11.3. CARRY OUT A REAL-TIME FIT TEST
Conduct a real-time fit test only if the headset has successfully
passed the procedures described in 9.2. DAILY CHECK
PROCEDURE.
NOTE: Both earplugs must be fitted before performing a real-time
fit test. Noise must be present when test is performed.
For example, fit test in an area that requires hearing protection or
where you need to raise your voice to be heard by a person who is
at least an arms-length away.
Be sure not to talk or chew while the fit test is being performed.
The first time a real-time fit test is performed, you will be prompted
to select the eartips you have attached to the earpieces.
Audio message: "Please select an eartip type through the menu
before conducting a fit test". Each time the eartip type is changed,
the type must be updated within the Eartip selection menu.
Use the Power/Menu button to cycle through
the menu options until you hear the audio
message "Eartip selection – (Unknown, Skull
Screw, UltraFit, etc.)". Use (+) or (-) buttons to
cycle through the options to choose/change
the eartip you intend to use. The audio prompt
will identify the eartip selected and is saved
automatically.
Press the Power/Menu button again to return to the menu options.
After 2 seconds of non-activity, you will be brought back out of the
menu.
The SCU will show the real-fit test progress and result by means of
the indicators (1).
To start a real-time fit test:
Press and hold the Fit test/channel button (2) for 1 second.
Release when you hear a beep.
The real-time fit-test process begins and can be observed by the
white channel light indicators as described below.
