Preparation for testing • Place instrument on table of sufficient height • Unlock handle, bottom lock and raise instrument • First connect panel to instrument as shown using panel cord. Then connect power cord to instrument and turn switch ON. • Test all membrane switches on membrane panel to ensure proper operation • Ensure lenses are clean, use cleaning towlettes or fog cloths
Preparation for testing • Place record forms near instrument • Avoid positioning the instrument near strong glaring light to prevent glare while testing • Ensure patient is comfortably seated • Raise the instrument for comfortable viewing, based on patient height • Ensure lever is in FAR position • Ensure drum assembly is in FAR position. White dot on knob should match purple dot.
