the equipment power plug into the receptacle. Also, be sure to remove
the equipment power plug from the receptacle before disconnecting
the wire to avoid electrical shock.

2. Information concerning the functional earth terminal

( ):

Use of the functional earth terminal as protective earth is not allowed in

Europe. The system should be connected according to local
requirements.

3. Do not connect this system to outlets with the same circuit breakers and
fuses that control current to devices such as life-support systems. If this
system malfunctions and generates an overcurrent, or when there is an
instantaneous current at power ON, the circuit breakers and fuses of the
building’s supply circuit may be tripped.

service outlet of the system. For the connection procedures, contact your
TOSHIBA representative.

5. The service outlet of the main unit is intended solely for recommended
peripheral units. Do not connect devices other than recommended
peripheral units to the service outlet. Connecting devices other than those
recommended may cause the consumption current to exceed the power
capacity of the main unit, possibly resulting in malfunction.

6. Do not place any objects on top of the monitor. They may fall, causing
injury.

7. Do not allow fluids such as water to contact the system or peripheral

devices. Electric shock may result.

8. Do not handle the system with wet or moist hands. Electric shock may
result.

9. The monitor is a heavy unit. Two persons are required when mounting or
removing the monitor. If a single person performs this work, he or she may
get injured.

10. Be sure to turn OFF the power breaker, disconnect the mains plug from the
outlet, and wait at least 30 seconds before removing the covers of the main
unit and performing internal wiring or other work.

11. When discarding any part of this system, follow all applicable local

9. VCR RECORDING

Perform the following checks to ensure that the VCR is ready for recording and playback
(Code: H01).

<<Check procedure>>

The vertical and horizontal scales of a stored image are measured using the manual calibration function.

(1) Start the system and connect a body-surface transducer such as the PVT-375BT to the system.
Display a 2D-single image and set the DEPTH to 20 cm. Record the image on the VCR.

(2) Play back the recorded image. Using the manual calibration function, set a calibration marker 100
mm in length using the vertical scale as the reference and enter the length of the calibration marker
in the box on the right of [2D Distance]. Measurement becomes possible.

45
 No. 2Y730-502E*C

(3) Measure the distance corresponding to 10 graduations on the horizontal scale and confirm that the
error is within ±5% of the distance set on the vertical scale (95 mm to 105 mm).

(4) If the error is more than ±5%, set the calibration marker again carefully. If the error is still greater
than ±5%, check with the user whether the error is acceptable for the intended use. If the error is not
acceptable, instruct the user not to use the results.
