3.5. THRESHOLD RETENTION FUNCTION
This function records the thresholds for both ears at each frequency tested (air conduction, bone conduction and ULL).
Once a threshold has been determined press the “selected ear” key once again. Alternatively use the “Store on 2 of 3”
function (see Section 3.5.2). The threshold will be recorded and displayed as shown below.
The operator can then review the results at the end of the test and record them on an audiogram card, print them with
the optional printer (see Section 3.8), save them to the internal memory (see Section 3.6) and/or transfer the results to
a computer (see Section 3.9).
To review the retained thresholds, select the required frequency using the FREQUENCY keys. The recorded values
for the left and right ears are shown on the lower line of the display, designated L and R respectively.
