Adaptor cords are used to connect the FM-CI
adaptor to the various speech processors. Cords
are available with different lengths and plug
styles to allow users flexibility when connecting
to their particular processor. Additional adaptors
and adaptor cords specific to the speech proces-
sor may be required to accommodate the FM
system. These can be obtained directly from the
CI manufacturer.

The FM-CI adaptor can be fitted to the speech
processors through a combination of the correct
adaptor cord, FM-CI gain setting, Amigo receiver
gain setting and Amigo receiver three position
switch. Additional adaptors and adaptor cords
specific to the speech processor may be required
to accommodate an FM system. These can be
obtained directly from the CI manufacturer.
Consult the FM-CI fitting guide for more detailed
instructions. It may be necessary to make changes
in the speech processor program options to
accommodate an FM system and maximize user
benefits. Speech processor programming options
may vary from product to product and manufac-
turer to manufacturer.
Oticon recommends the FM-CI cochlear
implant adaptor be fitted by a Hearing Care
Professional trained to fit and program the
speech processor to which the adaptor will be
attached.
System setup IMPORTANT!
The cochlear implant speech processors and
FM systems contain sophisticated electronic
components. It is important to verify speech
processor functionality and FM system func-
tionality independently, prior to connecting the
systems together. (See page 18 for listening check
details).
Assuring independent system functionality will
greatly assist in fine tuning and troubleshooting.
System setup
8 9

Use a small screwdriver to open the tamper-
proof battery compartment on the FM-CI adaptor
and insert a size 13 battery. Note the polarity
markings on the battery door for proper battery
orientation.
Warning: Never change the battery in front of
infants, small children or people with learning
difficulties. If a battery is swallowed, see a doctor
immediately.
Inserting batteries Depending on how the processor is worn, it may
be necessary to experiment with different FM-CI
adaptor cords and FM-CI adaptor placement
to ensure an optimal balance between wearing
comfort and FM reception quality.
Wearing instructions
10 11

The FM-CI adaptor can be attached to your
clothing via the included clip. To ensure the best
FM reception, place the FM-CI adaptor on the
front of your chest.
Wearing instructions With body-worn processors you have two
wearing options:
Option 1:
Connect the adaptor to the processor using a
short cord. Attach the FM-CI adaptor directly to
the processor by removing the clothing clip and
using the hook and loop tape.
Option 2:
Connect the adaptor to the processor using a
long cord. Attach the FM-CI adaptor to the user’s
clothing using the attached clothing clip.

The CI headpiece can be a source of electromag-
netic interference (EMI) and radio frequency (RF)
interference for FM receivers, depending on the
settings of the processor program. To optimise FM
reception, quality and transmission range the FM-
CI adaptor should be placed a minimum of
12 in/30 cm from the CI headpiece.
Wearing instructions
12In/
30cm
A listening check should be performed on the
FM system prior to connecting it to the CI speech
processor.
Using a hearing instrument with an FM adaptor:
• Attach audio shoe to the hearing instrument.
• Attach the Amigo receiver to the audio shoe
and switch to the ”o” position.
• Turn on the hearing instrument and the Amigo
FM transmitter and begin speaking into the
microphone. Listen to the audio output using
stetoclips to avoid feedback.

compatibility visit www.oticon.com. Ensure the
hearing instrument battery is new, the Amigo
transmitter batteries are fully charged and the
Amigo receiver and transmitter are on the same
channel.
FM system listening check Processor Checklist

Troubleshooting
16 17

No FM Signal
• Turn the processor OFF, then ON to reset the
processor
• Verify that the Amigo receiver gain is on the
correct setting
• Verify that the Amigo transmitter and receiver
are ON and are on the same channel
• Verify that the processor and FM-CI adaptor
have new batteries and that the Amigo trans-
mitter is fully charged
Intermittent Sound
• Turn the processor OFF, then ON to reset the
processor
• Verify that the processor and FM-CI adaptor
have new batteries and that the Amigo trans-
mitter is fully charged
• Verify the Amigo receiver is firmly attached to
the FM adaptor and that the FM adaptor cords
are firmly attached to the processor
• If an accessory microphone is being used for
the transmitter, make sure that the connections
are clean, firmly attached and the cord is not
damaged.
Short FM Range
• For maximum range, the Amigo transmitter
should have the external antenna (or micro-
phone cord) attached and it should be hanging
freely. Do not coil or wrap the antenna around
the transmitter
Static/Interference
• Verify that the correct adaptor cord is being
used
• Change transmitter and receiver channels
• Remove obstructions between transmitter
and receiver
• Move away from sources of EMI (electromag-
netic interference): fluorescent lights, computer
monitors, televisions, some digital cell phones,
etc.

Amigo parts can be dangerous if swallowed:
• The Amigo system is not a toy and therefore
should be kept out of the reach of children and
anyone else who might swallow parts or other-
wise cause injury to themselves. Special atten-
tion should be paid to the smaller components
in order to prevent children from swallowing
them and perhaps choking.
• Never change the battery and never connect the
receiver to the hearing instrument in front of
infants, small children or persons with learning
difficulties.
If a part is swallowed, see a doctor immediately.
