Removing the Battery Pack

Caution: When removing the battery pack, be careful not to pull or otherwise strain the wires in
the cable connecting the battery to the ultrasound system because doing so can damage the
battery pack and the ultrasound system.
To remove the battery pack:
1. With the storage bin cover removed, locate the battery pack within the recess on the right
rear panel. The battery pack is attached to the ultrasound system by a connector at the
end of a cable. The battery is also secured within the recess by hook and loop fastener.
2. Grasp the battery pack within the recess and gently pull the battery pack to release the
hook and loop fastener.
3. Support the connector housing attached to the battery cable and pull the connector straight
out of the connector receptacle to disconnect the battery.

Installing a Battery Pack

Caution: There is only one correct orientation for attaching the battery connector. Do not force
or twist the connector because doing so can damage the battery pack and the ultrasound
system.
To install a battery pack:
1. Orient the battery pack connector at the end of the battery cable with the receptacle on the
ultrasound system, located within the battery recess. Firmly push them together.
2. Turn the battery pack so that the hook and loop fastener on the battery pack is toward the
battery recess in the right rear panel, and press the battery pack into the recess,
connecting the hook and loop fastener on the battery pack with the hook and loop fastener
in the recess.
3. Position the battery wires so they are neatly stored within the battery recess.
To replace the storage bin cover:
Working from the lower left toward the upper right of the storage bin cover, align the

fastener pins with the pin receptacles and press to snap the storage bin cover into place on
the right rear panel.
