Maintenance - Cleaning Inside Your Stethoscope
There is generally no reason to open your Thinklabs One Digital Stethoscope. However, if the situation
arises that you'd like to clean inside, this is how you do it. You might also want to perform these steps if
your One stethoscope is producing strange noises, which may be caused by lint or dirt inside your
stethoscope.
1. Turn off your Thinklabs One stethoscope (Push and hold "-" and ALT keys together for a few seconds,
then release).
2. Unscrew the Diaphragm and clean both the ring and the diaphragm (see previous page).
3. Using a dry air spray, available from office supply stores and hardware stores, spray around the blue
circuit that you see when you've removed the diaphragm. Use the straw that's supplied with the spray
can. Do it well, but don't overdo it.
4. Allow the open stethoscope to dry out for a couple of minutes or more if you're in a humid environ-
ment.
5. Replace the diaphragm (see instructions previous page). READ THEM - they're important!
6. Turn on your stethoscope and check the sound quality. If you're hearing strange sounds, give it a few
minutes to dry out more, especially in humid environments, then try again.
7. If repeated cleaning does not correct any noise problems, contact us. If your One stethoscope sounds
good, you've probably cleaned your stethoscope successfully.
NOTE:
A. DO NOT use liquids to clean inside the One stethoscope.
B. If liquids/dirt entered other areas of your stethoscope, such as via the headphone jack, contact us
before dismantling!!! http://support.thinklabs.com
