Warnings
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 otherwise cause injury to themselves.
Special attention should be paid to the smaller components in order to prevent children
from swallowing them and choking.
• Never change the battery and never connect the receiver to the hearing aid in front of
infants, small children or persons with learning difficulties.
If a part is swallowed, see a doctor immediately.

8 9
Battery use:
• Always use NiMH rechargeable batteries or alkaline batteries.
• Always use batteries recommended by your Hearing Care Professional.
• Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
• Never dispose of batteries by burning them. There is a risk they will explode and cause
serious injury.
Do not damage batteries:
• Batteries should not be dropped, crushed, punctured, modified or otherwise mutilated.
Such abuse may result in leakage or heat generation. Damaged or
deformed batteries must be replaced with new and unused ones of the same type.
Risk of harm caused by unintentional noise that may mue important signals
System dysfunctions:
• The Amigo system will cease to function if the batteries have run out. The system may
also produce a high whistling noise (feedback) if the battery is low, or if it is subjected
to loud sound while the microphone is off but the receiver is still on. Users should be
aware that these sounds should not be confused with warning sounds – e.g. car horns
in traffic.
Use in aircrafts:
• Amigo should not be used on aircrafts without the permission of the flight crew.
Please note that Amigo can cause interference with other medical devices. Such
interference can also be caused by radio signals, power line disturbances, airport
metal detectors, electromagnetic fields from other medical devices and electrostatic dis-
charges.

10 11
Optional Accessories:
A number of optional accessories are available for Amigo T5 as shown below:
T5:
• Directional lapel microphone
• Boom microphone
• Antenna
• 6-unit charger
Safety requirements regarding Direct Audio Input (DAI)
• Safety when using Amigo with DAI (Direct Audio Input) is determined by the external
signal source. When the DAI is connected to AC-operated equipment, this equipment
must comply with IEC-60065, IEC-60601 or equivalent safety standards.
For FCC Part 15 / RSS Gen&210:
“This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:(1) This device may not cause harm-
ful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation”
For FCC Part 95.1017:
‘‘This device may not interfere with TV reception or Federal Government radar.”
For RSS 210:
“If TV channel 13 is used in the area, the installer shall reduce or adjust the RF radiated
power so that near-by TV channel 13 receivers do not receive radio interference from the
system installed”.

Preparing your Amigo system
Inserting the batteries
To insert the two AAA batteries, remove the battery lid on the back of the transmitter
and/or receiver and position the batteries according to the markings (+/ -).
Having done this, replace the battery lid. The Amigo T5 can then be charged.
Note: The positive and negative ends of the battery may appear similar, so do
double-check that the battery are positioned correctly.
Charging the batteries
The Amigo T5 comes with two AAA rechargeable NiMH silver-sleeved batteries,
which must be charged for 14 hours before being used for the first time. You can
replace the batteries with any of the following:
• Special “silver-sleeved” rechargeable batteries
Only available through your Hearing Care Professional, these are the only batteries
that can be recharged inside the Amigo T5.
• Standard, rechargeable NiMH batteries
Although these cannot be recharged inside the Amigo T5, they can be removed for
charging in an external charger purchased from an electronics store.
• Standard, non-rechargeable alkaline batteries
Can be used in an emergency, i.e. if you don’t have time to charge your rechargeable
batteries. But do remember that alkaline batteries must never be recharged.
Note: Always dispose of old batteries in approved battery disposal bins since it may be
illegal to dispose of them in ordinary bins. For more information please consult your
Hearing Care Professional.

14 15
To charge the batteries, plug the charger into the charger plug on the top of the unit as
shown in the picture below.
Please note that the Amigo T5 must be switched OFF when charging.
The Amigo T5 offers failsafe charging, which prevents alkaline batteries from being
charged.
Note: Rechargeable batteries should be replaced once every year, to maintain full bat-
tery life.
Changing channels
Amigo T5 transmitter
To change the channel on your Amigo T5 transmitter, you must unlock the channel select
buttons by holding down one of the channel selection buttons on the front of the unit for
2 seconds (the display will blink once). The channel selection buttons will then be
unlocked allowing you to change the channel by pressing either the up
or down button.
If the channel selection buttons are not activated for a
period of approximately 2 seconds, the channel selec-
tion buttons will be re-locked (the display blinks once)
to avoid unintentional channel change. To unlock the
channel selection buttons again, hold down one of the
channel selection buttons on the front of the unit for 2
seconds (the display will blink once).

16 17
LED and Display indicator
The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) and the display on the Amigo T5 not only indicates that
the power is on, but also shows:
LED Meaning
Steady Green Charging
Steady Red On & Transmitting/Receiving
Blinking Green Low battery
T5 Blinking Red Muted
Off Off or error
Using the Amigo T5 together with Amigo Receivers
The Amigo T5 functions with all Amigo receivers as long as the channel of the transmit-
ter and the receiver are matched.
Please refer to Amigo Receiver Instructions For Use (IFU) for further instructions on how
to set up the Amigo receivers.

18 19
About channels
Your Amigo system is a radio device, and like any other radio, it communicates on specific
channels. Your transmitter and receiver must be on the same channel to work together.
Within close proximity, never operate two transmitters on the same channel – since this
will cause interference.
If you are travelling internationally, be aware that your channel may not be approved for
use in all countries. If you wish to use your T5 in a different country, you must contact
your Hearing Care Professional for help in changing the country set-up.
Some electronic devices (microwave ovens, mobile phones, other radio devices, comput-
ers, and flourescent lights, for example) can interfere with your Amigo signal.
Connecting the Amigo T5 to external audio sources
(TV, stereo etc.)
External audio sources can be connected to the Amigo T5 via the 3.5 mm jack AUX plug at
the top panel of the unit such as:
• Computer/Television
• CD/DVD/MP3 player
Furthermore, the Amigo T5 microphone can be
muted without muting the auxiliary input signal by
pressing down the mute button on the top panel of
the Amigo T5.
Note: Since the microphone also acts as the
antenna, you must use an external antenna if you
do not want the microphone to be connected during
an AUX transmission.

20 21
Microphone options
The Amigo T5 comes with a standard, omni, lapel-microphone that can be attached to
the lavaliere cord (see below). This allows you to either clip the microphone to your
clothes or wear it around the neck.
Optional Microphones
• Lapel-clip directional microphone
• Boom microphone
Note: Since the microphone also acts as the antenna, you must keep it attached during
operation and make sure that it does not get curled around the transmitter as this
reduces performance range.
Cleaning the Amigo T5
The Amigo T5 can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do remember that they contain
electronic components that may be damaged if exposed to water.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the
Amigo T5.
