Phonak MyLink+ User manual

User Guide

Welcome
yLink is a special multi-frequency wireless receiver
with neck-loop for use in conjunction with a
wireless transmitter. The yLink user hears the speaker’s
voice loud and clear, even in noisy surroundings,
when communicating over a distance, or in reverberating
rooms.
yLink wireless receivers are compatible with In-the
Ear hearing instruments (custom products) and
Behind-the-Ear hearing instruments with T-coil.
This user guide and the user guide from your wireless
transmitter, e.g. EasyLink, help you obtain maximum
benefits. Ask your hearing care professional if you have
any questions.
Phonak wishes you much hearing enjoyment with
MyLink.

The wireless transmitter picks up your partner’s voice
and instantly relays it to your yLink by radio. The
yLink transforms the signal and sends it directly into
your hearing instruments via wireless link.
Even in places where you are not satisfied with the
performance of your hearing instrument alone, yLink
will always provide you with a loud and clear speech
signal. Please consult the transmitter user guide for a
detailed description of all the applications.
