Quick Reference Guide
4. Carefully Insert EarCheck Tip.
Gently place EarCheck tip over the child’s ear
canal. Hold the tip against the ear canal, pointing
down the canal’s opening.
Completely cover
the
ear canal. Your EarCheck monitor tip is designed
for safety to prevent it from being inserted too far
into the ear.
5. Press the Scan Button.
With EarCheck tip in place, continue to hold the
ear back. Press the scan button. Your EarCheck
Monitor will make a soft chirping sound. You will
hear a series of short tones followed by one long
tone when the scan is complete. You may find it
helpful to slowly move the EarCheck tip in a small
circular motion. If the child’s ear were a clock,
rotate the EarCheck from 4:00 to 8:00 o’clock.
6. Read Results.
Remove EarCheck tip from ear and read the
results. Level will remain displayed for about 5
seconds after the scan has been completed.
