Turning the tonometer on and loading the probe

Place the wrist strap into the wrist strap attachment. Place the wrist strap
around your wrist and secure it. The wrist strap protects the tonometer
from dropping onto the floor accidentally. Insert batteries into the tono-
meter (page 9).
Press the measurement button to turn the tonometer ON. The tonome-
ter display will display all of the LCD segments (see the figure beside).
Check that all of the segments are functional in the four-digit, seven-
segment LCD display.
Following a brief pause, the display will show "LoAd, " reminding the user
to load the single use probe into the tonometer prior to measurement.
Load the probe in the following way:
Open the probe tube by removing the cap and insert the probe into probe base as shown in the
images. After the probe has been inserted, be careful not to point it down before activating the
tonometer in order to prevent the probe from falling out. Activate by pressing the measurement
button once and the tonometer will be ready for measurement when 00 (see figure below) appears
on the display. After activating the probe is magnetized and will not fall out.
