
Loosen the three Allen head screws roughly 2 turns counterclockwise on the perimeter of the headrest holder (Allen wrench is
included with the accessories) and turn the headrest together with the optical unit into the desired position. Tighten the three
Allen head screws again. A complete rotation around the column is blocked by a built in limit.

Place the instrument on the table so that the opening of the table foot and the headrest are in the same direction.

Connect the ‘Patient response button’ to the connector located on the support of the headrest.
Figure 9
The connector housing for the ‘Patient response
button’ is accessible from below on the headrest
support. The catches on the Patient response button
connector are oriented in the direction of the
instrument column.
ATTENTION: Besides the ‘Patient response
button’ no other cable should be
attached to the RJ11 connector.

Stick the connector plug so far into the connector housing that the catches audibly click. To remove the ‘Patient response
button’, press the catches in the direction of the headrest and pull out the cable downwards.

If the examination data are to be transmitted to a PC, connect the OCTOPUS 300 and the PC with the serial connection cable.

Plug the power cord in. The built in ‘Power supply’ works with the voltage specified in Chapter 10.1 'Technical Data'. A change
of voltage on the instrument is not required. If an instrument table was delivered with the unit, the OCTOPUS 300 can be
connected using the power socket in the electronics box of the instrument table.
