5. What is the difference between Backup and Send To in iStation?


Backup maintains database structure on the destination drive which means the data can be restored into iStation,
however, may not be able to be viewed on a PC. Moreover, if DICOM option is installed, Backup can be used to
create DICOM DIR disc.
Send To converts data into JPG, BMP, or AVI format for viewing on a PC, or to send data in DICOM format to a
DICOM server, DICOM printer, or external media. Send To can also output images to a video printer. Converted
images cannot be restored back to the ultrasound machine.
Backup is the recommended method for daily data backup.

6. How do I backup user presets?


Press Setup key  Manage Settings and click on Export All. Plug in a USB flash drive and select it. Type in a
file name, such as “preset backup”, in the File column, and then click on OK to save it. Keep the USB flash drive
in a safe place.

disinfection procedures.

12. What is the battery charge time?


When the M7 is connected to AC power and turned off, it takes approximately 2 to 3 hours to fully charge the
batteries.

13. How to care for batteries:


• Mindray recommends connecting the M7 to AC power to keep the batteries fully charged at all times.
• Avoid exhausting the batteries.
• Take the batteries out if they will not be used for a long time (more than one week).
• Do not use two batteries with a big discrepancy in power capacity.
• In case the batteries need replacing, replace both of the batteries at the same time.

14. How do I setup the digital video printer?


Press Setup key  Peripheral Preset  Printer tab  Printer Service tab. Highlight Digital B&W Print or
Digital Color Print on the Service Name list, and then select the printer on the Printer drop-down list in

the Print key, on the left side, and then highlight the Digital Print under Print tab on the right side. Click on
Save to save the changes.

15. How do I setup a text/graphic (report) printer?


Press Setup key  Peripheral Preset  Printer tab  Printer Service tab. Highlight Report Print on the
Service Name list, and then select the printer on the Printer drop-down list in Property area. If the printer is not
listed there, you need to install the driver.
Verify the printer installation: Go to iStation, select a study, and click on Report. Click on Print from the report
screen to print the report.

16. Why is the video printer not printing when I press the Print button?
Check what function Print key is assigned to by pressing Setup key  System Preset  Key Config tab. For
instance, if it is assigned to DIGITAL B&W PRINT, it will not print on an analog video printer.

17. How do I setup DICOM?
Please refer to DICOM chapter of the operator’s manual (basic volume) for instruction.

18. How do I expedite the DICOM send time?


Data transferring speed is limited by network performance. You may consult your IT department about it. There
are some settings on the M7 which can reduce the file size, thus shorten the DICOM sending time.
• Setup Compression Mode and Compress Ratio in Setup  Network Preset  DICOM Service.
• Set Max Framerate to 35 or lower in Setup  Network Preset  DICOM Service.
• Set the Clip Length, Prospective Cine Length and Retrospective Cine Length as short as you can in
Setup  System Preset  General tab.

19. How can I have the M7 send a study to a DICOM server automatically at the end of the
study?
In Setup  System Preset  General tab, check Sending/printing after End Exam.

20. How do I run a self test and obtain test reports?


Press Setup key  Maintenance  System Test  User Test. Click OK to continue. Follow instructions on
the screen to run the test. Click on Quit or Shutdown at the end of the self test.
Turn on the M7 and plug in a USB flash drive. Press Setup key  Maintenance  Export Log  Regular Log
to export the test results to the USB flash drive.

21. What does the color of LED indicators on the M7 handle mean?
There are two LED indicators on the handle. The left one is for AC input and the right one is for the battery.
• When the M7 is connected to AC power the AC input LED indicator will be green.
• When the M7 is operating in battery mode (AC not connected), and the batteries are fully charged, the
battery indicator will be off. When the batteries get low the indicator will flash orange.
• When the M7 is connected to AC power the battery indicator will be green at full charge and will be solid
orange when charging.

22. Why is the M7 not saving any images?


The most common reason is the hard drive is full. Go to iStation and check the percentage indicator at the upper
right corner. Backup and delete some data to free space for the new studies.

23. The ultrasound trackball is not moving smoothly, what can I do?
Try to clean the trackball. Use fingers to give some pressure to the trackball ring and turn the ring
counterclockwise until it pops up. Take out the ring and the ball. Be careful not to drop the ball. Use cotton swab
or clean soft dry cloth to remove any dirt and grease clogged in the trackball compartment and on the trackball
itself.

Try to clean the trackball. Use fingers to give some pressure to the trackball ring and turn the ring
counterclockwise until it pops up. Take out the ring and the ball. Be careful not to drop the ball. Use cotton swab
or clean soft dry cloth to remove any dirt and grease clogged in the trackball compartment and on the trackball
itself.
