More Calibration Tips

• When naming listeners
• Use naming convention that will allow you to
  easily select the correct audiometer and listener
• Question stations/booths that have more than one
  current 2217
• DOEHRS-HC is programmed so that when an
  audiometer is removed, it no longer appears in
  the pick list.

27
Calibration Maintenance

• Maintain calibration data for 5 years
• Print 2217s monthly
• DOEHRS-HC prompts users to print 2217s at the end
  of the month
