Safe Practices
To minimize shock hazard, the equipment chassis must be connected to an electrical ground.
The system is equipped with a three-conductor AC power cable. This must be plugged into an approved
electrical outlet with safety ground. If an extension cord is used with the system, make sure that the total
current rating of the system does not exceed the extension cord rating.
The power outlet used for this equipment should not be shared with other types of equipment.
Both the system power cable and the power connector meet international electrical standards.

Probes
All the probes for the Voluson® 730Expert are designed and manufactured to provide trouble-free,
reliable service. To ensure this, correct handling of probes is important and the following points should
be noted:
•
Do not drop a probe or strike it against a hard surface, as this may damage the transducer elements,
acoustic lens, or housing.
•
Inspect the probe prior to each use for damage or degradation to the Housing, Cable strain relief,
Lens and Seal.
•
Do not use a cracked or damaged probe. In this event, call your field service representative
immediately to obtain a replacement.
•
Avoid pulling, pinching or kinking the probe cable, since a damaged cable may compromise the
electrical safety of the probe.
•
To avoid the risk of a probe accidentally falling, do not allow the probe cables to become entangled,
or to be caught in the machine's wheels.
•
Never immerse the probe connector or adapter into any liquid.
NOTE:
For detailed information on handling probes, refer to the Voluson® 730Expert Basic User Manual and
the care card supplied with the probe.
