<p begin="00:00:25.632" end="00:00:28.547" style="s2">- [Voiceover] The Sonosite<br />S Series offers superb image</p>
<p begin="00:00:28.547" end="00:00:33.123" style="s2">quality in a compact and simple<br />to use ultrasound system.</p>
<p begin="00:00:33.123" end="00:00:35.704" style="s2">This short video will<br />demonstrate the system's</p>
<p begin="00:00:35.704" end="00:00:38.271" style="s2">key features and functions.</p>
<p begin="00:00:38.271" end="00:00:40.066" style="s2">For more in-depth information,</p>
<p begin="00:00:40.066" end="00:00:43.233" style="s2">please refer to the system user guide.</p>
<p begin="00:00:47.586" end="00:00:51.113" style="s2">The S Series operates<br />efficiently on either AC</p>
<p begin="00:00:51.113" end="00:00:52.582" style="s2">or battery power.</p>
<p begin="00:00:52.582" end="00:00:56.295" style="s2">To install the battery,<br />turn the system upside down.</p>
<p begin="00:00:56.295" end="00:00:59.234" style="s2">Place the battery into<br />the battery compartment.</p>
<p begin="00:00:59.234" end="00:01:03.323" style="s2">Push down on the cover until<br />the latch snaps into place.</p>
<p begin="00:01:03.323" end="00:01:06.225" style="s2">If the battery is being<br />installed for the first time</p>
<p begin="00:01:06.225" end="00:01:08.718" style="s2">it will need to be charged.</p>
<p begin="00:01:08.718" end="00:01:12.114" style="s2">To remove the battery, push<br />up on the locking lever</p>
<p begin="00:01:12.114" end="00:01:15.339" style="s2">and lift the battery from the compartment.</p>
<p begin="00:01:15.339" end="00:01:19.547" style="s2">Connect the power cord to<br />the system to use AC power.</p>
<p begin="00:01:19.547" end="00:01:23.055" style="s2">To turn the system on,<br />press the Power key.</p>
<p begin="00:01:23.055" end="00:01:27.836" style="s2">The system will power up<br />completely for use in 15 seconds.</p>
<p begin="00:01:27.836" end="00:01:31.677" style="s2">To connect a transducer,<br />insert the transducer connector</p>
<p begin="00:01:31.677" end="00:01:34.975" style="s2">with the latch up and rotated clockwise.</p>
<p begin="00:01:34.975" end="00:01:39.749" style="s2">Turn the latch counter-clockwise<br />and press the latch down.</p>
<p begin="00:01:39.749" end="00:01:42.686" style="s2">To remove the transducer,<br />pull the latch up</p>
<p begin="00:01:42.686" end="00:01:45.335" style="s2">and rotate it clockwise.</p>
<p begin="00:01:45.335" end="00:01:47.823" style="s2">On the back of the system<br />is an embedded mini-dock</p>
<p begin="00:01:47.823" end="00:01:50.597" style="s2">for connectivity and data transfer.</p>
<p begin="00:01:50.597" end="00:01:53.556" style="s2">There are ports for<br />Ethernet, digital video out,</p>
<p begin="00:01:53.556" end="00:01:55.554" style="s2">and two S-videos.</p>
<p begin="00:01:55.554" end="00:01:59.429" style="s2">There are also ports for an<br />audio jack, composite video,</p>
<p begin="00:01:59.429" end="00:02:03.961" style="s2">and nine-pin serial or<br />RS232 serial port, power,</p>
<p begin="00:02:03.961" end="00:02:05.461" style="s2">and two USB ports.</p>
<p begin="00:02:06.983" end="00:02:09.797" style="s2">On the right side of the<br />system there is an additional</p>
<p begin="00:02:09.797" end="00:02:13.838" style="s2">USB port and an audio jack for headphones.</p>
<p begin="00:02:13.838" end="00:02:16.568" style="s2">The USB ports can be<br />used for image storage</p>
<p begin="00:02:16.568" end="00:02:18.985" style="s2">and system software upgrades.</p>
<p begin="00:02:22.668" end="00:02:25.790" style="s2">The system control panel is simple to use.</p>
<p begin="00:02:25.790" end="00:02:28.490" style="s2">Many controls and features<br />are automated to simplify</p>
<p begin="00:02:28.490" end="00:02:32.826" style="s2">the user interface and<br />minimize the number of keys.</p>
<p begin="00:02:32.826" end="00:02:36.350" style="s2">The primary controls, or the<br />controls used most often,</p>
<p begin="00:02:36.350" end="00:02:38.186" style="s2">are located along the bottom edge</p>
