Operation Manual 

Page 49 

In order to modify the individual reflex settings of Test A or B hold 
down “shift” (18) while pressing F1 to F6 depending on which reflex 
that needs to be modified. 
 
When highlighted, it is possible to select between “Ipsi” (12) and 
“Contra” (13). The frequency can be changed by means of the 
“Frequency Decr / Incr” keys (27 and 28). The intensity can be 
change 

by means of the “HL dB” rotary dial (26). Finally, it is possible 

to switch on or off the highlighted reflex by pressing the F-key 
underneath the highlighted reflex.   
 
When the individual reflex for Test A or B has been modified to the 
special personal n

eeds, hold down “shift” (18) while pressing the F-

key underneath the highlighted reflex once again.   
 
In the same way all the reflexes for Test A or B can be modified. 
Finally, press “Back” (7) to return to the test screen.  
 
 

Ipsilateral and Contralateral Reflexes 

 
AA222 is capable of performing ipsilateral as well as contralateral 
reflexes. 
 
In the Setup Menu for Reflex A or B it is possible to set up a reflex 
test procedure to perform either ipsilateral or contralateral reflexes 
only. Alternatively AA222 can be set up to perform ipsilateral and 
contralateral in the same test procedure. 
 
By pressing “Ipsi” (12) or “Contra” (13) it is possible to switch on or 
off the ipsilateral or contralateral reflexes. This means that it is 
possible to manually overrule (meaning switch off) e.g. a contralateral 
reflex that was selected as default for Reflex Test A or B simply by 
pressing “Contra” (13).  
 
The idea is that light indication in the “Ipsi” (12) and “Contra” (13) 
keys indicates whether or not the ipsilateral and / or contralateral 
reflexes will be performed in a preceding test session.
