Charging the battery

11
!
New batteries take approx. 12 hours to charge. Charging for longer than this will not
damage the battery.
We recommend that you remove the battery compartment cover from the Campus S
if you will not be using the unit for several weeks. This prevents the battery from
fully discharging.
If necessary, the battery can be removed from the Campus S and a replacement battery
fitted. The removed battery can then be recharged using a multi-cell charger available
from Phonak. Please see page 15 for further information.

12
You can use the Campus S also for high quality wireless transmission of sound from
audio equipment like TV sets, video recorders, radios and CD players.
Plug the audio cable into the headphone output of your audio equipment.
Plug the other end of the cable into the audio input underneath your Campus S.
Since the Campus S uses the microphone cable as an antenna, unroll the
microphone cable.

that the cable is unwound while you are using the Campus S.
Used with Phonak FM receivers, your Campus S should operate over a range up to
