First let us look at the system from the front. Select the highlighted areas  on the picture below to view more information about the Sytem Front. You can follow along with the narrator to view the components and features. Select from the tabs below to see the locking positions. To set the wheel locking mechanism for the rear wheels to swivel and the front ones to be locked, Lift the center section of the front bumper from underneath firmly until the front wheels are locked in a forward position, using the top of your foot (highest position for the front bumper). To allow all 4 wheels to be unlocked and swivel, Lift the center section of the front bumper from underneath firmly until it clicks once, using the top of your foot (middle position for the front bumper). To engage the brakes so that none of the wheel move at all, Press the center section of the front bumper down firmly with your foot until the brakes lock into place (lowest position of the front bumper). This system has a removable washable filter.The air filter must be cleaned on a regular basis  to maintain proper system cooling.The air filter should be checked weekly and cleaned as needed. The following are the steps on how to clean the filter.The system MUST be powered down to clean the filter so as not to receive an electrical shock.

Step 2HTMLLocate the vent cover on the right side of the system. Step 3HTMLInsert your index fingers in each recessed opening on the vent cover. Step 4HTMLPush your index fingers toward each other and pull the vent cover away from the system. Step 5HTMLSlide the air filter from the system. Step 6HTMLRinse the air filter with running water and allow the filter to completely dry. Caution: Do not insert a wet filter as this can damage the system Step 7HTMLReplace the air filter into the tray, positioning the filter flat side down, with the angled corners fitting into the back of the tray. The filter will fit into the back corners of the tray only if the filter is positioned flat side down. Step 8HTMLOrient the clean, dry air filter with the flat side down and slide the air filter back into the system. Step 9HTMLReplace the vent cover. Step 10HTMLPlug the power cord into the power outlet. Floating control panel allows infinite adjustments for operator comfort in standing and sitting positions.

Ergonomics Video Ergonomics Video   Articulating Arm Video Articulating Arm Video The fully articulating arm allows transition of the monitor for optimal ergonomic positioning toward, away and side to side .The arm swivels left to right in approximately 130 degrees.  The arm locks for transport in two places:  It locks at the top and the bottom which allows for full flexibility.   The Acuson SC2000 system has three a patented micropinless transducer connectors for array transducers. These can be seen across the front.There are three active ports. The system also has 2 parking ports on either side of the active prots.The port for continuous wave transducer can be found underneath the transducer ports.The benefit of the micropinless transducers is a decrease in the noise-to-signal ratio.The parking ports on the system allows you to have your 2 extra transducers plugged into the system at any time.

To connect an array transducer: Hold the transducer connector with the cable extending upward from the connector. Step 2HTMLInsert the connector into the system port and turn the lock on the transducer connector clockwise until it locks in position. This secures the connector in position and ensures the best possible contact. Step 3HTMLTo disconnect a transducer, turn the lock counterclockwise in the housing and then firmly grasp the transducer connector and carefully remove it from the system port. Step 4HTMLPlace the transducer in the transducer holder.
