6 Controlling the ultrasound system
Voice commands
Youcancontroltheultrasoundsystemby
speakingcommandsintoamicrophone
connectedtotheremotecontrol.Beforeusing
voicecommands,youtraintheremotecontrolto
recognizeyourvoice.
Wheneveryouconnectthemicrophone,the
remotecontrolisautomaticallyreadyforvoice
commands.Itbeepsthreewarningbeepsifnot
trained.
Iftheremotecontroldoesnotrespondtovoice
commandsduringanultrasoundprocedure,use
thebuttonsinstead.
Seealso“Reviewingthecinebuffer”onpage 7.
To train the remote control
Youcantraintheremotecontrolwithcustom
phrasesinsteadofthe defaultphrasesinthis
procedure.See“Usingcustomphrases”on
page 7.
Allowenoughtimefortraining.Ifyouare
interruptedwhiletraining,disconnectthe
microphoneandbeginagain.
1 Setuptheequipmentandenvironment:
a Inaquietarea,turn
ontheremotecontrol.
(See“Turningonpowerandchargingthe
battery”onpage 3.)
b Connectthemicrophonecabletothe
remotecontrol.
Themicrophoneindicatorturnson.Ifyou
hearthreewarningbeeps,ignorethem.
c Attachthemicrophonetoyourclothing,
nearyourmouth.
d Ifyouwearamaskduringultrasound
procedures,putonamask.
2 Starttrainingmode:Press formorethan
threeseconds,andrelease.Iftheremote
controlbeepsthreetimes,clearthememory
bypressing formorethanthreeseconds.
Youhearalongbeep,andthemicrophone
indicatorstartsblinking.(Iftheseresponses
donotoccur,turn
offtheremotecontroland
restarttheprocedure.)
Theremotecontrolbeepsabouteverytwo
secondsintrainingmode.
3 Sayandthenrepeateachphraseinthe
followingtable,inorder,andwaitforthe
response.
Sayingeachphraseinorderensuresthatitis
associatedwiththecorrectresponsefrom
the
ultrasoundsystem.
WARNING:
To avoid patient injury during the
ultrasound procedure, use buttons
if the ultrasound system does not
respond to voice commands.
To avoid breaking the sterile field
when using voice commands,
always test them before using the
remote control in an ultrasound
procedure. See “To test the voice
commands” on page 7.
WARNING:
To avoid unexpected responses
from the increase-depth and freeze
buttons, disconnect the
microphone if you are interrupted
while training, and then restart the
training.
