each ear if there is any sign of infection).

Used ear cups can be disposed of in normal waste.

Replacement ear cups are available from the customer

service. Part number 101 74 191

Insert the batteries

STEP 1. Gently place the cup of the

device over the ear. It's important

that the edges of the cup are in

contact with the patient's head.

Move any hair out of the way,

remove glasses, earrings and

hair bands or anything that may

prevent achieving adequate

contact around the ear.

STEP 2. Press the start button

once to initiate the functional test

sequence. If it is working correctly,

you will see all 3 lights flash in

sequence 3 times. This indicates

that the device is ready to use.

The test sequence will begin

in 3 seconds with three signals

at 1000 Hz. (55dBHL, 35dBHL,

20dBHL).

A light will appear when a tone

is being played: first left, then

middle, then right. The subject

should indicate when a tone is

heard to the tester by a suitable

method such as raising a finger.
