- Once the desired head (Otoscope or Ophthalmoscope) is attached, twist the ring at the base of the head to turn on the light.
- Adjust the light intensity or focus as needed (if applicable to the specific head).
- After use, twist the ring back to the OFF position to conserve battery life.
4.2 Otoscope Use (Ear Examination)
- Attach an appropriate size ear speculum (reusable or disposable) to the otoscope head.
- Gently insert the speculum into the ear canal while pulling the earlobe up and back (for adults) or down and back (for children) to straighten the canal.
