Connecting The Extension Cord - Interacoustics OtoRead Operation Manual

The eartip must seal the ear canal. The best test results are obtained
when the eartip is inserted deeply into the ear canal instead of flush
with the ear canal opening. Caution must be taken, however, to
ensure that the eartip does not extend too deeply into the ear canal.
Use only the eartips approved for use with the instrument. The
eartips are disposable and should be replaced after each patient.
Do not attempt to clean or reuse these eartips.
After selecting an eartip, push it onto the probe tip until it is flush
against the base of the probe tip. The sound outlet tubes on the
probe tip are recessed to minimize the likelihood of clogging. If the
probe tip does become plugged or clogged, it must be replaced. See
the section Probe Tip Replacement on page Error! Bookmark not
defined. for further information. To remove the eartip, grasp the
eartip at the base and twist it while pulling it straight off the end of the
probe tip.

Connecting the Extension Cord

It is possible to extend the reach of the OtoRead by pulling off the top
and inserting the extension cord between the instrument and the top
(see Figure 4). A regular test situation can be seen in Figure 5. The
extension of the OtoRead is particularly useful in situations where
more flexibility is needed e.g. as in Figure 6.
