What are the Safety Instructions?
1. The user may notice that a button press may not actuate the desired function. Usually by pressing the key again, the device will respond as expected.
2. If a button has no response, the menu function may be accessible through the use of the control wheel.
3. If none of the above steps can be performed, discontinue use and contact a GE Healthcare Service Representative.
