Voice commands
WARNING:
To avoid unexpected system responses
to voice commands, test them before
the ultrasound procedure. See
the voice commands"
If the remote control fails to respond to
voice commands during an ultrasound
procedure, use the buttons instead.
You can control the ultrasound system by
speaking commands into a microphone
connected to the remote control. Before using
voice commands, train the remote control to
recognize your voice.
Whenever you connect the microphone, the
remote control is automatically ready for voice
commands.
