A range of filters is provided, so that you can fine tune your own preferences. See details of the c omplete selection , and do some listening tests to determine your preference. Alternatively, turn on your One and simply enjoy it. - Page 15 Stethoscope Filter Selection Your Thinklabs One Digital Stethoscope offers a revolutionary change in filtering sound for auscultation. Instead of the limited Bell/Diaphragm selection, you get multiple filters (Actual filters can change between software revisions). Sounds comprise a combination of lower and higher pitched sounds.

10 times. DO NOT CLICK MORE THAN 10 TIMES if you want Auto Shutoff to operate. 3. Now Push and Hold the Alt Key until the One shuts off. This will take about 15 seconds. Your One is now programmed. - Page 17 The Thinklabs Electromagnetic Diaphragm maintains the tactile sense of an acoustic stethoscope, where diaphragm pressure was always used to adjust the sensitivity to lower or higher frequencies. Thinklabs takes this to a new level. The stethoscope diaphragm sits in front of a conductive plate inside the stethoscope body.
- Page 18 Psychoacoustics and Stethoscope Volume As you adjust stethoscope volume, you will find that you hear low pitched sounds better when the volume is higher, even if you do not change filters or diaphragm pressure. This is due to a psychoacoustic phenomenon discovered by Fletcher &...

- Page 21 Set the Source switch to the center or right position. The center position reduces the signal level to the mobile device. This is usually necessary, since the One is usually too loud for most recording devices. You may also find that reducing One's volume level to a 0 to 2 range is necessary during recording, to reduce clipping and distortion.

- Page 24 (Note that there is NO electric field outside your One stethoscope.) This is a robust system and the diaphragm is strong and not easily damaged.
- Page 25 However, if the situation arises that you'd like to clean inside, this is how you do it. You might also want to perform these steps if your One stethoscope is producing strange noises, which may be caused by lint or dirt inside your stethoscope.
- Page 26 Finally, sounds are dependent on the location on the body. There is also a technique to using One well: Start by applying a light pressure on the diaphragm. As you increase pressure, One becomes more sensitive and volume increases.
- Page 27 Check to make sure you've connected your headphone plug all the way into One's jack. Note that the jack hole is rather narrow, about 6.5mm to be precise. So some plugs are a bit too fat to fit all the way. If that's a possibility, use the short male-female extension cable supplied with your One.
- Page 28 There are some interfering noises that can occur even when not examining a patient. Some potential culprits are listed below, with remedies: - Radio stations or electromagnetic pickup: Move One to a location that does not have strong electromagnetic fields. One has been hardened against such interference, but it is technically possible, albeit unlikely, that noise can be induced by such sources.
- Page 29 Think hip-hop, not classical music when considering what your headphones can handle. - One is not being held in a firm and steady position, or is not being held with a steady pressure against the patient. Changing pressure is akin to vibration.
- Page 30 - lots of tricks out there! 3. AFTER it's dry, replace the diaphragm and diaphragm ring. Read the instructions for doing so, and do not damage the sensitive thread on the One by screwing it on wrong. 4. AFTER it's dry and you've closed it up, try turning it on and test it out. If it sounds OK, and seems to be working, you're probably OK.
- Page 31 The Audio Filters In Your One The following filters are provided in your Thinklabs One. Refer to the Quick Reference if you’d like to change the 2 favorites, currently set to Filter 1 and Filter 3. 1. 30Hz - 500Hz. Produces strong low frequencies for heart sounds, especially S3.
