If you're experiencing low sound amplification through the stethoscope earpiece, check the following:
-
Make sure that the CORE is turned on so that the white light is on.
-
Press the ‘+’ button to increase the volume of the device.
-
Make sure that the chestpiece is rotated to the appropriate side so that the indicator mark is aligned with the side of the diaphragm that you’re using.
-
Make sure that Volume Boost is turned on in the Eko App. Navigate to the Quick Record screen and tap on Audio.
-
Toggle on Play from Headphones.
-
Make sure you're increasing the phone's sound volume. Adjusting the CORE volume will only affect the volume through the stethoscope earpiece.
-

Play from Headphones must be turned on in the Eko App settings.
-
Navigate to the Quick Record screen and tap Audio.

Use wired headphones plugged into your phone to get the best audio quality.
