Selection Chart for Acoustic Options
All BTE models covered in this Fitting Guide can either be tted with a conventional earhook or with a
thin tube system. Traditional earhooks are used with a custom earmold.
The thin tube systems can be combined with a variety of different domes and customized earpieces.
All Compact Power Plus, Compact Power, Power, Micro and Nano BTEs can be tted with the Spira
Flex and the miniFit thin tube system.
Please note that, for each BTE model, in the tting software only one set of options (either Spira Flex
or miniFit) is given. However, the table below will help you make the appropriate selection when you
wish to use the other set of options.

Using the FM Adapter
The Compact Power Plus, Compact Power, and Power BTE hearing instruments are compatible with
all commonly available ear level FM systems (FM receivers). The connection is established via the
Europlug.
Choose the FM adapter also when attaching a CROS microphone unit to the hearing instrument.
Using the DAI Adapter
Direct Audio Input (DAI) enables the hearing aid to receive signals directly from external sources such
as a TV, personal stereo, PC audio output, MP3 player, etc.
The DAI Adapter offers a Euro-
plug connection to establish a
wired coupling via the DAI cord
to an external source.
The DAI Adapter comes with two adjustable trimmers.
Use the trimmer on the front to
adjust the individual volume.
The trimmer on the top selects
the input impedance.

FittingLINK
Programming with FittingLINK
FittingLINK is a wireless programming interface which allows tting of all wireless hearing
instruments. FittingLINK is connected to the PC via the provided dedicated Bluetooth®dongle or USB
cable.
The FittingLINK Instructions for Use, provided in the packaging contains important information about
the product, its functions and pairing it with the PC. Please read the Instructions for Use carefully
before using FittingLINK with Oasis.
Getting Started
Please prepare FittingLINK and pair it with your PC, as described in the FittingLINK Instructions for
Use.
When opening Oasis the rst time after FittingLINK has been installed on the PC, it will automatically
be detected as a programming interface. A dialog will offer to change your preferred programming
interface to FittingLINK. This can be done any time later in Preferences – Communication. Thereafter
FittingLINK can be used in Oasis.

18
Detecting and Programming Hearing Instruments
Make sure that FittingLINK is paired with your PC, fully charged, and switched on (steady green light
on the top LED indicator). For safety reasons the hearing instruments should not be in the client’s ear
during detection. To ensure a good connection, make sure that the hearing instruments are aligned
the correct way towards the FittingLINK neck loop antenna. Refer to the FittingLINK Instructions for
Use.
Open Oasis and click Detect. If FittingLINK is not selected as the default programming interface,
select the FittingLINK option from the pull down menu besides the Detect button.
Verify Right and Left Hearing Instruments
In the Detect Hearing Instruments dialog, you can play a tone in each hearing instrument to identify
to which side it is currently assigned. If the assignment is correct, click “Next”. If you would like to
change the assignment, click “Exchange” and then click “Next”.
Thereafter the tting process is the same.
For troubleshooting, please also refer to the FittingLINK Instructions for Use.
