Pairing Process
For TruLink Remote to interact with your hearing
instrument(s), you must first pair the remote
with each hearing instrument. You only need
to pair one time, as they should automatically
recognize each other when both are powered
on and within wireless operating range.
You can pair TruLink Remote with a monaural
(one) hearing instrument or binaural hearing
instruments (pair). To cancel pairing mode on
TruLink Remote, simply move the lower switch
from Unlock (left) to Lock (right) position.
To start using TruLink Remote:
1. Move lower switch from Lock
(right) to Unlock (left) position
2. Insert battery and close door
on hearing instrument(s),
and place within 12 inches of
TruLink Remote
3. Press and hold the HOME
button for 5 seconds
4. After 5 seconds, both LEDs
start rapidly blinking
5. For Binaural Hearing Instruments (pair):
• If the left LED becomes solid blue for
2+ seconds and right LED becomes
solid red for 2+ seconds, then the
binaural pairing was successful.
Otherwise, repeat steps 2 – 5.
For a Left Monaural Hearing Instrument:
• If the left LED becomes solid blue for
2 seconds, then the monaural pairing
was successful. Otherwise, repeat
steps 2 – 5.
For a Right Monaural Hearing Instrument:
• If the right LED becomes solid red for
2 seconds, then the monaural pairing
was successful. Otherwise, repeat
steps 2 – 5.
6. To verify your setup, pressing the Volume
Up or Volume Down button should cause
a hearing instrument volume adjustment

TIP – To extend its battery life, place the TruLink
Remote into a Locked state when not in use.
Ear Selection Switch
The Ear Selection Switch controls whether
adjustments are made to a single hearing
instrument or both hearing instruments.
Binaural Hearing Instruments: To adjust
both hearing instruments at the same time,
the Ear Selection Switch should be positioned
in the center.
Monaural Hearing Instrument: The Ear
Selection Switch is ignored for monaural hearing
instruments, as TruLink Remote always sends the
appropriate left-side or right-side command.
LED
The blue LED blinks when a button press
command is sent to the left hearing instrument.
Similarly, the red LED blinks for the right
hearing instrument.
Volume Up/Down
Each time you press a Volume button, the
overall level of all sounds coming through your
hearing instrument changes in the selected
direction (either up or down).
Home
To reset your hearing instruments to memory
one and the default volume level, press the
Home button.
Lock/Unlock
To make adjustments to your hearing
instruments, the TruLink Remote should be in
the Unlock state. When not using your TruLink
Remote, you can lock it to prevent inadvertent
hearing instrument changes.
