WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, inspect
the USB cable for damage. Do not
use the USB cable if it is damaged.
Caution: To avoid exceeding emissions limits,
use only the USB cable provided by
SonoSite. Other USB cables may
exceed emissions limits.
To avoid damaging the USB cable,
do not excessively bend or twist it.
Bending or twisting the USB cable
can cause a failure or intermittent
operation.
To avoid disconnecting the USB
cable, maintain slack in the cable,
and do not pull on the remote
control.
WARNING: Before using the remote control,
make sure that it is connected to
your ultrasound system and not to
another system. (See “To connect
by Bluetooth technology.”) Press a
button on the remote control, and
make sure that the ultrasound
system responds as expected.
To avoid [[what?]], keep the
ultrasound system at least 8 inches
(20 cm) from the patient when
using Bluetooth technology. The
Bluetooth dongle can [[cause what
problem?]]
To avoid injury, make sure to
disconnect the remote control after
use.

designedformobiledevices.
WARNING: Using only one remote control per
ultrasound system is the best way to
ensure that you do not
inadvertently connect to another
system.
If you choose to use multiple
ultrasound systems with one
remote control in emergency
settings, make sure to set up your
remote control before entering the
workplace. Plan enough time to
train and connect it.
To avoid injury caused by
connecting to--and consequently
controlling--the wrong system,
always disconnect the remote
control from the ultrasound system
after use. See “To disconnect the
remote control” on page 5.
WARNING: To avoid contamination after
encasing the remote control in a
sterile sheath, inspect the sterile
sheath for holes or tears.
Some transducer sheaths contain
natural rubber latex and talc, which
can cause allergic reactions in some
individuals.
