1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing an Amplivox audiometer. The Amplivox Model
170 is an automatic screening audiometer that will give many years of
reliable service if treated with care.
1.1 Intended applications
The Model 170 screening audiometer is designed for use by general
practitioners, occupational health staff and child health professionals and
is the ideal instrument for primary care groups, schools and industry. The
audiometer may also be used for manual audiometry, but it is not intended
for use to determine the full extent and scope of a patient’s hearing
deficiency.
Test results may be printed using the specified printer option or
transferred to a PC running the Amplivox Audibase or AudiView
applications.
1.2 Unpacking
Open the shipping carton and carefully remove all the equipment. Check
against the delivery note that all the accessories ordered have been

Amplivox in its original shipping carton.
