The AM282 Audiometer is a single-channel, pure tone, air conduction, portable instrument
designed to provide basic audiometric screening capability for physicians' offices and
industry. The lightweight design allows easy transport to a variety of testing locations. The
clearly labeled front panel controls and full frequency range make accurate, reliable
testing a simple matter for any user.
The AM282 Audiometer is a precisely designed and calibrated instrument. With proper
care it will deliver accurate sound-pressure levels to subjects' ears for hearing screening
programs
Unpacking and inspection
Although this AM282 Audiometer was carefully tested, inspected and packed for
shipping, it is good practice after receiving the instrument to immediately examine the
exterior of the container for any signs of damage. Notify the carrier if any damage is
noted.
Carefully remove the AM282 Audiometer from its shipping container. If the instrument
appears to have suffered mechanical damage, notify the carrier immediately so that a
proper claim can be made. Be certain to save all packing materials so that the claim
adjuster can inspect it as well. As soon as the carrier has completed the inspection, notify
a Welch Allyn representative.
If the instrument must be returned, repack it carefully (in the original AM282 Audiometer
container if possible) and return it prepaid to Welch Allyn for necessary adjustments.
Supplied Accessories
Check that all accessories itemized in Accessories supplied below are received in good

optional accessories.
Note
The AM282 Audiometer should be calibrated yearly (or sooner if a problem
