Getting Started
Charging the Battery
Before using your wireless Clip-On
Microphone, you need to fully
charge the rechargeable battery.
To charge it, plug the charging ca-
ble 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
LED indicator 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 about 3 hours. It is safe
to leave the charger connected overnight—the battery cannot be
overcharged.
• When charging your wireless Clip-On Microphone for the first
time, allow it to charge for at least 3 hours, even if the battery
indicator indicates that the battery is fully charged.
17729544-US-13.08-Rev.A.indd 10 19-08-2013 13:56:18

11
• For safety reasons, recharge the battery only with chargers
supplied by your hearing healthcare professional and specifi-
cally intended for your Clip-On Microphone.
Do not charge the Clip-On Microphone
while it is on your body.
Turning your Clip-On Microphone ON and OFF
To turn ON your wireless Clip-On Microphone, slide the ON/OFF
switch (#4 on page 8) down to the ON position. A white “I” icon
will be visible on the switch and the LED indicator will now blink
green every 2.5 seconds.
If the battery level is low the LED will blink yellow every 2 seconds.
To turn it OFF, slide the ON/OFF switch up to the OFF position.
The LED will now stop blinking.

Pairing to your hearing instruments
Note! The following information is intended primarily for your hear-
ing healthcare professional, who in most cases will complete the
tasks that are necessary before the Clip-On Microphone can be
used with your hearing instruments. However, the process is de-
signed to be simple and most people can do it themselves.
It is possible to pair up to three compatible streaming devices—
e.g. one Clip-On Microphone and two TV streamers (an optional
accessory)—with a given pair of hearing instruments. Therefore,
channel 1, 2 or 3 must be selected when starting the pairing pro-
cess.
Pairing the Clip-On Microphone in Channel 1
1. Make sure the Clip-On Microphone is turned ON. Your hear-
ing instruments must be OFF—the battery doors must be
open.
2. Remove the silver cap from the Clip-On Microphone. With the
tip of a pen or similar object, press the small pairing
button one time on the front of your Clip-On Microphone (see
picture on the next page). The LED will now blink yellow once
every 2 seconds to indicate that it is ready to be paired in
Channel 1. Your Clip-On Microphone will remain in pairing
mode for 20 seconds.
17729544-US-13.08-Rev.A.indd 12 19-08-2013 13:56:19

3. While pairing mode is activated, close the battery doors
of both hearing instruments and make sure they are ON. A
successful pairing will be indicated by an audible melody
played in both hearing instruments.
You are now ready to use your wireless Clip-On Microphone!
Pairing the Clip-On Microphone in Channel 2 or 3
TopairtheClip-OnMicrophoneinChannel2,pressthepairingbutton
twice. The LED will now blink yellow twice every 2 seconds to in-
dicate that it is ready to be paired in Channel 2. Close the battery
doors on the hearing instruments.
17729544-US-13.08-Rev.A.indd 13 19-08-2013 13:56:19

14
To pair the Clip-On Microphone in Channel 3, press the pairing
button three times. The LED will now blink yellow three times ev-
ery 2 seconds to indicate that it is ready to be paired in Channel
3. Close the battery doors on the hearing instruments.

Start streaming
Turn on the Clip-On Microphone and make sure your hearing in-
struments are turned on as well. Streaming may then be started
in one of two ways.
1. Press and hold the push button on both hearing instruments
for about three seconds in order to listen to the streamed
audio signal. Once the Clip-On Microphone has been con-
nected, an audible melody will play in your hearing instru-
ments and will be followed by the streamed sound.
2. If you have a compatible Remote Control (optional), simply
press the streaming button. Doing so will briefly show a
search icon in the remote control display. Once the hearing
instruments connect to the Clip-On Microphone, a short
melody will be played in both ears to confirm the presence
of streamed audio and a streaming icon will appear in the
display. The streamed sound can now be heard in your
hearing instruments.

Start streaming on a 2nd or 3rd Clip-On Microphone unit
If your hearing instrument is paired to more than one streaming
device, you can start streaming in two ways.
1. Press and hold the hearing instrument push button for about
3 seconds a 2nd or 3rd time to access the 2nd or 3rd com-
patible streaming device.
2. If you are using a compatible Remote Control, press the
streaming button on the Remote Control a 2nd or 3rd time to
access the 2nd or 3rd compatible streaming device.

When using a compatible Remote Control, listening programs for
streaming devices are designated as A, B and C.* The program in
use is indicated in the remote control display.
* The designations for listening programs can be customized by
your hearing healthcare professional in the programming soft-
ware. Such customizations will be reflected in the remote con-
trol display.
Stop streaming
• To stop streaming with a Remote Control (optional) you just
have to press the “P” button, located in the center of the key
pad. This will return the hearing instruments to the last program
used. You may also press the home button to return to your
default settings.
• If you are using the telephone with a compatible Phone Clip,
Phone Clip+ or with PhoneNow™ accessory, streaming of the
Clip-On Microphone will be temporarily disrupted. When you
have ended your phone call, streaming will resume.
Note! The Clip-On Microphone will transmit over a range
of approximately 20 feet (or more.) Transmission can be
interrupted if the distance between the hearing instru-
ment and the Clip-On Microphone is increased beyond
the transmission range. If the Clip-On Microphone is
moved back into range within 5 minutes, your hearing
instruments will automatically reconnect and continue
streaming.

Wearing your wireless Clip-On Microphone
Clip your wireless Clip-On Microphone on the speaker’s jacket
or other clothing. Place the device within a range of 4 to 8 inches
from the speaker’s mouth.
Light indicator (LED)
The Light indicator (#6 on page 9) on your wireless Clip-On
Microphone serves as a multipurpose user interface, providing
information on the status of your device.

19
Using the line-in input
The line-in input (#3 on page 8) can be used to stream audio sig-
nals from most audio devices through the Clip-On Microphone’s
line-in feature directly to your hearing instrument.
1. Insert one end of the cable included with your Clip-On Micro-
phone into the line-in jack on the Clip-On Microphone.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into the AUDIO OUT on the
audio device you want to stream from.

Note: When using the Clip-On Microphone with a TV, you
can use the HEADPHONE output terminal which is usu-
ally located on the side or front of the TV. Typically, when
using the HEADPHONE output terminal on the TV, only
the person wearing the hearing instruments will hear the
sound, and the TV speakers will be muted. Consult your
TV manual to determine whether or not your TV supports
simultaneous speaker and HEADPHONE use.
