is charged you can use the unit for up to 16 hours. The transmitter
can be charged during use.

play blinks. When the battery symbol is full Comfort Contego is
fully charged and charging ceases. You can not change the battery

Radio range and channels
The aerials for the transmitter and receiver are built in. The range
is up to 25 meters. This can vary depending on the kind of environ-
ment 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 trans-
missions.
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 nd out which channels are permitted in differ-
ent countries.
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:
Headphones or earphones
Headphones or earphones can be connected in the same way as
described above.

Meetings
In a meeting with more than two people you put the transmitter
in its omni-directional setting on the table. The receiver can also
be placed on the table in order to listen to those nearest you. You
use the receiver with headphones or neck loop and hearing aid to
listen.
When it is just you and one other person you set the transmitter to
the directional setting on the other person and you use the receiver
to listen.
In a shop - short distances
When the distance between you and the person you want to hear is
short or it is just a quick meeting, you can use the receiver on the
directional setting and aim it at the person you want to hear. In a
café or similar situation you can also place the receiver on the table
and listen.
This is an easy and simple way to use the Comfort Contego.

person you want to hear (Set it to directional with the microphone
aimed upwards.) Use the receiver to listen.

front seat uses the receiver. You listen by using headphones or
neck loop and hearing aid.

Contego transmitter (T900).
(Make sure the transmitter is set
on “Line in”)
With the help of the built in mi-
crophone in the receiver you can
also listen to people sitting next
to you on the sofa.

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 com-
plete! 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.
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 setting. Always make sure that the receiver and the
transmitter are paired.
