5.1 Getting Started with the PILOT TEST
5.1.1 Use of Equipment After Transport and Storage
Make sure the device is functioning correctly before use. If the device has been stored in a
colder environment (even for shorter time) allow the device to become acclimatized. This
can take a long time depending on the conditions (like environmental humidity). You can
reduce the condensation by storing the device in its original packaging. If the device is
stored under warmer conditions than the use conditions no special precaution are required
before use. Always ensure proper operation of the device by following routine check
procedures for audiometric equipment.
5.1.2 Where to Setup
The PILOT TEST should be operated in a quiet room, so that the audiometric
examinations are not influenced by outside noises. Ambient sound pressure levels in an
audiometric test room shall not exceed the values specified in the norm ISO 8253-1:2010
or ANSI S3.1-1999. For use in noisier environments, headphones with optional sound
insulation muffs are available.
Electronic devices, which emit strong electromagnetic fields (e.g. microwaves or
radiotherapy devices), can influence the function of the audiometer. Therefore, it is not
recommended to use these devices in close proximity to the audiometer as it may lead
to incorrect test results.
The test room must be at a normal temperature, usually from 15
°
C/59
°
F to
35
°
C/95
°
F.
NOTE
: The warm up time for the device including boot up process takes approx. 1 minute.
If the device has not been used for a while (e.g. overnight), wait for the recommended period
of time before operating the device.
5.1.3 Switching the Device On and Off
Switch the PILOT TEST on and off by using the power switch on the rear panel of the
device:
1 = On, 0 = Off
.
