How do I turn the device on?

To turn on the device, press the main power switch located on the top right side of the unit.  To switch the device off, press the same main power switch and keep it pressed for 2 seconds and then release the button.  

What is the PIN code for my device and why do I need one?

The standard PIN code is 1 2 3 4.  When turning the device on for the first time, enter the standard PIN code to unlock the device.  Once unlocked, the PIN can be changed.  Resonance updated the user interface to comply with European regulations and to protect patient data. 

What is the PUK code for my device and why do I need one?

The PUK code is a second code for unlocking the device in case the wrong PIN code is entered after three attempts. Entering the wrong PIN code three times will lock the device.  The PUK code will be needed to unlock the unit. 

Where do I find the PIN and PUK codes for my device?

The PIN and PUK codes for your device appear at the bottom portion of the Pin and Puk document packaged with the unit (it should reside in a plastic bag containing the USB pen drive and stylus pen).  The standard PIN code is 1 2 3 4 which can be changed to a custom code.  The PUK code is unique to the device.  The PIN and PUK document should be filed for future reference in the event the wrong PIN is entered three time, locking the device, and to quickly access the serial number of the device. 

Where are the connection jacks located to plug in transducers and other accessories? 

Connection jacks are located on both sides of the touchscreen as follows: 

 

1:  socket for bone conduction vibrator

2:  socket for right air conduction transducer

Things to Know Before you Buy

The r17a-AC operates via a touchscreen using intuitive icons

This unit operates on a touchscreen and does not contain manual buttons or dials. The icons are intuitive and easy to use. 

The r17a-AC is most suitable for hearing screenings and not designed to serve as a clinical/diagnostic audiometer

From a pure tone audiometry perspective, the r17a-AC offers air conduction capabilities only.  Bone conduction is not a feature nor an option for this unit. 

Technical support, calibration, and service is provided and managed through Oaktree Products

Responsive, efficient, and effective support is critical for busy providers to be able to use their equipment without delay. Equipment calibration is required annually. Equipment may need to be serviced over the years.  Oaktree Products has made arrangements to coordinate and provide support, calibration and service to allow providers to focus on their clinical practice. 

There are other r17a models available that offer more features than the r17a-AC

Two additional r17a models are available including the r17a-BC and r17a-HDA. Unlike the r17a-AC, both the r17a-BC and r17a-HDA offer air and bone conduction testing capabilities and an auto-threshold feature. The major difference between the r17a-BC and r17a-HDA is the -HDA version also offers extended high frequency capabilities. The figure below illustrates the main differences between the three r17a models:
