Connecting the Probe
Probes can be connected at any time, regardless of whether the 
console is powered on or off. To ensure that the ports are not 
active, place the system in the image freeze condition.
To connect a probe:
1.  Place the probes carrying case on a stable surface and 
open the case.
2.  Carefully remove the probe and unwrap the probe cord.
3.  DO NOT allow the probe head to hang free. Impact to the 
probe head could result in irreparable damage. Use the 
integrated cable management hook to wrap the cord.
Inspect the probe before and after each use for damage or 
degradation to the housing, strain relief, lens, seal and 
connector. DO NOT use a transducer which appears 
damaged until functional and safe performance is verified. A 
thorough inspection should be conducted during the 
cleaning process.
4.  Turn the connector locking handle to the left.
5.  Align the connector with the probe port and carefully push 
into place.
Before inserting the 3CRF or S1-5 probe connector into the 
probe port, inspect the probe connector pin. If the pin is 
bent, do not use the probe until it has been inspected and 
repaired/replaced by a GE Service Representative.
6.  Turn the connector locking handle to the right to secure the 
probe connector.
7. Carefully position the probe cord so it is free to move, yet 
not dragging on the floor.
CAUTIONFault conditions can result in electric shock hazard. Do not 
touch the surface of probe connectors which are exposed 
when the probe is removed. Do not touch the patient when 
connecting or disconnecting a probe.
