2.2 How your Roger EasyPen works
Roger EasyPen transmits the speaker’s voice directly into
your ears. The system consists of three main elements:
your hearing aids, Roger receivers and your Roger
EasyPen.
Your Roger EasyPen and your hearing aid typically work
within a range of up to 10 meters / 33 feet. Note that
human bodies and walls may reduce this distance. The
furthest range is possible when you can see your Roger
EasyPen (i.e. line of sight).

You can also connect via a
SCART adaptor, which can be
bought from an electronics
store or from your Phonak
dealer.
Connect the other end of the
audio cable to the SCART
adapter.
Then plug the SCART adapter
into a free SCART output
socket on your TV.
If your TV does not include an analog audio output, you
need a digital to analog converter. Such converters can be
found in electronics stores or may be purchased from
your Phonak dealer.

When the docking station is plugged into the headset
socket of your TV, you can adjust the volume via your
TV’s remote control.
Some TVs will switch o their loudspeakers when you
plug the jack into the headset socket – meaning
the TV will not be audible for other people. In such
cases use the Cinch / RCA or SCART output socket as
described overleaf.
The Roger EasyPen docking station can also be
connected to any other audio device such as an MP3
player, PC or HiFi system using the audio cable.
