Information for Volunteers

Thanks to all of our KidSight volunteers we screened more than 30,000 children in the 2010-2011 year.  You did a fantastic job!

Screening has begun for the 2011-2012 school year.  New volunteers are welcome and needed.  There are lots of children to screen in Colorado!  Volunteer opportunities are flexible and are available during the week as well as on weekends.

How to Determine if your SureSight Battery is still Good

According to Welch Allyn use the following procedure to determine if your battery is good:

1.  Put the SureSight in the charger and plug in.  If you see yellow lights on the screener it is receiving a charge.

2.  Charge the battery for a full 12 hour period.

3.  After the charge keep the screener "working" for a full 20 minutes.  This means you must immediately turn the screener back on every time

     it "times out".  Continue doing this for the full 20 minutes.

4.  If the screener comes on after the 20 minutes is over the battery is fine.

SureSight Amplifier

Having trouble hearing the sounds of the SureSight screener?  KidSight has several amplifiers available that will amplify the sounds of the screener.  The amplifier is simple to use.  The amplifiers are also available at Radio Shack if you would like to purchase one.  Please contact Holly Rutherford-Allen, KidSight Executive Director at 720-325-7078 for more information.
