Calibration
Annual calibration
The audiometer, headphones, bone oscillators, and sound field speakers must be calibrated once a year by your authorized
service department.
Remote calibration
You can order a transducer and get the calibration data installed via remote support. The calibration data is included in
your package on a USB memory card (or supplied by technical support during the installation).
To import calibration data:
1. Connect the new transducer to your audiometer.
2. Connect the audiometer to your Otosuite pc. Insert the USB memory stick in an empty slot on your PC.
3. Call your Otometrics technical support team. They will use the application TeamViewer to ensure correct remote
installation of the new calibration data on your system.
TeamViewer is located at
Help
(Help) >
Remote support
(Remote support).
The technician installs the calibration data via the menu function
Tools
(Tools) >
Audiometer service
(Audiometer ser-
vice). The data is password protected.
4. When the installation has ended, hold the new transducer within hearing distance and cautiously perform a listening
check.
The purpose of the check is to ascertain that the transducer is functioning correctly (without wrong or excessive sound
levels), not to verify the exact calibration.
Caution
•
Note that calibration has been performed only on the transducers supplied! If you wish to use any other
transducer for testing with the device, please contact your local distributor first.