<p begin="00:02:38.186" end="00:02:41.204" style="s2">of the image display screen.</p>
<p begin="00:02:41.204" end="00:02:44.310" style="s2">They secondary controls are<br />located along the left side</p>
<p begin="00:02:44.310" end="00:02:47.094" style="s2">of the ultrasound image display.</p>
<p begin="00:02:47.094" end="00:02:49.917" style="s2">In the lower middle of the<br />control panel is the touch pad</p>
<p begin="00:02:49.917" end="00:02:52.575" style="s2">which can be used to select, adjust,</p>
<p begin="00:02:52.575" end="00:02:55.335" style="s2">and move objects on the screen.</p>
<p begin="00:02:55.335" end="00:02:58.319" style="s2">The Select key is used to<br />make various choices depending</p>
<p begin="00:02:58.319" end="00:03:00.930" style="s2">upon the function that is activated.</p>
<p begin="00:03:00.930" end="00:03:04.072" style="s2">It is used to switch between<br />calipers for measurement,</p>
<p begin="00:03:04.072" end="00:03:07.239" style="s2">the zoom function, and the text forms.</p>
<p begin="00:03:11.759" end="00:03:15.154" style="s2">The first knob has multiple functions.</p>
<p begin="00:03:15.154" end="00:03:17.811" style="s2">When the system is in<br />imaging mode this knob</p>
<p begin="00:03:17.811" end="00:03:19.864" style="s2">controls the gain levels.</p>
<p begin="00:03:19.864" end="00:03:21.548" style="s2">There are three choices.</p>
<p begin="00:03:21.548" end="00:03:23.881" style="s2">Far, near, and overall gain.</p>
<p begin="00:03:25.144" end="00:03:28.123" style="s2">The system default is overall gain.</p>
<p begin="00:03:28.123" end="00:03:31.610" style="s2">To choose another gain setting,<br />push the knob to toggle</p>
<p begin="00:03:31.610" end="00:03:34.597" style="s2">between the gain settings.</p>
<p begin="00:03:34.597" end="00:03:38.022" style="s2">Near adjusts the gain<br />applied to the near field</p>
<p begin="00:03:38.022" end="00:03:39.105" style="s2">of the image.</p>
<p begin="00:03:40.227" end="00:03:44.394" style="s2">Far adjusts the gain applied<br />to the far field of the image.</p>
<p begin="00:03:45.250" end="00:03:48.702" style="s2">And overall adjusts the<br />overall gain applied</p>
<p begin="00:03:48.702" end="00:03:51.145" style="s2">to the entire image.</p>
<p begin="00:03:51.145" end="00:03:54.006" style="s2">When the system is in<br />Color Doppler Imaging mode,</p>
<p begin="00:03:54.006" end="00:03:56.408" style="s2">the first knob controls the overall gain</p>
<p begin="00:03:56.408" end="00:03:58.158" style="s2">of the color Doppler.</p>
<p begin="00:03:59.224" end="00:04:02.321" style="s2">When an image is frozen the<br />gain knob can also be used</p>
<p begin="00:04:02.321" end="00:04:05.139" style="s2">to review images in the seni buffer.</p>
<p begin="00:04:05.139" end="00:04:08.325" style="s2">Counter-clockwise and the<br />clockwise rotation of the knob</p>
<p begin="00:04:08.325" end="00:04:12.694" style="s2">scrolls backward and forward<br />through the stored images.</p>
<p begin="00:04:12.694" end="00:04:16.236" style="s2">The second knob is used for<br />adjustment of imaging depth.</p>
<p begin="00:04:16.236" end="00:04:19.109" style="s2">Turning the knob clockwise<br />increases the depth.</p>
<p begin="00:04:19.109" end="00:04:22.623" style="s2">Counter-clockwise decreases<br />the imaging depth.</p>
<p begin="00:04:22.623" end="00:04:25.032" style="s2">A beep sounds when the minimum or maximum</p>
<p begin="00:04:25.032" end="00:04:27.032" style="s2">of the range is reached.</p>
<p begin="00:04:28.377" end="00:04:31.071" style="s2">The Freeze button stops the live imaging</p>
<p begin="00:04:31.071" end="00:04:34.023" style="s2">and displays a frozen image.</p>
<p begin="00:04:34.023" end="00:04:37.331" style="s2">The Save button allows<br />you to save a frozen image</p>
<p begin="00:04:37.331" end="00:04:41.294" style="s2">to the internal storage of the system.</p>
<p begin="00:04:41.294" end="00:04:45.461" style="s2">Color turns color Doppler or<br />color power Doppler on and off.</p>
