A personal audio cable is plugged into the
larger socket on the top of the device. This is
used for leads from body worn FM systems and
other battery operated devices.
The other smaller socket on the top of the
device is for the listening headphones. For
information on how to use these, refer to the
‘Troubleshooting the Sprint’ section on this
website.
Turning on and off
Use the on/off button. After one second the LCD panel displays the
program number (and the listening control settings).
The segment meter should show 3-5
segments in response to sound.
The red indicator light should also respond
to sound.
Changing program
There are four possible programs labeled P1 to P4. Use the program
select button to select the program.
Select button
Use this button to alternate between volume, sensitivity and button
lock settings.
Microphone sensitivity
In a noisy environment the microphone sensitivity needs to be
decreased to filter out background noise.

Press the select button until a small ‘M’ is seen on the display panel.
Then use increase and decrease buttons to change the sensitivity
between 0 and 20. A typical setting would be ‘8’.
Autosensitivity
This adjusts the microphone sensitivity automatically depending on
the environment. To turn it on press the autosensitivity button. The
letter ‘A’ displays on the LCD.
Volume
To change the volume, press the select button until a triangular
volume symbol appears at the top of the LCD screen. Then use the
increase and decrease buttons to change the volume. A number
between 0 and 9 will be displayed below the symbol.
Button Lock
This prevents the settings from being changed accidentally or by
small hands. To set it, press the select button for several seconds
until you hear a long beep and a padlock symbol appears in the LCD.
To remove the button lock, press the select button again for several
seconds until you hear the beep and the symbol disappears.
Personal and Public alarms
If selected the public alarm emits sounds to inform a by-stander of
any changes to the processor.
To select the alarm, insert a pointed object into the options button.
Press down repeatedly to go through the options. A symbol will
appear in the LCD.
