Warnings and Cautions 0

When replacing spare parts on the SONOLINE G20 ultrasound system always observe
the safety cautions and warnings.

WARNING The G20 system contains hazardous voltages that can range from
90 VAC to 264 VAC and cause serious injury or death.
¹ Only authorized service personnel are permitted to
remove protective covers and access the energized com-
ponents of this system.

WARNING The weight of the G20 system represent lifting hazards.

The use of improper lifting methods or lifting in an awkward man-
ner can cause serious injury.
¹ Transport instructions for the G20 system are provided
on the shipping container. The G20 system is not
designed to be lifted once removed from its shipping
container. Transport the G20 system by rolling it on its
casters.
¹ The US National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health publishes design guidelines indicating that items
weighing greater than 15.9 kg (35 lb.) must be lifted by
two people or mechanical lifting aids. Items weighing
greater than 34 kg (75 lb.) must be lifted only with
mechanical lifting equipment.

CAUTION When replacing fasteners, use fasteners of the correct length.

¹ Using the wrong length fasteners may cause damage to
underlying equipment.

CAUTION The G20 system contains components that are sensitive to dam-
age by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
¹ Observe all ESD protective procedures and use ESD pro-
tective equipment including an ESD wrist strap when the
protective covers are removed from the system.

Right-Side Panel 0

There are two configurations for the right-side panel, one for the LC system and one for
the SLC system. The LC system is configured with a transducer “parking” port; the SLC
system is configured with a transducer sector port. The right-side panel is a spare part
that ships from the factory configured for the LC system. For SLC systems, the “parking”
port cover must be removed and replaced with the sector port cover. The sector port cover
components are shipped along with the right-side panel.
The right-side panel procedures assume that right and left-side panels are attached to the
system.

Install the Right-Side Panel 0

The installation of the right-side panel on a G20 LC system differs from that of an SLC
system, because the LC and the SLC use different port covers. For an LC system, install
the right-side panel as it is assembled from the factory. For an SLC system, the LC “park-
ing” port cover must be removed and replaced with the SLC sector port cover compo-
nents.

1. Align the right-side panel four captive screws with their matching mounting holes and
secure the captive screws.
2. Couple the right-side panel to the system.
