Loading a new disposable probe Accurate measurement is guaranteed only when using probes made by Tiolat Oy. Hold the disposable probe in your hand, open the package, and load the probe into the sensor base, according to the illustrations. Open the disposable package.
Turning the device ON and magnetizing the probe Raise the device to the vertical operating position, ensuring that the probe cannot fall out of the probe base. Press the measurement button. The probe will be magnetized by moving back and forward for a short time, and the mechanism that prevents the probe drop- ping out accidentally will start.
Measurement The measurement should be done without anesthetic, because an anesthetic may reduce the tonometer reading*. Ask the subject to relax and look straight ahead to a specific point. Bring the tonometer near to the subject’s eye. The central groove should be in a horizontal position.

Replacing the probe base After several months of use, dust may collect in the probe base, affecting the probe movement. The probe base should be replaced if the probe no longer moves smoothly. Unscrew the probe base collar and put it in a safe place. Remove the probe base by tilting the tonometer downward and pull the probe base out of the tonometer.
Replacing the batteries Unscrew the battery compartment locking screw with a screwdriver or a small coin. Remove the battery compartment cover. Remove the old batteries. Put new AA batteries into the tonome- ter according to figures inside the battery compartment. +terminals should be down on the display side of the tonometer (behind).
