Microphone DM05
Introduction to the Comfort Digisystem
Thank you for choosing Comfort Digisystem.
The products are easy to use, whether you use a hearing aid or not.
Before using the product, please read this User Manual carefully.
Using the Microphone DM05 transmitter, the signal is transferred digitally,
resulting in an excellent clear sound.
Comfort Digisystem is fitted with SecureStream Technology - a type of digital
technology allowing eavesdrop-secure radio transfer in real time.
Presenting the Microphone DM05
The Microphone DM05 is the world's smallest wireless microphone for the
digital transfer of sound to earpieces. This radio signal is encoded so that no
one else can hear what is being said. The microphone is extremely discreet
and can be simply attached to clothes with a clip.
The Microphone DM05 is equipped with a voice AGC (Automatic Gain Control)
to maintain a comfortable sound level at all times.
The DM05 is pre-programmed with 10 channels.
Additional channels can be used in combination with other Digisystem
products.

Getting Started
Charging
The Microphone DM05 is chargeable. Charge the DM05 at least two hours
before you use it for the first time. An empty battery is fully charged within
two hours.
During charging, the function indicator shows red. Once the function indicator
shows green the unit is fully charged and switches to automatic float
charging. The unit is automatically switched off when charging.
You must not change the battery yourself; please contact your point of pur-
chase.
INPUT 5V 220mA

Switch on the transmitter by pressing the On/Off button for around two
seconds. Function indicator ON.
The Microphone DM05 s a microphone for closer range. It works best within
approx. 30 cm.
Attach the DM05 to your clothes using the clip. The DM05 is supplied with a
neck pendant, which can be connected to the unit to make sure that you do
not drop it.
Other functions are explained later in this manual.
WARNING!
The necklace should not be used if there is a risk of getting stuck,
e.g. in a machine or other objects.

Settings
As the DM05 does not have a display/menu, the unit's functions are controlled
by means of the pairing button.
The current function is displayed by the function indicator.
In addition to the pairing functions (see section Pairing ), there is also the fa-
cility to activate three modes.
To do this, press the pairing button and hold it down
immediately after starting up the unit (within two
seconds).
A selected mode can always be cancelled by switching off the DM05 and start-
ing it up again.
Change channel
When the pairing button is held down for five seconds, the function indicator
shows a constant green light.
If you release the pairing button when the function indicator is green, the
Change channel mode is activated.
Press the pairing button briefly the number of times corresponding to the
desired channel (1-10), see section Radio Range and Channels .
After a pause of two seconds, the entry process ends and the selected
channel is shown by the same number of green flashes in the function
indicator.

Change code
If the pairing button is instead held down for ten seconds, the function
indicator will switch to a red light.
If you release the pairing button when the function indicator is red, Change
code mode is activated.
Press the pairing button twice in quick succession to generate a random code,
and at the same time the pairing information is transmitted (make sure that
other Digisystem units to be paired are activated to receive pairing informa-
tion).
Five red flashes in the function indicator confirm that the pairing information
(channel and code) has been sent.
Factory reset
If the pairing button is instead held down for 20 seconds, the function
indicator will switch to an alternating red and green light. The Factory reset
mode is now activated.
To perform a factory reset, press the pairing button once quickly. The function
indicator flashes the number of times corresponding to the channel, see
section Radio Range and Channels.
The channel and code are now reset to the factory settings.
Pair
Microphone DM05 must be paired using the pairing button, see section
Pairing (via pairing button) .
Pairing
To use a receiver and transmitter together, they must be paired. All
transmitters and receivers are default paired at the factory and will work
together.
NB! To prevent eavesdropping, a new code key must be generated and
transmitted between the units by pairing.
Transmitting/receiving of pairing information along with a new code can be
performed from any Comfort Digisystem unit with a display.
To pair units without a display, see sections Pairing (via pairing button) .
Pairing information or a new code key can be received by several activated
units.

Pairing (via menu)
1. Choose Communication - Pair
2. Select Receive info on one unit. Ready to receive pairing info is shown in
the display.
3. Select New code on the other unit; select Yes.
4. Generate new code and send info? is shown in the display. Select Yes
(Now both the channel and the coding information have been sent, and
sound transfer is eavesdrop-secure).
5. To pair another unit into your coded system, select Send info instead on
one of your paired units.
Pairing (via pairing button)
(The only way of pairing units without a display, with the pairing button)
You can activate the Pairing function via the pairing button.
1. One brief press of the button opens the Pairing menu.
2. Two brief presses activate the Send info function.
3. One long press activates the Receive info function.
Units with both transmitters and receivers built in
Comfort Digisystem units with both transmitters and receivers built-in can be
paired separately.
When opening the pairing menu, choose the concerning unit (transmitter/
receiver). In units with both transmitters and receivers, the pairing button
controls the transmitter.
The transmitter and receiver are paired separately in these units. The code
key is always the same for the transmitter and the receiver when these are
built-in in the same unit.
The easiest way to get the same code key in the whole Digisystem is to
generate a new code key from the combined unit; in that way the built-in
receiver gets the same code as the rest of the system.

More Functions
Function indicator (LED)
The function indicator shows the unit's status depending on its setting.
When the DM05 starts, the function indicator shows which channel is selected
(1-10) by flashing green 1-10 times. If another channel has been paired in,
this is indicated by the green lamp lighting for four seconds when the unit is
started up.
On normal operation the indicator flashes every other second.
During charging the indicator shows red.
When the charging is completed, the indicator shows green.
When the battery gets low, the indicator flashes red every other second.
Once the unit has been set to receive pairing information, the indicator
flashes green quickly.
When receiving pairing information, the indicator shows green for four
seconds.
When sending pairing information, the indicator flashes red five times.
A constant green light indicates Change channel mode.
A constant red light indicates Change code mode.
An alternating red/green light indicates Factory reset mode.

Radio Range and Channels
The transmitter and receiver have built-in antennas. The radio range
between the units is around 30 metres. This may however vary depending
on the particular environment you are in. Like all radio systems, Comfort
Digisystem communicates on specific channels. If you use two transmitters
on the same channel or a neighbouring one, there may be interference. Other
electronic equipment can also interfere with radio transmissions.
In most European countries, channels 1-3 (863.250 - 864.750 MHz) may be
used for hearing products. However, you should always check with the
frequency assignment authority in your own country which channels are free
and which require a licence.

Troubleshooting
The transmitter and receiver do not start
Charge the transmitter and receiver. Remember to press the On/Off button
down for 2 seconds to switch the unit on. Check that the charger is connected
to the plug socket.
Poor speech intelligibility
The distance between the transmitter and the receiver may be too long. The
range is around 30 metres. The distance between the microphone and the
person who is talking may also be too long; move the microphone nearer to
the person talking. Try to change channel/environment.
Poor range and interference
In some environments involving, e.g., concrete, iron or sheet metal
structures, the range may be reduced. There may also be equipment
nearby causing interference. Change channel.
No sound
Check that the transmitter and receiver are set to the same channel.
Loud hissing noise (no sound transfer)
Check that the units are paired.
