About the Simulator
The Life/form®Auscultation Trainer Simulator features 28 heart and lung conditions selected by the
instructor by wireless remote control. The simulator duplicates human conditions as closely as modern
plastics and electronic technology allows.
The remote control does not have to be pointed directly at the manikin or SmartScope™ to operate. One
remote control will operate multiple sets of SmartScopes™ and manikins simultaneously. Great for group
instruction. The range of the remote control is up to 100 feet.
LF01172U includes amplified speaker. LF01142U does not include amplified speaker.

General Instructions for Use
1. To begin using the Auscultation Trainer, press
the red power button. This turns on the remote
control and sends a signal to activate the
SmartScope™ as well. After the unit is activated,
the display will be in the “status” mode, dis-
playing the current menu settings for the
heart and lung conditions.
2. To select a new condition, press either the
heart or lung button. This will put the display
into the menu mode. The user can select a condition by either using the number buttons, or by
viewing the conditions in sequence using the scroll button
3. After the condition is selected, press the enter button to activate.
The remote control can be programmed to these
heart conditions:
01 Normal Heart
02 Aortic regurgitation
03 Pulmonary stenosis
04 Mitral stenosis
05 Holosystolic
06 Mid-systolic
07 S3 Gallop
08 S4 Gallop
09 Systolic click

11 PDA
12 VSD
The remote control can be programmed to these
lung conditions:
01 Normal lung
02 Vesicular
03 Wheezes
04 Mono wheeze
05 Fine crackle
06 Coarse crackle
07 Ronchi crackle
08 Stridor
09 Cavernous

4. To listen to the selected sounds, place the
ear pieces in ears angled in a forward
position. Place the diaphragm of the
SmartScope™ over one of the appropriate
sites on the manikin. (See diagram on pages
4 & 5.)
5. As an alternative, an amplified speaker
(LF01189U, included with LF01172U) can be
used, allowing an entire classroom to hear
at the same time. To connect the speaker,
plug the speaker cord into the speaker jack
on the top of the SmartScope™ box. (See
figure 2.) When a speaker is connected
to the SmartScope™, the ear pieces will not
work. Place the diaphragm of the SmartScope™
over the appropriate sites on the manikin.
(See diagram on pages 4 & 5.)
6. Colored dots are included with the torso to aid
with teaching.
Care and Maintenance
•Clean torso when needed using Nasco
Cleaner (LF09919U).
•Store in hard carry case in a temperature
controlled environment, avoiding extreme hot
or cold temperatures.
•Replace batteries regularly for optimum working
condition.
•It is recommended that batteries are removed
when not in use.
• Avoid getting ink on torso simulator or practice
boards. Ink will transfer indelible stains.
Troubleshooting
• When preparing to use your SmartScope™
and remote, use batteries that are fully
charged and installed correctly. (See figure
3.) The SmartScope™ is not equipped with a
power button; this may drain the useful life of
your batteries.
• Due to frequency changes, Adult Auscultation
Trainer SmartScopes™ with serial numbers 0
to 4999 are only compatible with remotes
with serial numbers 0 to 4999. SmartScopes™
with serial numbers 5000 and up will only
work with remotes with serial numbers 5000
and up. The serial numbers are located on
the back of the device and are handwritten in
ink. (See figure 4.)

Common Causes of No Sounds
•Incorrect SmartScope™ placement. Move the
SmartScope™ slowly over the torso to locate
sensors. See diagrams on page 4 for placement
of sensors. You may apply color-coded dots on
the heart and lung sites to assist with training.
(See figure 5.)
•Ear tips facing the wrong way. Verify that the
ear tips of the SmartScope™are facing forward
in your ear canal.
•Battery replacement. After installing new
batteries, make sure to turn the remote off
and back on. This allows the remote and
SmartScope™ to reset.
Note: SmartScope™ does not turn off.
•Battery saver mode. The remote will go into
battery saver mode if left on the same setting
for 8 minutes. Sounds will not be heard if the
remote is off.
•Using multiple remotes. One remote will operate
all SmartScopes™ within 100 ft. simultaneously
as long as the serial numbers are compatible.
Using multiple remotes can cause interference.
(See figure 6.)
•Interference. Wireless communication from
another transmitter using 433 MHz may cause
sound selection issues or existing sounds to stop
or restart. Reset the remote by turning it off briefly,
then on again and select a different Heart or Lung
sound.
•Connecting an external speaker. Insert the jack
end of the speaker cord into the top of the
SmartScope™. (See figure 2.)
•Using an external speaker. When using an
amplifier/speaker, no sounds will be heard
through the SmartScope™ ear tips.
•Check volume. Make sure the volume on the
amplifier/speaker is turned up.
