examination of the lungs and measurement of backfat thickness. The ultrasound scanner is permanently con-
nected to a broad-spectrum linear rectal probe. The device is equipped with cutting edge technologies to
facilitate your everyday work. A precise automatic follicle measurement will speed up work, and WiFi will allow
easy sharing of photos and videos from the examination. We are sure that iScan mini will become an indispen-
sable tool in your work.

5. Getting started
5.1. How to charge the batteries
iScan mini is powered by a Li-ion 14.4 V 2.25 Ah rechargeable battery. The battery has an internal thermal fuse
protecting it against overheating during charging.
Mascot charger, type 2440, is intended only to charge the batteries of the iScan mini ultrasound scanner. It is
adopted to the mains 110-240 V / 60 Hz.
Charging duration: 3 hours.
Operating time: 3h 40 min when fully charged.
In order to charge the battery, connect the charger to the mains, and the plug to the battery in accordance
with the diagram:
A colour diode on the charger housing indicates the battery charging level. The red colour means that the bat-
tery is discharged, the green colour means that the battery is charged. When the green diode of the charger
starts ashing, it means that the battery is fully charged and the charger is in stand-by mode.
Warning! The battery can be charged only with the charger supplied by the manufacturer.
Warning! — It is forbidden to perform any unauthorised repair of the charger nor
to dismantle the device.
User safety and reliability of the device require that the charger not be used in hu-
mid and wet places.
Before you start using the charger, always check if its main components, including
the cables, are not damaged.
Attention! If any damage is detected, disconnect the device from the mains immediately and replace
the damaged part with a new one, by contacting an authorised service centre.

5.1.1. Safety measures for handling a Li-Ion battery pack
• Never dismantle the battery pack which forms an integrated unit.
• Never short-circuit contacts in the battery pack casing using metal items.
• Do not throw battery packs into the fire nor heat them up.
• Never expose the battery packs to mechanical impact. Do not throw them.
• If you notice electrolyte leakage, stop using the battery pack immediately.
• Never allow liquid to penetrate the battery pack, it may cause a sudden temperature rise and a
danger.
• Battery packs should not be left in high ambient temperature, for example, inside a car directly
exposed to sunlight, or near a source of heat. Failure to follow these principles can cause leakage
of electrolyte from the battery and its damage or shorten its service life.
5.2. How to connect the batteries to the ultrasound scanner
The battery is to be connected on the rear wall of the ultrasound scanner.
Before connecting, make sure that the contacts of the ultrasound scanner and the battery are dry.
In order to connect the battery, follow the gure below:

3. Use the LEFT / RIGHT arrows to adjust gain.
4. Conrm with the OK button.
9.1.2. Scanning depth adjustment
In order to adjust the scanning depth, use the LEFT / RIGHT arrows, where LEFT means scanning of shallowly
located organs, and RIGHT means scanning of deeply located organs.
The maximum scanning depth is 12 cm.
9.1.3. Focusing
The ultrasound scanner can change the level on which the ultrasound beam is focused the most. In order to
obtain the best eect, set the focusing level at the depth of the examined structure. In the focus the signal is
strongest, and image resolution is highest.
In order to set the beam focusing on the selected area, use the UP / DOWN arrows, where UP makes the beam
focus shallower, and DOWN — deeper.
9.1.4. Frequency
The probe connected to the iScan mini ultrasound scanner is a broadband, multi-frequency probe. Changing
the frequency of operation inuences the image resolution and the depth to which the ultrasounds penetrate
the body.
It is necessary to remember about the following principle:
1. Higher frequency = better resolution = lower ecient depth of scanning.
2. Lower frequency = worse resolution = higher ecient depth of scanning.
In order to change the frequency:
1. Open Menu and choose Frequency.
2. Use the UP / DOWN buttons to choose the most ecient frequency.
3. Conrm with the OK button.
