CHARGING THE REMOTE CONTROL
16
Charging the Remote Control
Charging process
• Connect the remote control with the power plug to a power
outlet. The charging process starts. Charging time is about
5 hours depending on the status of the rechargeable battery
(Fig.13).
Charging is complete when the battery symbol shows a
full battery (Fig.13).
Running time of the rechargeable battery
The running time of the rechargeable battery depends on
the way the remote control is used.
• The most battery-consuming function is the streaming
transmission of audio signals. This function is active when
using the telephone or listening to an external device. The
rechargeable battery will provide about 5 hours of use time
under these circumstances before requiring recharge.
• When no transmission of audio signal is active but a phone
has been paired, the rechargeable battery will last several
days before requiring recharge.
• When no transmission of audio signal is active and no
telephone has been paired, the rechargeable battery lasts
several months before requiring recharge.
• For prolonged operation, the Tek Connect remote control
may be used while plugged in.

WHAT IS BLUETOOTH®?17
What is Bluetooth®?
Bluetooth technology provides a way to wirelessly connect
cell phones, laptops, headsets and other devices.
Over a Bluetooth connection the devices can exchange
information such as data, sound or even control commands.
The range of the Bluetooth connection in the Tek Connect
remote control is about 10 meters. Walls or other objects
between the devices can shorten this distance.
The Bluetooth symbol denotes whether a device is
Bluetooth compatible.
The Tek Connect remote control can be connected via
Bluetooth wireless technology to your cell phone or to
the Tek Transmitter.
Follow the instructions in the following chapters to hear the
sound of your cell phone, your TV or your MP3 player directly
in your hearing instrument(s).
®

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL WITH A PHONE
18
Using the Remote Control
with a Phone
The remote control allows you to use your hearing
instrument(s) as a wireless headset when you are
using a Bluetooth compatible phone or cell phone.
Instead of using the telephone receiver, you should speak
into your remote control and listen through your hearing
instrument(s).
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 is like an “introduction” 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.
• Activate the Bluetooth function in your phone.The display
of your phone should show a Bluetooth symbol when the
Bluetooth function is activated (see symbol Fig. 14).
