The SiteStand does not roll in a straight line. How can I fix it?
The SiteStand most likely has a bent caster. It can sometimes be difficult to tell which caster is bent. If you lay it on its side and spin the wheels, you can identify the bent caster. Call SonoSite Technical Support for a free replacement caster.
My battery doesn't hold a charge, is the 180Plus/SonoHeart Elite functioning correctly?
To isolate a charging or a battery problem: Charge the battery overnight to guarantee a full charge. If it does not charge, the power supply (charger) is most likely at fault. If it doesn't charge completely, the battery contacts may be at fault. Look inside the battery cavity for any obstruction or bent contacts. If the battery discharges very quickly, the battery may be deteriorating and may need to be replaced.
Will SiteLink work on an older SonoSite 180 ultrasound system?
Yes, SiteLink will work with any system depending on the system software level. Press function and i to verify that the ARM version is 02.xx.xxx.xxx on the system. If it is not, call SonoSite Technical Support to arrange a software upgrade of your system at no charge.
Why doesn't the printer print when i use the print button on the 180Plus/SonoHeart Elite?
First, verify that the printer is selected by going into the setup menu and selecting the printer that you are currently using. Next, make sure that you are using the remote cable and that you have it routed correctly. Three cables should be connected to the system: the AC power cable, the remote cable, and the video cable. If you are not using the SiteStand, the remote cable (10 ft) should go from the system (remote control receptacle) to the back of the printer. If you are using the SiteStand, the cable (1 ft) should go from the back of the SiteStand to the back of the printer. Verify that the SiteStand is plugged in and the printer is turned on.
