Quick Check - Howard Leight VeriPRO Guía De Referencia Rápida

3.3.1 Using the Slider Bar
To proceed with the VeriPRO test, the user moves the slider bar
up and down to adjust the loudness of the left ear until it matches
the reference tone in the right ear. When volume in the left ear
and right ear match, press MATCH.
• To extend the range of the slider bar higher or lower, press the
double-arrows at the top or bottom of the slider bar. Note that
the double arrows flash red when the slider bar range has been
extended.
• If user cannot match the loudness of the tones, press CANNOT
MATCH and click on the appropriate remark.

3.4 Quick Check

The Quick Check mode is a fast screening check of the earplug fit.
It is ideal for earplug selection, training and periodic testing. It
uses the same test procedures as the Complete Check mode, but
only tests at one critical frequency: 500 Hz. If an earplug is fit
poorly enough to allow noise to easily leak through, this always
shows up at 500 Hz.
The Quick Check leads the user through the same three parts:
loudness balance with no earplugs, with earplug in right ear only,
and with earplugs in both ears. Due to testing at only one
frequency instead of five frequencies, the test is completed much
more quickly – usually in three minutes or less for most users –
but is not as accurate as the Complete Check. The result of the
Quick Check is simply the attenuation of the earplug at 500 Hz.
