Getting started
Charging
Comfort Contego contains a rechargeable battery. Charge the
transmitter and the receiver for at least 4 hours before using them
for the first time.
An empty battery takes about 4 hours to charge. When the battery
is charged you can use the unit for up to 20 hours. The transmitter
can be charged during use.
To charge:
When the battery is being charged the battery symbol on the display
blinks. When the battery symbol is full Comfort Contego is fully
charged and charging ceases. Changing the battery without the as-
sistance of an authorized dealer will void the Limited
Warranty.
Use only the Comfort Audio charger that is supplied.
Starting to use the Comfort Contego
1. When the Comfort Contego is
fully charged - start the receiver
by pressing the button for about
2 seconds, until the indicator bar
in the display is fully lit up.
2. Then connect the neck loop
and turn the hearing aid to the
T position. Use the headphones
instead of the neck loop if you
don’t use hearing aids.

and the speaker /sound source is
longer, let the person you want to
hear use the transmitter.

Radio range and channels
The aerials for the transmitter and receiver are built in.
The range is up to 30 meters (up to 100 feet). This can vary
depending on the kind of environment you are in.
Like all radio transmitters Comfort Contego communicates on
special channels. If you use two transmitters on the same channel
there will be an interference.
Other electronic equipment can also interfere with the
radio transmissions.
The channel that you use in your country is perhaps not permitted
abroad. Always get in touch with your hearing aid provider in
your country in order to find out which channels are permitted in
different countries.
Comfort Audio is not liable for unauthorized use of radio
waves, such as, but not limited to: interferences with police
communication, or strategic communication, military
installations etc.
Neck loop
With a neck loop connected to the receiver you can listen with a
hearing aid set on the T position.
Connect the neck loop
or the extension cable
to the receiver.
Make sure that you attach
the receiver’s clip to the
security loop on the neck loop
for better performance.
Injuries may occur if loop gets caught. Keep the neck loop
away from objects representing a danger like moving machiner-
ies, steering wheel while driving, elevator doors etc. Do not use the
neck loop during sport activities or play.
Headphones or earphones
Headphones or earphones can be connected in the same way as
described above.

Special functions
Add a receiver / more receivers
If you want to use more than one receiver to listen with this is not
a problem (e.g. during a guided tour.) In order to add a receiver go
into the menu on the extra receiver, Choose Pair. Then go into the
menu of the transmitter. Choose Pair and press OK. Pair complete!
The new receiver can then be used to listen with.
Tip: - More than one receiver can be paired at the same time.
- Instead of using the transmitter menu you can pair by
pushing two quick times on the menu button on the
transmitter.
Watching TV
In order to be able to hear the TV or other sources of sound you can
use the sound kit. You can then listen with the receiver.
Troubleshooting
Transmitter and receiver do not start.
Charge the transmitter and the receiver. Remember that you must
hold the ON/OFF button in for 2 seconds in order to start Comfort
Contego. If it still does not work - check the charger is connected to
the mains. Contact your retailer to change the battery.
Poor speech reception
The distance between the transmitter and the receiver is too long.
The distance between the microphone and the person speaking can
also be too long.
Poor range and interference
In certain environments consisting of concrete, iron and metal
plates, the range can be reduced. There can also be interfering
equipment nearby. Change channel.
If you change channel on the transmitter the receiver must be on
and within the transmitters range to follow the channel switch.
NOTE
If you use a hearing aid make sure that it is working and that it is
in the T-coil setting. Always make sure that the receiver and the
transmitter are paired.
Connect the cable (A) between the TV and
the socket on the Contego transmitter
(T900). (Make sure the transmitter is set on
“Line in”)
With the help of the built in microphone in
the receiver you can also listen to people
sitting next to you on the sofa.

Talking on the phone
In order to hear better when you are talking on the
phone, use the Comfort Contego Telephone kit and
connect it to your landline telephone and the transmitter.
