Turning your Phone Clip 2 ON and OFF
To turn ON your Phone Clip 2 slide the ON/ OFF switch (1 on
page 8) down to the ON position. A white ”I” icon will be visible
on the base of the switch and the LED indicator will now blink
green every 2,5 seconds.
To turn it OFF, slide the ON/OFF switch up to the OFF position.
The LED will now stop blinking.
If battery level is low the LED will blink yellow every 2 seconds
indicating that the unit should be recharged.
Pairing to hearing instruments i
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 Phone Clip 2 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 Phone Clip 2 is turned on. Your hearing instru-
Getting Started
Charging the Battery
Before using your Phone Clip 2, you
need to fully charge the rechargeable
battery.
To charge it, plug the charging cable
into the Phone Clip 2 as shown in the
picture to the right.
Then plug the other end of the charg-
ing cable into a power outlet.
During the charging process, the
light indicator (LED) at the top of the
Phone Clip 2 will show a solid red light.
When fully charged and still connected to the charger, the LED
will turn solid green interrupted by a red blink every 2 seconds.
Charging an empty battery typically takes around 3 hours. It is
safe to leave the charger connected overnight – the battery can-
not be overcharged.
• When charging your Phone Clip 2 for the first time, leave it
to charge for at least 3 hours, even if the battery indica-
tor shows that the unit is fully charged (see section about
“Light indicators”).
• For safety reasons, recharge the battery only with chargers
supplied by Interton.
Do not charge the Interton Phone Clip 2
while it is on your body.

ments must be OFF – this is done by opening the battery
door on the hearing instrument(s).
2. Remove the silver cap from the Phone Clip 2. With the tip of
a pen or similar object, press the small white pairing button
one time on the back of your Phone Clip 2 (see picture to
the right). The LED will now blink
yellow every 2 seconds to
indicate that is ready to be
paired to your hearing instru-
ments. Your Phone Clip 2 will
remain in pairing mode for
20 seconds.
3. While pairing mode is active,
close the battery doors on
both hearing instruments
and make sure they are ON.
A successful pairing will be indicated by an audible melody
played in both hearing instruments. Also the LED on the
Phone Clip will remain lit (yellow) for 2 seconds.
Bluetooth Pairing
If your mobile phone is Bluetooth-enabled and supports the
appropriate profiles, it can communicate with the Phone Clip 2
only after completing two simple procedures: pairing and con-
necting.
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 Phone Clip 2.
You can pair up to 8 Bluetooth devices with the Phone Clip 2, but
only 2 Bluetooth devices can be connected/active at a time.
The pairing procedure is described in the following section.
Once a mobile phone is permitted to communicate with the
Phone Clip 2 by the pairing procedure, the connection proce-
dure configures the device to actually output its audio signal
over the Bluetooth connection. This procedure is also described
in the following section.
Pairing to your 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.

14 15
Your Phone Clip 2 should now be paired to your mobile phone.
Some mobile phones may ask which Bluetooth service you
wish to enable. Select “Headset”.
Connecting
Once your mobile phone and Phone Clip 2 are paired, the mo-
bile phone may need 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 Phone Clip 2 and select “Connect”.
When your Phone Clip 2 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 Phone Clip 2 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 gets out of range, you may have to perform the connec-
tion procedure again.
On some phones 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.
1. Turn you Phone Clip 2 ON and remove the silver cap. Place
your mobile phone next to the Phone Clip 2, and make sure
your phone is ON.
2. Find the connectivity settings on your phone. Look for the
“Bluetooth” feature in the main menu or one of the sub
menus, such as “Connectivity”.
3. On your mobile phone, ensure that Bluetooth is turned ON.
4. With the tip of a pen or similar object, press the small blue
Bluetooth pairing button one time on the back of your
Phone Clip 2 (see picture below). Now the Phone Clip 2 will
be in Bluetooth pairing mode for two minutes.
5. On the mobile phone choose to search for Bluetooth
devices.
6. Your mobile phone should present a list of Bluetooth de-
vices discovered. Select “Hearing Aid Phone” from this list.
7. Your mobile phone may then ask you to enter a passcode.
If so, enter “0000” (four
zeros).

Your Phone Clip 2 battery can be recharged hundreds of times.
If the operating time reduces substantially, please contact your
hearing care professional.
Wearing Your Phone Clip 2
Clip your Phone Clip 2 on your sweater, jacket or other clothing
so that the microphone inlet (7 on page 9) faces upwards. This
ensures that the microphones in the Phone Clip 2 are places
optimally to pick up your voice during phone conversations.

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-en-
abled device is defined by “profiles”. The device you wish to use
with your Phone Clip 2 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.
The Phone Clip 2 has a swivel clip to ensure that you can always
place it so that the microphone inlet faces upwards towards the
mouth.
For optimal voice pickup keep the device within a range of 10-
30cm from your mouth.

24 25
Bluetooth Operating Range
In free air, your Phone Clip 2 supports Bluetooth operation 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 sup-
port a more limited range than the 10 meters supported by
the Phone Clip 2
If your mobile phone moves out of range, the connection will
be terminated. If the device is then moved again within the
range, the Phone Clip 2 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.
