ensuring they are placed the correct way round, as illustrated on diagram inside battery compartment.
2) Replace Battery cover securely (figure 2).
3) Fully insert the “stubby”microphone (c) or the microphone on lead (d) into socket (3) (figure 1).
Use the “stubby”microphone for one to one conversation meetings and taking out & about.
Or you can use the microphone on lead to pick up sound from a TV or radio by placing the microphone head by
the speaker. It can be kept in position by using the Velcro®pad provided (figure 3). To increase the distance the

user can be from the sound source, the 3 metre extension lead (e) can be connected between the MiniTech+TM
unit and the microphone. Up to 2 extension leads can be used to extend the distance between the MiniTech+TM
unit and the sound source. Care must be taken in positioning the leads to avoid the danger of tripping etc.
4) Fully insert headset or neck loop into socket (2) (figure 1).
5) If using neck loop, switch hearing aid to “T”position.
6) Set ON/OFF switch (4) to ON position, the LED Light (8) will show Green (figure 1).
7) Increase volume by gently pressing on pad (5). To reduce volume press pad (6).
IMPORTANT –If the volume does not increase switch the MiniTech+TM OFF and check that microphone and
headset or neck loop is inserted fully in the correct sockets before switching on again (figure 1).
8) To adjust tone, turn wheel (7) Anti-clockwise for treble boost. Clockwise for bass boost (figure 1).
PLEASE NOTE
When the unit is switched on, the Power indicator light (8) will show GREEN if dry cells are okay.
If Power indicator shows RED when switched on, or changes to RED when in use, then the dry cells are running low
and will need to be replaced within approximately 8 hours.
If there is no Light when the unit is switched on, this normally indicates the dry cells are completely discharged and
should be replaced.
Optional Combination Audio Lead (Purchased separately)
The combination lead can be used to connect the Echo MiniTech+TM directly to the SCART, Phono/Phono or
headphone sockets on a TV, CD, and Radio etc. instead of using a microphone. Care must be taken in positioning
the leads to avoid the danger of tripping etc.
