SCOUT™ DPOAE Quick Guide Scout™ DPOAE Quick Guide Versions 2.01 and higher

Initial startup Before you start, install a clean probe tip on the end of the probe . Be sure it covers the nozzle completely. To install a new ear tip on the probe nozzle 1. Select an appropriate size ear tip for the patient yo u are testing. 2. Slide the ear tip fully onto the probe nozzle. 3. Compress the foam tip into a narrow cylinder so that you can insert it deeply into the patient’s ear canal. 4. Pull gently on the back of the patient's ear to open the ear canal AND 5. Insert the ear tip into the patient’s ear canal securely but carefully

IMPORTANT NOTE Ear Tip Positioning and Sizes: probes Test results improve any time the probe ear tip fits securely into the patient ear canal at the correct depth. Always install a larger ear tip if the current ear tip seems too small for the patient’s ear canal, inserts too easily or goes too far into the ear canal. Superficially positioning the probe ear tip at the opening of the ear canal may cause the probe to fall out during a test or create excessive noise in the recording. At the same time, inserting the probe too deeply into the ear canal may cause patient discomfort.

INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION Installing the Scout Sport system As part of the purchase price for your Scout Sport system, you are entitled to installation and one training session from your local Bio-logic Systems Corp. representative. Make contact with your local representative when you receive your system to schedule installation and training. If you do not know your local representative, please phone our Customer Support Department at 800-323-8326.

CAUTION This system is intended for use as a medical instrument only. The software installed on this system has been verified and validated for that use, as long as no other unintended or unauthorized software is running at the same time. Do not install, download, save, or transfer other programs, software, or data on this equipment without first consulting Bio-logic Systems Corp. Doing so may interfere with the proper operation of this software.

Software Installation If you purchased a complete Scout Sport system, including the computer, then the software is already installed at the time of delivery. However, if you purchased a kit and are using it with a computer that you supplied through a separate purchase, your Bio-logic representative will install the software for you. Refer to the Computer requirements for kit installations section of this document and verify that your computer meets these minimum specifications. If it does not meet these requirements, your kit may not function properly. Note: Bio-logic Systems Corp. is not responsible for resolving incompatibilities between the kit and a computer that does not meet the minimum computer specifications.

Scout Sport System Users & Service Manual 590-OAUM03 REV: 3.02 (D)

INSTALLATION

Hardware Installation WARNING Each of the colored plastic housings on the cables displays arrows that identify the top of the connector. This helps align the cable connector male plug to the female jack on the side of the Scout Sport system module. Careful alignment of the cable plug to the jack is important to reduce the chance of bending the metal pins inside the male connector. You must insert the plugs completely into the corresponding jacks for the system to operate properly. Never twist these connectors during insertion or removal. Twisting the connector in the socket may damage the metal pins and cause communication problems between the Scout Sport system module and the computer. It may also cause other system malfunctions involving stimulus delivery or Scout Sport system recording.

CONNECTION SCHEME FOR SCOUT SPORT SYSTEM

Scout Sport System Users & Service Manual 590-OAUM03 REV: 3.02 (D)

INSTALLATION

WARNING Make sure that any platform, table, cart, or other surface used during the operation, transport, or temporary or permanent storage of the system and its components is adequate, sturdy, and safe. Bio-logic Systems Corp. is not responsible for any injury or damage that may result from inadequate, poorly constructed, or unapproved transports, carts, operating surfaces. Hardware installation of the Scout Sport system involves connecting several cables to the Scout Sport module. RS232 female connectors are on two sides of the Scout Sport module. Each of these connectors has a different pin configuration. This reduces the risk of plugging the wrong cable into the connector. Additionally, colored rings around the connector sockets on the sides of the Scout Sport module match the color of the plastic housing around the RS232 male connector end of the cable. This figure shows color-coding for the connectors on the Scout Sport module and cables:

Note: This illustration shows items only for Scout Sport systems. For other systems, please make contact with Bio-logic Systems Corp. Customer Support at 1-800-272-8075.

Scout Sport System Users & Service Manual 590-OAUM03 REV: 3.02 (D)

INSTALLATION Once the cable connections are made into the Scout Sport module, additional connections must be made to complete the hardware installation. Insert the 9 -pin D connector (female) end of the communication cable into the available communication port of the computer. The location and labeling of the port on the computer varies. On a desktop or tower computer, the communication port is typically on the back with all of the other connectors. On a laptop computer, the communication port may be on either side or on the back. If you purchased the computer from Biologic Systems Corp., a small label will be adhered adjacent to the connector. If you provided the computer, consult the manual that accompanied the computer to locate the communication port. Rarely, communication ports have a 24-pin D connector rather than a 9-pin connector. When this occurs, you must use a 9-pin to 24-pin female adapter to connect the communication cable to the computer's communication port.
