The wireless transmitter picks up your partner’s voice
and instantly relays it to your MyLink+ by radio. The
MyLink+ transforms the signal and sends it directly
into your hearing instruments via wireless link. Even
in places where you are not satisfied with the perfor-
mance of your hearing instrument alone, MyLink+ 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.
