INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Streamer Pro 1.1

Thank you
Thank you for choosing our product as your means to better hearing.
To support your efforts, we have put great care and attention into making sure that your
new Streamer has the highest quality and is easy to use and maintain.
The Streamer connects your hearing instruments wirelessly to different audio sources
and makes your hearing instruments work like wireless headphones. The Streamer
transmits the sound directly into both hearing instruments and thereby improves the
audio experience.
Information about the entire ConnectLine system is available online at www.oticonusa.
com/connectline. Here you will also find instructional “how-to videos” and a support sec-
tion answering frequently asked questions.
We recommend that you read this manual carefully before you start to use the device in
order to achieve the maximum benefit from your new Streamer. The manual describes
the most frequently used functions which are important to understand before you start
to use the Streamer. We also encourage you to read the “Getting Started” user guide,
which is included in the package. If you have any questions about the use or maintenance
of the Streamer, please contact your Hearing Care Professional.

Indication for use
The Streamer is intended to be used by wireless Oticon hearing instrument users
together with their hearing instruments. The Streamer is a communication interface
between the hearing instruments and other devices such as cell phones.
The Streamer can be connected to a range of external (additional) devices to enable
the hearing instrument user to better hear a TV or to communicate through Bluetooth-
enabled cell phones, etc.
The Streamer can also be used as a remote control that enables you to adjust the hearing
instrument volume and change programs in the hearing instruments.

You should familiarize yourself fully with the following general warnings and the entire
contents of this booklet before using your Streamer.
Products to be connected to external equipment
The safe use of the Streamer with the auxiliary input cable is determined by an external
signal source. When the input cable is connected to mains-operated equipment, this
equipment must comply with IEC-60065, IEC-60950, IEC-60601 or equivalent safety
standards.
The safety of recharging batteries with the USB connector only is determined by the
external equipment. When the USB connector is connected to mains-operated equip-
ment, this equipment should be UL-approved or comply with IEC-60065, IEC-60950,
IEC-60601 or other equivalent safety standards.
Explosives
There is a risk that Streamer will explode and cause serious injury.
Never expose the Streamer to extreme heat by putting it in the oven, microwave oven,
burning it or leaving it inside a parked car in the sun.
Warnings

13
Chocking hazards
The Streamer 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.
If a part is swallowed, see a doctor immediately.
Interference and implantable devices
The Streamer is designed to comply with the most stringent Standards of International
Electromagnetic Compatibility. However, the Streamer might cause interference with
other medical devices such as defibrillators and pacemakers.
• Please contact the manufacturer of your implantable device for information about the
risk of disturbance.
• Immediately remove the Streamer if interference is suspected. Do not use the
Streamer and seek advice.
Interference can also be caused by power line disturbances, airport metal detectors,
electromagnetic fields from other medical devices, radio signals and electrostatic dis-
charges.
Warnings

14
Use of the neck loop
If by accident the neck loop should get caught on something while the user is wearing it,
the neck loop is constructed to break automatically. Therefore, never try to shorten or
modify the neck loop in an unauthorized way. The neck loop should not be used for chil-
dren who weigh less than 11 kg.
Use in cars
Using the Streamer with a cell phone while driving can distract you. If driving conditions,
or traffic laws, demand it, pull off the road and park before making and answering calls.
Use on aircraft
The Streamer should not be used on board aircraft, unless specifically permitted by the
flight personnel.
Warnings

Battery replacement
Do not attempt to open the battery compartment, as it may damage the battery.
The service guarantee is void if there are signs of tampering.
Cell phone compatibility
Please refer to www.oticonusa.com/connectline for a list of cell phones that have been
tested comprehensively by Oticon, and have been found to fulfill the minimum require-
ments for ConnectLine compatibility at the time of testing. However, Oticon takes no
responsibility for such compatibility in general. Specifically, Oticon shall not be responsi-
ble for incompatibility resulting from future updates of the cell phones, nor from events
of incompatibility not covered by and/or found in these tests. Oticon takes no financial
responsibility in terms of reimbursements of cell phones that do not work as expected.
Before purchasing a new cell phone, you are advised to consult the list mentioned above.

Basic functions - rst-time use
Wearing the Streamer – with the neck loop
The neck loop is an integral part of the Streamer’s electronic system. It is used as an
antenna to transmit sound to your hearing instruments.
For the best possible sound and longest possible streaming time, the Streamer should
always be worn with one of the included neck loops. The Streamer comes with two neck
loops, both long and medium lengths.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Please use the neck loop carefully. Due to safety reasons (to avoid strangulation) the
neck loop will automatically release if it gets caught in something. Do not shorten or
modify the neck loop in any way, i.e., such as tie a knot to shorten the length. If a neck
loop breaks, it cannot be repaired and must be replaced immediately. Consult your
Hearing Care Professional for a replacement.

Neck loop
Inserting the neck loop
The neck loop snaps into the holes on the top of
the Streamer.
Note that when talking to somebody through the
Streamer, it is important that your voice can be
picked up by the built-in microphone on the top.

Using the Streamer without the neck loop
The Streamer can also be used without the neck loop, e.g., if kept in a pocket or used
with the optional belt clip.
When using the Streamer without the neck loop, the distance to the hearing instrument
should be less than one meter. You may experience drop-outs in sound, which is why we
always recommend using the neck loop.
When using the Streamer without the neck loop, more power will be used – consequently
the maximum streaming time is reduced to 5 hours on one full charge.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
A defective neck loop should be replaced immediately.
