What should I do if SiteLink does not connect?

If a connection is not established, verify the following: The SonoSite ultrasound system is turned on and that the ARM version of the system software is 02.XX.XXX.XXX or later. The SonoSite ultrasound system is properly installed in the SiteStand. The SiteStand has AC power.The SiteStand is properly connected to the PC. To connect the host PC and the docking station: Connect the null-modem serial cable between the RS-232 serial port (DB-9) on the host PC and the RS-232C communication port (DB-9) on the SiteStand.

My battery doesn't hold a charge, is the SonoSite iLook system 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 the battery discharges very quickly, the battery may be deteriorating and may need to be replaced.



Is it possible to control a B&W printer from the iLook system?

Unfortunately there is no print control from the iLook system to a B&W printer. It is still possible to print using the Composite video out from either an iLook stand or an iLook table dock. The print button on the front of the printer is used for the print control.



Why does the SonoSite iLook system battery appear to discharge so quickly?

The iLook system is intended to be used for only a limited time with the battery only. The system battery is expected to last for no more than 20 minutes of continuous use.
