11. Using Onboard Recording

Onboard recording provides a means to acquire and play an auscultation sound track for a maximum of 29 seconds. This track can be uploaded to an external device using the Bluetooth link and the software accompanying the Model 3200.

How to record a sound track:

1.Enter the recording mode: Depress and release the (M) button. The MAIN menu will be displayed. Use the (-) button to scroll to the RECORD option.

2.Begin the recording: Depress and release the (M) button. The stethoscope will start recording and the LCD screen will show a “recording” icon.

3.End the recording: Depress and release the (M) button. The stethoscope will stop recording and the recording icon will disappear from the LCD display. If the time between the beginning and ending of the recording session is greater than 29 seconds, only the last 29 seconds will be saved.

How to play back a sound track:

1.Enter the playback mode: Depress and release the (M) button. The MAIN menu will be displayed. Use the (-) button to scroll to the PLAY option. Select this option by pressing and releasing the (M) button. The LCD screen will show a “play” icon and the sound track will loop continuously.

2.End playback: Depress and release the (M) button. The stethoscope will stop playing the sound track and will return to its previous operational mode.

Uploading a sound track to an external device:

1.Prepare the external device to receive the sound file. Start the software program on the external device. Consult application software for details.

2.Initiate a Bluetooth connection with the Model 3200. Use the same procedure as described above for initiating real- time data transfers to an external device.

3.Return to operating mode: When transmission of the sound track is complete, the Bluetooth link to the external device can be disconnected and the Model 3200 will return to its previous operating mode.

12. Other Operating Considerations

Operating range is -22º to 104ºF (-30º to 40ºC), 15 to 93% relative humidity.

Storage and transport range is -40º to 131ºF (-40º to 55ºC), 15 to 93% relative humidity.

To extend the life of your stethoscope, avoid extreme heat, cold, solvents and oils. Remove the battery whenever the stethoscope will not be used for several months.

If you plan to use the stethoscope below 0ºF (-18ºC) you should use a lithium battery to insure proper function.

14. MAINTENANCE & WARRANTY

Cleaning

Cleaning of stethoscope should be done between each patient use.

Cleaning the Chestpiece

Under normal conditions, it is unnecessary to remove the diaphragm for cleaning. The diaphragm can easily be cleaned by using an alcohol wipe. If however, it is necessary to remove the diaphragm, carefully follow the instructions below:

Diaphragm Removal: With diaphragm side up, using a thumbnail, lift the underside portion of the diaphragm out of its designated groove, and peel it off of the chestpiece. The groove that holds the diaphragm in place can be cleaned by sliding the edge of an alcohol swab around the groove. All parts of the chestpiece can be wiped down with alcohol. IMPORTANT: The stethoscope should not be immersed in any solution. Excess liquid used in the cleaning process may result in moisture getting into the internal components.

Diaphragm Reassembly: Once the diaphragm is completely dry, insert the diaphragm into the groove of the rim, starting at one point, and run your finger around the diaphragm until it is seated back in the groove.
