Identify: check the model and instructions supplied with your scanner. Match the app and display requirements to that configuration.
Inspect: check the housing and scanning surface for cracks or damage before powering on.
Prepare: charge with the supplied, model-matched hardware. Locate the power / Freeze button and battery indicator shown in your instructions.

Freeze, save and review
This CProbe family example shows SX-1CS and App 3.6.34. The lower toolbar illustrates Freeze, image Save and video Save; it does not establish every model’s export options.
Use Freeze to pause a frame. Resume Run / LIVE when ready.
Use Save Image for a still, or the available Save Video control for a sequence.
Open the saved file and check it before leaving the session.
Where do saved files go?
The cited iPhone / iPad instructions describe saving and review in the display’s photo album. Android folders and Windows export steps may differ. Follow your platform’s instructions and your organization’s rules for patient information, backups and sharing.

Clean, protect and store
Care references: CProbe manual pp. 33–35; UProbe manual pp. 25–28. A family manual’s symbols do not establish an immersion rating for every model.
Power off before cleaning. Remove gel and visible soil using the cleaning procedure approved for the exact probe.
Follow the full process: use the specified product, concentration and contact time, with appropriate protective equipment and facility infection-control requirements.
Inspect and dry: check the equipment before use and keep it protected in its case when stored.
Handling precautions
Do not immerse the device, improvise sterilization, open the housing or attempt internal or battery repairs. Keep the scanner protected from impact and temperature extremes. Stop using equipment that is damaged or abnormally hot and contact support.

When the screen does not match
The Settings image is a CProbe family example, SX-1CS / App 3.6.34. It does not establish DICOM or other options for every supplied scanner.
No power: check charge and the correct power supply, then follow the supplied startup instructions.
No connection / no LIVE view: confirm that the probe is on, your display is on its Wi-Fi network and the correct app is open.
Interference: move away from the suspected source. Change a channel only as directed by your model’s instructions.
Send the model, app and operating-system versions, the symptom and an order reference if available. Do not include identifiable patient images, medical records, passwords or payment-card details. For damage, abnormal heat or persistent errors, stop use and contact support.
