What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is a wireless standard that provides a way to
wirelessly connect devices like cell phones, laptops, head-
sets and others.
Over a Bluetooth connection the devices can exchange in-
formation such as data, sound or even control commands.
The range of the Bluetooth connection in the Tek Connect
remote control is about 10 m (32 ft). Walls or objects in be-
tween the devices can shorten this distance.
The Tek Connect remote control can be connected via
Bluetooth to your cell phone or to the Tek Transmitter.
Follow the instructions of the following chapters to hear
sound of your cell phone, TV or mp3 player directly in your
hearing instruments.
The Bluetooth symbol denotes wether or not a device
is Bluetooth compatible.

10 Using the remote control with a phone
The remote control allows you to
use your hearing instruments as a
wireless headset when you are tele-
phoning with a Bluetooth compat-
ible phone or cell phone.
Instead of using the telephone
receiver, you speak in your remote
control and listen through your
hearing instruments.
Pairing remote control and phone
Before you can use the remote control with a phone for
the first time you need to pair your phone and the remote
control. The pairing process can be compared with an "in-
troduction" of phone and remote control. After the pairing
process the phone and remote control "know" each other.
The pairing process does not need to be repeated.

trol for about 7 seconds.
