Operation of the Headset
The ADC
®
Adscope
TM
658 electronic stethoscope is designed
to provide comfortable ear fittings and the best sound trans-
mission. The binaurals (ear tubes) are angled at 15° to permit
a comfortable, acoustically sealed aural fit. Eartips should
point forward, towards the bridge of the nose to fit properly.
Adjusting the Spring Tension in the Headset
To reduce the tension, grip the binaurals firmly using both hands with
fingers at the center of the “Y” in the tubing,
thumbs at each side
where the tubing branches out. Flex bin aurals gradually until the
desired tension is obtained. To increase the tension, grip the binaurals
in the hand and squeeze the binaural tubes together gradually. Exces-
sive adjustment of the spring tension could weaken the spring.

o turn the 658 on. The Multi-function button will turn blue, and the LCD will

cally three minutes after the last button is
