Page 39 Vivid i n Battery Safety NOTE: The Vivid i n portable ultrasound scanner is supplied with a dummy battery case, and a lithium ion battery in the battery bay, as standard. The lithium ion battery provides power when an AC power source is not available. Lithium ion batteries last longer than conventional batteries and do not require replacement as often.
Page 40 • When charging the Vivid i n lithium ion battery on an external charger, since the battery in fact forms one of the four legs of the scanner, removing it will leave the unit standing unbalanced. For this reason, the dummy battery should be kept, so it may be inserted in position to provide stability to the scanner while the lithium ion battery is being charged.
Page 41 1-4-4 Vivid i n External Labels In addition to the labels described in the previous section, additional labels may be found on the Vivid i n ultrasound unit, as described in the following sections: • Rating Labels section, see below.
