Configuration
When to use each PC:
PC1 is ideal for performing an ABR test on adult subjects and is the
default setting for ABRcustom mode. It is useful for training, demonstration
and clinical investigations.
PC2 is designed for neonate screening and is the default setting for the
ABRscreen mode.
PC3 and PC4 may give higher specificity in challenging noise
environments, potentially passing healthy ears securely even when
interference levels are high. Both are designed for neonate screening but
PC4 can also be used with adult ears.
Ear Cups
This setting allows the use of ear cups and it can be set in three different
ways :
OFF – Will always go into test assuming ear cups are not being used.
AUTO – Will detect whether ear cups are being used and prompt the user
before test if ear cups are being used or not.
ON – Will always go into test assuming ear cups are being used.
