Preparing the Console for Intrahospital Transport
Unplugging the power cord automatically activates battery operation.
When ready for transport, unplug the power cord, and wind it around
the cord wrap.
The Console can be transported on its cart or removed from its cart
and transported separately. To remove the Console from the cart, first
disengage the Console latch (located on the bottom rear of the cart) by
lifting and then pulling the latch handle. Lift the Console by its side
handles, with one person on each side, clear of the cart. Place the
Console on the floor.
Drivelines and driveline connectors should be protected from tension
during transport. Roll the Console carefully to avoid kinking or
disconnecting the driveline.
To carry the Console over obstacles, grasp the side handles, with one
person on each side, and lift.
