Gima PARKER Instructions De Fonctionnement Et Entretien page 7

Always remember that packing elements (paper, cellophane, stitches, adhesive tape,
etc.) can cut and/or hurt if they are not carefully handled.
They shall be removed with adequate means and shall not be left at the mercy of
irresponsible persons; the same is valid for tools used to remove packages (scissors,
knives, etc.).
After opening the packages, first of all it is necessary to check all pieces and parts composing the
product. Check that they are all present and in perfect conditions.
Before using it, it is necessary to insert the batteries into the apposite compartment. Proceed as follows:
- Open the battery compartment. To do this counterclockwise turn the apposite ring nut located on the
handle.
- Once opened, insert the batteries paying attention to the direction of poles (see picture).
- To close the battery compartment, clockwise screw down the ring nut and check that the batteries are
in contact with poles.
- In case the otoscope head unit separates from the handle, proceed as follows:
- For PARKER versions with screw cap, it is necessary to slightly unscrew the knob located on the side
and pull the head while tightly holding the otoscope handle.
To reinstall the head unit on the handle, it is sufficient to insert it again into the apposite seat, taking
care that the notch present on the head bottom matches with the knob. At this point it is sufficient to
exert a light pressure towards the bottom and screw the knob.
- For PARKER COLOUR versions with bayonet cap, it is necessary to hold the otoscope handle and
head group, counter-clockwise turn this last one until a click is heard, at this point it is possible to take
the head off.
To insert the head, make the bayonet cap grooves match, push the head towards the bottom and clockwise
rotate it.
- The operation necessary to remove and replace the speculum is very simple:
Counterclockwise rotate the speculum and draw it out of its seat. To reposition the speculum, insert it
into the head group, make the groove match with the small pivot and clockwise rotate.
First of all it is necessary to choose the size and the type of speculum suitable to the acoustic duct to
examine.
Besides the ones provided as standard, on request it is possible to deliver disposable specula with
different sizes and colours (cod. 31491 - 31492 - 31495), which can be assembled on the head by
means of an adapter (cod. 31493). An adapter can be also supplied to install a disposable alligator
speculum (cod. 31494) (see picture), suitable to examine children.
The examiner shall turn on the light by means of the black knurled ring nut located on the handle upper
side. Both PARKER models are equipped with a rheostat. Thus pressing the white pushbutton and
slowly clockwise rotating the ring nut it is possible to increase the intensity of light. Counter-clockwise
rotate the ring nut to turn down the light until it is off.
After the use, make sure that the light is off.
Periodically check the battery conditions, making sure that no sign of corrosion or
oxidation is present, in case of necessity replace them with new alkaline ones. Carefully
handle the batteries as the liquids they contain can irritate skin and eyes.
