Cause / Solution(s)
The E-Scope will turn off automatically
after 1.5 to 2 minutes of use. Press any
button on the stethoscope head to restart.
If this does not restart the E-Scope, check
the battery and replace if necessary. If the
E-Scope still does not restart, please call
Cardionics for assistance.
Press and hold the + button on the head of
the E-Scope. If using a hearing aid, the
volume should be increased gradually
while tapping the diaphragm lightly. Be
sure that diaphragm is securely tightened
on the threaded housing.
Speaker driver is clipping. (1) reduce
volume until clicking sound disappears. (2)
battery may be depleted. Replace, if
necessary (3) Use the bell of the
stethoscope. (4) Using the – button on the
stethoscope head, press and hold for 7
seconds. This takes the volume to zero.
Then, press and hold the + button for 2-3
seconds. There are 64 gain positions on
the E-Scope volume control. The above
maneuver has adjusted the E-Scope to
mid-range. Some additional adjustment
may be necessary. For static, place the
chest piece lightly on the chest. There
may be an initial static sound that will
quickly disappear.
