2.6
The AURICAL OTOcam 300 cradle
The cradle is a multi-functional holder for your AURICAL OTOcam 300 when it is not in use. It controls the light source and
the camera tip heating.
When AURICAL OTOcam 300 is placed in the cradle, the light source is turned off and the camera tip heating is turned on.
No condensation problems
In most cases the camera tip has a lower temperature than the air in the ear canal. This causes condensation, which
reduces the image quality.
In AURICAL OTOcam 300 the built-in heater pre-heats the camera tip so that the temperature difference between the
camera tip and the air inside the ear canal is minimal. The pre-heating function is activated when the AURICAL
OTOcam 300 is plugged into the PC (which is powered on) and placed in its cradle. In order for the pre-heater to heat the
camera tip to body temperature, AURICAL OTOcam 300 should remain in the cradle for approx. 5 minutes before the cam-
era is used.
Therefore, for optimal operating conditions, place AURICAL OTOcam 300 in the cradle when you are not using it.
