9. Pull the earlobe with the Ear Clip in
horizontal position. Move the sensor
horizontally into place with the cable
preferably pointing to the crown of the
head. Insert the sensor into the clip’s
retainer ring by gently pressing it until
it snaps into the clip.
Note: Check that the sensor can be
easily rotated to ensure it is snapped
in correctly.
10. Check sensor application! The
sensor is applied correctly if its entire
dark surface is covered by the earlobe.
Ensure that air gaps are eliminated
between the skin and the sensor.
5. Open the Docking Station Door and
remove the sensor.
Note: Always grab the sensor at its
neck to avoid pulling and tearing the
sensor cable.
6. Close the Docking Station Door.
7. Check the condition of the sensor membrane and the integrity
of the sensor (p.
15
). Change the membrane if necessary
(p.
17
). Do not use the sensor if any problems are noted.
8. Take the sensor and apply one small
drop of contact liquid to the middle of
the sensor surface.
Note: Until the sensor is applied to the
earlobe, ensure to hold the sensor such
that the contact liquid does not run
off the sensor face. Avoid wetting the
adhesive tapes!
Note: Alternatively you may apply one small drop of contact
liquid to the visible skin area in the center of the Ear Clips
tainer ring or use a cotton swab (Q-tip) to apply the contact
liquid.
