Preparing for the test
Before you test the Air Conduction thresholds of a patient, make the following
preparations:

Connect the patient response handswitch, the headphones, the optional monitor
headset (or the optional monitor adaptor with talkover microphone and monitor
loudspeaker), and the optional patient talkback microphone.
2.
Switch on the electric power supply.
3.
Select User Test 1 or change the setup as described in Chapter 0, and make sure
that the setup begins with

If you use an optional monitor headset or loudspeaker, it will normally give an
audible response each time the patient activates the patient response handswitch.
To disable or re-enable this function, press
Softkey 3
in test mode to display the
Options Menu
, and then toggle
Softkey 5

you can disable the function by pressing

returns automatically to the current test values after a few moments.

Check the monitored level of audible response from the patient response hand-
switch if it is enabled, and, if necessary, use a screwdriver to adjust the
Pt. Vol.
level on the rear panel until this level is comfortable.
