Printing from Alpha OAE+
Warning
•
Before you make any printouts, make sure that the patient is not in contact with Alpha OAE+ by removing
the probe from the patient's ear.
Warning
•
In order to comply with the safety requirements for a medical device system, connection to the printer
must always be done outside the patient area (min. 1.5 meters/5 ft from the patient).
Note
•
Testing is not possible when Alpha OAE+ is placed in the docking station or connected to the printer.

If the label printer is not connected or if it is switched off, an error message appears on the screen.

Do not print from Alpha OAE+ when the label printer status light indicates "Cooling down" or "Buffer over-
flow."
