SETUP button on the keyboard and the following page is displayed.

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.
