LOADING THE PROBE

Step 1. Remove the probe base cover (do not
dispose of the cover) and open the probe tube
by removing the cap and insert the probe into
the probe base as shown in Figure 3.
Step 2. After loading the probe the tonometer
will be ready for measurement when Play-
symbol appears on the display (Figure 4).

PROBE BASE LIGHT INDICATION

The probe base light serves two purposes.
First, it helps guide alignment of the device by
showing a red light when the device is in the
wrong position (i.e. too much vertical tilt) and
a green light when the orientation is correct.
Second, it indicates errors (see section Error
and Info Messages) in addition to the display
during the measurement sequence. When any
of these errors occurs, the probe base light
flashes red until the error is cleared by pressing
the "Measure" button. The probe base light
flashes red also when the text REPEAT with
the yellow repeat symbol come on the display
indicating a measurement sequence with too
high deviation.

off automatically after 3 minutes.
