Introduction and Setup

4. Depending on whether you have a floor stand or a swing arm, either (1)

Unfold and extend the floor stand to the desired height, about the level of a
seated client’s ear, or (2) Mount the wall/desk bracket of the swing arm in a
convenient location. Attach the loudspeaker to the stand or arm, using the
threaded connection.

5. Plug the dual banana plug into the rear jacks of the loudspeaker. Then plug

the other end of the cable into the main module where it is marked “SPKR.”

1.6.5 Powering up the 7000 test system

1. Turn on the electronics module by reaching back on the right side of the

main module (while you are facing the front of the unit), and pressing
the POWER switch. The green LED on the front panel, above the words
“POWER” will turn on after a couple seconds.

2. Turn on the video monitor. See the video operator’s manual for instructions,

if necessary.

The Opening screen of the 7000 test system will be displayed. It contains the
FONIX logo, along with the software version, the serial number, and the avail-
able options. This information is important in identifying your equipment when
you communicate with the company about your FONIX 7000 test system.

1.7 Maintenance

In order to ensure accurate testing, we recommend yearly calibrations of your
coupler microphone. For those units with the Real-ear Option, we also recom-
mend yearly calibration of the probe & reference microphones and the sound
field speaker. These calibrations can be performed by any Frye distributor or by
yourself with the aid of a sound level calibrator such as a Quest QC-10. Please
see Appendix B for calibration instructions.

1.7.1 Cleaning

For your safety, disconnect the 7000 from mains power while cleaning. Wipe the
7000 with a slightly moist but not dripping cloth. Use plain water or water with
mild dish washing detergent. Wipe away any detergent with a slightly moist
cloth. Finally, use a soft dry cloth to eliminate any lingering moisture.

Never allow fluid to enter the 7000:

• enclosure
• power switch
• power connector
• electrical connectors
• front panel buttons
