1. Allow the instrument to thermally stabilize to room temperature for
approximately 30 minutes prior to use.

sembly.
3. Visually inspect the Transducer Assembly for cracks, chips
or other irregularities. Do not use if these conditions are present.
4. Slide an Ocu-Film + Tip Cover onto the Transducer Assembly until
the ridge is seated, taking care not to apply the tip cover too tightly or
too loosely. Make certain that the rubber is at across the tip, but not
taut. Refer to Figure 4.
