3. Third Power button press powers on the component normally.
• This restart behavior also applies if overheating oc
curs when a component or system is in
maintenance mode. Maintenance mode is reserved for use by Intuitive Surgical service
personnel, so users generally do not encounter this situation.
5.3 Startup Sequence
During the startup sequence, a system integrity test is performed. As part of this test, the
master controllers and all Patient Cart arms that are not stowed perform a self-test. The
masters move to their start position and must arrive there for the system to work. If a master is
impeded somehow, simply move it by hand to free it and it will move to its start position. The
instrument arms of the Patient Cart fully extend and perform a short mechanical integrity test,
if no cannula is installed and they are not in stow position (see 5.5 Stow Position on page 5-7).
If an arm bumps into something during the test, use the port clutch button to move the arm
clear of the obstacle. When clear, press and release the port clutch button to enable the test to
resume.
Once the system integrity test is successfully completed, the arm LEDs (of all arms not stowed)
will be lit white.
Note: During the startup sequence, do not put your head or other objects in the stereo
viewer. Do not activate any of the da Vinci Si System controls, including the clutch
buttons, footswitches, etc. While most button-presses will be ignored during the startup
sequence, some may cause a non-recoverable fault, which will mean that you will have
to restart the system. The Emergency Stop feature is available during startup if needed.
Once the system beeps, you may interact with the system controls.
Note: If the system detects a mounted sterile adapter, instrument, or cannula before
startup, the Patient Cart arms will not move during startup. This is a feature that is
designed to allow the system to stay safely connected to a patient during the startup
sequence.
Note: Instruments should be removed when starting the system, as long as this is
clinically acceptable.
