SETUP OPTIONS 

A cursor consisting of square brackets identifies a particular setup item, and this may be moved through the 
items using the 

 and 

 keys. The 

 and 

 keys are then used to cycle through the available options (except 

where noted below). 

11.2.1 Contrast 

This function adjusts the display contrast. 

11.2.2 Examiner 

For purposes of good record keeping, the e

xaminer’s name is stored with each record in the database, and 

also printed with the audiogram. Use the keyboard to enter the e

xaminer’s name. 

11.2.3 Test Type 

This  command  allows  the  user  to  switch  between  Bekesy  and  Computer  test  as  the  default  automatic  test 
routine. 

11.2.4 Retries 

If  a  hearing  threshold  level  is  not  established  in  Bekesy  or  Computer  test  mode  this  option  will  enable  an 
automatic retest at the failed frequency prior to the continuation of the audiometric test. Select 0 to 3 retries. 

11.2.5 Run Through 

If Run Through is set to ‘Yes’, the Bekesy and Computer tests will proceed from start to finish whether or not 
a threshold level has been established for a particular frequency.  

If Run Through is set to ‘No’ and the patient does not establish a threshold, the operator will be alerted. At this 
stage  the  operator  may  wish  to  further  instruct  the  patient  using  the  Talkover  facility  before  retesting  that 
particular frequency. 

11.2.6 Omit 1.5kHz and/or 8kHz 

Select the option to suit specific screening requirements. Note: to aid data entry in the Test details page, use 
the 

  key to skip over the omitted fields. To enter values in the omitted fields if required use the 

 and 

 

keys. See Section 9.4.
