Pairing to hearing instruments
Note! The following information is intended primarily for your
hearing care professional, who in most cases will complete the
tasks that are necessary before the Interton Phone Clip can be
used with your hearing instruments. However, the process is
designed to be simple and should be easily accomplished by
almost anyone.
1. Make sure Interton Phone Clip is turned on. Your hearing in-
struments must be off – open the battery door.
Getting Started
Charging the Battery
Before using your Interton Phone
Clip, you need to fully charge the
rechargeable battery. To charge
it, plug the charging cable as
shown in the picture below. Then
plug the other end of the charging
cable into a power outlet.
During the charging process, the
LED indicator will show a solid red
light. A solid green light will indi-
cate the fully charged status.
Charging an empty battery typi-
cally takes about 3 hours. It is
safe to leave the charger con-
nected overnight – the battery cannot be overcharged.
• When charging your Interton Phone Clip for the first time, leave
it to charge for at least 3 hours, even if the battery indicator
turns into a solid green light earlier.
• For safety reasons, recharge the battery only with chargers
supplied by Interton.
Do not charge the Interton Phone Clip while it
is on your body.

Bluetooth Pairing
If your mobile phone is Bluetooth-enabled and supports the
appropriate profiles, it can communicate with the Interton Phone
Clip only after completing two simple procedures: pairing and
connecting.
The pairing procedure allows you to control which Bluetooth
devices are permitted to communicate with each other. It needs
to be completed only once for each device you wish to use with
your Interton Phone Clip.
You can pair up to 8 Bluetooth devices with the Phone Clip, but
only 1 Bluetooth device can be connected at a time.
The pairing procedure is described in the section which follows.
Once a mobile phone is permitted to communicate with the
Interton Phone Clip by the pairing procedure, the connection pro-
cedure configures the device to actually output its audio signal
over the Bluetooth connection. This procedure is also described
in the section which follows.
Pairing to mobile phone
The pairing procedure is controlled by your mobile phone.
Different mobile phones have different menu structures. You
should therefore refer to your mobile phone’s manual if you
cannot complete the pairing procedure with the generic steps
described here.
2. With the tip of a pen or similar object, press the small pairing
button on the back of your Interton Phone Clip device hidden
by the bottom cover (see picture below). Press shortly until the
LED indicator turns to solid blue. Your Interton Phone Clip will
remain in pairing mode for 20 seconds.
3. While pairing mode is activated, close the battery doors of
both hearing aids and make sure they are ON. A successful
pairing will be indicated by an audible melody played in both
hearing aids. You are now ready to use the Interton Phone
Clip!
ON and OFF
To turn ON your Interton Phone Clip, press and hold the multi-
functional button (5 on page 9) for about 1 second until you see
the LED indicator displaying a solid blue light. The blue light will
be on for 4 seconds.
To turn it OFF, press and hold the multifunctional button for about
3 seconds until the LED indicator flashes quickly 4 times and then
goes dark.

14 15
1. The Interton Phone Clip is OFF. Place your mobile phone next
to the Phone Clip, and make sure your phone is ON.
Press and hold the multifunctional button on the Phone
Clip for 7 seconds. The LED will now be solid blue for two
minutes indicating that Bluetooth pairing mode is active. The
Interton Phone Clip will be in Bluetooth pairing mode only in
the first two minutes after having been turned ON.
2. Find the connectivity settings of your phone. Look for the
“Bluetooth” feature in the main menu or one of the submenus,
such as “Connectivity”.
3. On your mobile phone, ensure that the Bluetooth is turned
ON.
4. On the mobile phone choose to search for Bluetooth devices.
5. Your mobile phone should present a list of Bluetooth devices
discovered. Select “Hearing Aid Phone” from this list.
6. Your mobile phone may then ask you to enter a passcode. If
so, enter “0000” (four zeros).
Your Interton Phone Clip should now be paired to your mobile
phone. Some mobile phones may ask which Bluetooth service
you wish to enable. enable, select “Headset”.
Connecting
Once your mobile phone and Interton Phone Clip are paired, the
mobile phone needs to be connected before it will actually send
the appropriate audio signals.
This function should also appear in your mobile phone’s “Blue-
tooth” menu, usually under a list of “Paired Devices”. In that list,
highlight your Interton Phone Clip and select “Connect”.
• When your Interton Phone Clip and mobile phone are connected,
you may see a headset symbol on the main screen of your
mobile phone, similar to this:
The connection between the Interton Phone Clip and the mobile
phone will be maintained for as long as both devices are turned
ON and remain within range of each other. If either device is
switched OFF or moves out of range, you may have to perform
the connection procedure again.
On some phone you can configure “Automatic Reconnection”.
We recommend that you do so if the feature is available. Refer to
the user guide of your mobile phone for instructions on how to do
this if supported.

