Connect cable to screener
1. With the screener turned off, insert the HDMI connector firmly
into the socket on the top of the screener. The plug fits only in one
direction.
Attach the probe tube
1. Insert a new probe tube into the probe head until it is fully seated.
A properly inserted probe tube snaps securely into place when it is
fully seated in the probe head.
2. To remove a probe tube, grasp the tube and pull gently away from
the probe head with a slight twist.
It is not necessary to replace the probe tube with each eartip; the
tube is reusable as long as the probe tube is clear.
Attach an eartip
WARNING Safety risk. The eartips are disposable and
must be replaced after each patient.
1. Select the appropriate-sized eartip.
2. Push and slightly twist the eartip onto the probe tube.
3. Ensure that the eartip is fully seated on the
probe. There should be no gaps between the
eartip and the collar of the probe tube.

a maximum time of 4 seconds per frequency and DP 2s–testing at a
maximum time of 2 seconds per frequency.
