– PC850 Operating Manual
When data is saved in Audibase a further dialogue box appears similar to that shown below. This displays the
hearing level categorisation and provides an opportunity for the operator to enter a recall period for the patient.
Enter the appropriate recall period from the drop-
down options and click on “OK” to confirm saving of the data.
Clicking on “Cancel” will cancel the save operation and discard the data.
Users should remain aware that it is possible to modify audiometric test results transferred into Audibase as
long as they have not been saved. Refer to the Audibase manual for details.

MANUAL TESTING
This assumes that a set of audiometric thresholds has already been established by using the audiometer in
manual test mode.
Click the “Select upload manual test” icon (the icon will then be highlighted)
.
Alternatively
use the “Test > Manual” drop-down menu selection at the top of the PC850 window.
To transfer a set of manual thresholds to Audibase click the “Run selected test” icon
and confirm the
operation by clicking “Yes” in the Run Test dialogue box. A further dialogue box will open.
This allows either the “Current readings” (i.e. the retained thresholds) or the thresholds stored in one of the
audiometer’s internal memory locations to be transferred to Audibase. To select an internal memory location
un-check the
“Current readings” box and enter the required memory location (numbers 1 to 12).
Click on OK, and the selected data will be transferred to Audibase when the PC850 window is closed.
Remember to “save” the data in Audibase to retain it in the database (refer to the Audibase operating manual).
Note that the manual test method described above will transfer only thresholds stored in the audiometer. The
results of any (partial) automatic test will be discarded. Thus, if an automatic test has been completed but with
errors, the “Mixed Test” mode should be used to insert manual readings into the incomplete automatic test.
