DATABASE MODE
10.1
DATABASE OVERVIEW
The CA850 has an internal database which is capable of storing up to 2000 patient records (consisting of the
patient details plus audiometric test data). The data is held in non-volatile memory and is thus retained when
the audiometer is powered down.
However, as with all computer-based systems of this nature it is vital that the database is regularly
backed up for security. Refer to Section 10.4.7 for details of how to perform this operation.
For additional security, access to the database is possible only by entering a five-digit security passcode which
is unique to each audiometer.
10.2
DATABASE SECURITY PAGE
The Database is accessed by pressing the DATABASE button on the keyboard. The database security page
is then displayed as shown below.
Use the keyboard to enter the passcode supplied with
the audiometer and Press the ‘OK’ softkey. Note: For
security the passcode is displayed as a series of asterisks (*).
If an incorrect passcode has been entered the security page is displayed again.
Alternatively press the ‘Cancel’ softkey to return to TEST mode.
