Care And Maintenance; Troubleshooting Solutions - ADC Adtemp 658 Instructions For Use Manual

NOTE: Do not touch piezoelectric sound transducer located in
the center of the chestpiece under the diaphragm, as it is
extremely sensitive and susceptible to damage (Figure 3).

Care and Maintenance

• Avoid extreme heat, cold, solvents, or oils.
• Do NOT leave exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time.
• The headset can be wiped down with alcohol or mild soapy water.
• Eartips may be removed from binaurals for a thorough cleaning.
• Periodically check that eartips are tightly secured to binaurals.
• Do NOT immerse stethoscope in any liquid or subject to steam sterilization.
• Chestpieces and diaphragms can be wiped down with 70% isopropyl alcohol for
cleaning purposes.
It is unnecessary to disassemble the unit for cleaning. Use a slightly moistened cotton cloth
with alcohol to clean chestpiece diaphragm, binaurals, and eartips. Be careful to prevent
alcohol seepage under the diaphragm, as it may cause significant damage to the microphone
and electronic circuits.
Caution: Never immerse instrument in any liquid. Do not apply excessive force to the
diaphragm. Your 658 has a replaceable diaphragm with a piezopolymer film contact
microphone positioned behind it. The chestpiece is not user-serviceable and should never
be disassembled, except to replace the diaphragm.
