Getting Started
Charging the Battery
Before using your Phone Clip 2, you need to
fully charge the rechargeable battery.
To charge it, plug the charging cable into the
Phone Clip 2 as shown in the picture to the
right.
Then plug the other end of the charging cable
into a power outlet.
During the charging process, the light
indicator (LED) at the top of the Phone Clip 2
will show a solid red light.
When fully charged and still connected to
the charger, the LED will turn solid green
interrupted by a red blink every 2 seconds.
Charging an empty battery typically takes
around 3 hours. It is safe to leave the charger
connected overnight – the battery cannot be
overcharged.
• When charging your Phone Clip 2 for the
rst time, leave it to charge for at least 3
hours, even if the battery indicator shows
that the unit is fully charged (see section
about “Light indicators”).
• For safety reasons, recharge the battery
only with chargers supplied.
Do not charge the
Phone Clip 2 while it
is on your body.

Turning your Phone Clip 2 ON and OFF
8
To turn ON your Phone Clip 2 slide the ON/ OFF switch (1 on page 6) down
to the ON position. A white ”I” icon will be visible on the base of the switch
and the LED indicator will now blink green every 2.5 seconds.
To turn it OFF, slide the ON/OFF switch up to the OFF position. The LED
will now stop blinking.
If battery level is low the LED will blink yellow every 2 seconds indicating
that the unit should be recharged.
Pairing to hearing instruments
Note!
The following information is intended primarily for your Hearing Care
Professional, who in most cases will complete the tasks that are necessary
before the Phone Clip 2 can be used with your hearing instruments.
However, the process is designed to be simple and should be easily
accomplished by almost anyone.
1. Make sure Phone Clip 2 is turned on. Your hearing instruments must be
OFF – this is done by opening the battery door on the hearing instrument(s).
2. Remove the silver cap from the Phone Clip 2. With the tip of a pen or
similar object, press the small white pairing button one time on the back of
your Phone Clip 2 (see picture to
the right). The LED will now blink
yellow every 2 seconds to indicate
that is ready to be paired to your
hearing instruments. Your Phone
Clip 2 will remain in pairing mode
for 20 seconds.

9
3. While pairing mode is active, close the battery doors on both hearing
instruments and make sure they are ON. A successful pairing will be
indicated by an audible melody played in both hearing instruments. Also
the LED on the Phone Clip will remain lit (yellow) for 2 seconds.
If your mobile phone is Bluetooth enabled and supports the appropriate
proles, it can communicate with the Phone Clip 2 only after completing
two simple procedures: pairing and connecting.
The pairing procedure allows you to control which Bluetooth devices are
permitted to communicate with each other. It needs to be completed only
once for each device you wish to use with your Phone Clip 2.
You can pair up to 8 Bluetooth devices with the Phone Clip 2, but only 2
Bluetooth devices can be connected/active at a time.
The pairing procedure is described in the following section. Once a mobile
phone is permitted to communicate with the Phone Clip 2 by the pairing
procedure, the connection procedure congures the device to actually
output its audio signal over the Bluetooth connection. This procedure is
also described in the following section.
Pairing to your mobile phone
The pairing procedure is controlled by your mobile phone. Different mobile
phones have different menu structures. You should therefore refer to your
mobile phone’s manual if you cannot complete the pairing procedure with
the generic steps described here.
Bluetooth Pairing

10
1. Turn you Phone Clip 2 ON and remove the silver cap. Place your mobile
phone next to the Phone Clip 2, and make sure your phone is ON.
2. Find the connectivity settings on your phone. Look for the “Bluetooth”
feature in the main menu or one of the sub menus, such as “Connectivity”.
3. On your mobile phone, ensure that Bluetooth is turned ON.
4. With the tip of a pen or similar object, press the small blue Bluetooth
pairing button one time on the back of your Phone Clip 2 (see picture
below). Now the Phone Clip 2 will be in Bluetooth pairing mode for two
minutes.
5. On the mobile phone choose to search for Bluetooth devices.
6. Your mobile phone should present a list of Bluetooth devices discovered.
Select “Hearing Aid Phone” from this list.
7. Your mobile phone may then ask you to enter a passcode. If so, enter
“0000” (four zeros).
Your Phone Clip 2 should now be paired to
your mobile phone. Some mobile phones
may ask which Bluetooth service you wish to
enable. Select “Headset”.

11
Connecting
Once your mobile phone and Phone Clip 2 are paired, the mobile phone
may need to be connected before it will actually send the appropriate audio
signals.
This function should also appear in your mobile phone’s “Bluetooth” menu,
usually under a list of “Paired Devices”. In that list, highlight your Phone Clip
2 and select “Connect”.
When your Phone Clip 2 and mobile phone are connected, you may see a
headset symbol on the main screen of your mobile phone, similar to this:
The connection between the Phone Clip 2 and the mobile phone will be
maintained for as long as both devices are turned ON and remain within
range of each other. If either device is switched OFF or gets out of range,
you may have to perform the connection procedure again.
On some phones you can congure “Automatic Reconnection”. We
recommend that you do so if the feature is available. Refer to the user
guide of your mobile phone for instructions on how to do this if supported.

Introduction to Bluetooth
Bluetooth provides a way for devices like mobile
phones to communicate wirelessly.
First, check whether the phone you wish to
use offers Bluetooth connectivity. Look for the
following symbol on the device or its user guide.
Second, the range of possible applications on a Bluetooth-enabled
device is dened by “proles”. The device you wish to use with your
Phone Clip 2 must support the appropriate Bluetooth proles.
To receive or place phone calls your mobile phone must support either
the “handsfree” or the “headset” prole. Many, but not all mobile phones
support these Bluetooth proles. Look for this information in your mobile
phone user guide.
Bluetooth Operating Range
In free air, your Phone Clip 2 supports Bluetooth operation up to a range
of approximately 10 meters. Line-of-sight between the devices is not
required. However, the following factors may affect the maximum range:
• Interference in the environment.
• The mobile phone which you are connecting to may support a more
limited range than the 10 meters supported by the Phone Clip 2.
If your mobile phone moves out of range, the connection will be
terminated. If the device is then moved again within the range, the Phone
Clip 2 will attempt to re-establish connection. Whether it achieves to do
so will depend on delay since the link was broken and on the mobile
phone properties.
