To test the voice commands
1 Set up the equipment and environment:
a Turn on the ultrasound system and the
remote control.
b Connect the following:
• The microphone to the remote control
• The remote control to the ultrasound
system (See "Connecting the remote
control" on page 4.)
c Put on any garments, such as a mask or
gown, that will be between your mouth
and the microphone during ultrasound
procedures.
d Attach the microphone to your clothing,
near your mouth and where positioned
during ultrasound procedures (for
example, under the gown).
2 Say each phrase that you used to train the
remote control, and make sure that the
ultrasound system responds as expected.
If the ultrasound system does not respond as
expected, retrain the remote control, or use the
buttons. See also "Troubleshooting" on page 9.
Using custom phrases
You can train the remote control with your own
phrases instead of the suggested phrases. In some
environments, the remote control responds best
to custom phrases. If you train the remote control
with custom phrases, make sure to say them in
order. Phrases do the following:
Phrase 1 Decreases depth
Phrase 2 Decreases gain
Phrase 3 Increases gain (live image),
reviews the cine buffer (frozen image)
Phrase 4 Increases depth (live image),
reviews the cine buffer (frozen image)
Phrase 5 Freezes (or unfreezes) the image
Phrase 6 Saves the image
Choose phrases that are easy to remember, sound
different from each other, and sound different
from other phrases used during ultrasound
procedures. Longer phrases typically work better
than shorter phrases because they contain more
sound information. Also, try to vary the length of
phrases.
Reviewing the cine buffer
When the image is frozen, you can review the
cine buffer by using the buttons and voice
commands that adjust the gain on a live image.
To review the cine buffer
1 Freeze the image.
2 Do any of the following:
• (Buttons) Press
or
to move backward.
• (Voice commands) Say the increase‐gain
command to move forward. Say the
decrease‐gain command to move
backward.
To return to the live image, unfreeze the image.
Using multiple ultrasound
systems or remote controls
Using only one remote control per ultrasound
system is the best way to ensure that you do not
inadvertently connect to another system or
remote control.

device:

always disconnect the remote control from the