To reject incoming calls press the multifunction button twice on
the Phone Clip.
You can also reject calls by pressing the reject button on your
mobile phone.
Making a Call
Initiating a phone call is not any different with or without Interton
Phone Clip: Simply use the mobile phone keyboard to enter or
select the number to dial.
If connected, the phone streaming mode will be activated auto-
matically, and you will hear the ringing tones in the hearing instru-
ments
Ending a Call
To end a call via your Interton Phone Clip, briefly press the multi-
functional button. The call will terminate and your hearing instru-
ments will return to the last used program.
You can also end calls by pressing the appropriate button on your
mobile phone.
Basic Use
Accept and Reject Calls
Turn the device ON. When a call is received on your mobile phone,
the Bluetooth indicator will flash and after a certain delay you will
hear the ringing tone in your hearing instruments.
To accept the incoming call, briefly press the multifunctional
button on your Interton Phone Clip. If you are wearing two hearing
instruments, the caller’s voice will be streamed to both of them.
You can also accept calls by pressing the accept button on your
mobile phone.
• If desired, your hearing care professional can set your hear-
ing aids’ microphones to remain ON even in the event of
an incoming call, so to mix the phone streamed signal with
external sound.
• In case you are also using a Interton TV (optional), please
notice that mobile phone calls will always take priority
over other audio sources. In the event of an incoming
phone call, the Interton TV will be temporarily stopped. It
will be automatically resumed once the phone call has been
terminated.

With the tip of a pen or similar object, press the small pairing but-
ton on the back of your Interton Phone Clip device hidden by the
bottom cover (see picture below). Keep pressed for at least 10
seconds and when released, the device is reset.
Volume Control
Your Interton Phone Clip has an easy to operate volume control
(1 on page 8) for increasing or decreasing the loudness of the
streamed signal.
Depending on the phone, you can also utilize the volume control
that is built in your mobile phone.
It is also possible to use the Interton Remote Control (optional) to
adjust the volume.

Introduction to Bluetooth
What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth provides a way for devices like mobile phones to com-
municate wirelessly.
First, check whether the phone you wish to use offers Bluetooth
connectivity. Look for the following symbol on the device or its
user guide.
Second, the range of possible applications on a Bluetooth-
enabled device is defined by “profiles”. The device you wish to
use with your Interton Phone Clip must support the appropriate
Bluetooth profiles.
To receive or place phone calls your mobile phone must support
either the “handsfree” or the “headset” profile. Many, but not all
mobile phones support these Bluetooth profiles. Look for this
information in your mobile phone user guide.
Bluetooth Operating Range
In free air, your Interton Phone Clip supports Bluetooth op-
eration up to a range of approximately 10 meters. Line-of-sight
between the devices is not required. However, the following
factors may affect the maximum range:
• Interference in the environment
• The mobile phone which you are connecting to may support
a more limited range than the 10 meters supported by the
Interton Phone Clip
If your mobile phone moves out of range, the connection will
be terminated. If the device is then moved again within the range,
the Interton Phone Clip will attempt to re-establish connection.
Whether it achieves to do so will depend on delay since the link
was broken and on the mobile phone properties.
