Basic Functions

Quick Start

These steps will allow you to quickly start using the OtoRead OAE
Test System. Be sure to perform the necessary otoscopic
examination prior to testing. Read the entire manual before testing
patients.
Step 1 Insert 4 AA/UM-3/R6 Alkaline batteries into the OtoRead .
Step 2 Place an eartip as far down as possible on the probe tip.
Step 3 Turn on the OtoRead by pressing the large DOWN arrow
button.
Step 4 Select the test ear by pressing the LEFT or RIGHT arrow key.
Step 5 Insert the eartip deeply into the patient's ear canal to obtain a
seal. When a seal is obtained, the OtoRead will automatically begin
the test first calibrating and then testing emissions. The red ERROR
LED will illuminate if there is noise in the environment. This flashing
is normal and will often occur and testing can be made anyhow,
though it may influence the result. Once the testing is finished, the
unit will display "PASS" or "REFER" on the LCD display.
Step 6 When testing is completed on both ears, turn the printer on
by pressing the round button on top and place the hand-held unit on
the cradle. The most recent test results for both ears will
automatically print out.

Connection to the Printer

Connect the appropriate end of the connector cable into the port
located on the underside of the cradle. After firmly pushing the broad
connector end into place, turn the screws on either side to tighten it.
