Introduction
The SurfLink Mini Mobile system includes both the
SurfLink Remote Microphone and SurfLink Mini Mobile
Adapter. Prior to use, both products will need to be
separately set up. The SurfLink Remote Microphone
will be synced to your hearing instruments. The
SurfLink Mini Mobile Adapter will be paired to your
Bluetooth device.
The SurfLink Remote Microphone is designed
to stream remote microphone audio directly to your
900MHz wireless hearing instruments. When worn
by a distant speaker in noisy environments, SurfLink
Remote Microphone functions as an assistive listening
device.
When SurfLink Mini Mobile Adapter is attached to
SurfLink Remote Microphone, the resulting SurfLink
Mini Mobile system is designed to stream audio
from your Bluetooth device to your 900MHz wireless
hearing instruments.
Streaming – Audio or sound transmitted from
SurfLink Remote Microphone to your 900MHz wireless
hearing instruments.

Controls Overview

Operation
Low Battery and Charging
If SurfLink Remote Microphone is on and enters
a low battery condition, the LED slowly pulses
red and provides an audible indicator tone to a
hearing instrument. The indicator tone is distinctly
different from the low battery indicator for a hearing
instrument, so there is no confusion as to which is
experiencing a low battery condition. Once SurfLink
Remote Microphone enters a low battery condition,
the indicator tone will occur about every 5 minutes
until SurfLink Remote Microphone automatically shuts
down, or until a power source is applied.
When SurfLink Remote Microphone is attached to a
power source, charging automatically begins. While
SurfLink Remote Microphone is off, the LED turns
solid green during charging and turns off when fully
charged. While SurfLink Remote Microphone is on,
the LED prioritizes streaming by slowly pulsing blue,
but continues charging in the background.

Operation

TIP – Charging SurfLink Remote Microphone can take
longer while streaming audio. Charging will be faster
when the SurfLink Remote Microphone is off.
Typical Charging Method
To charge the battery,
attach the microUSB end
of the charging cable to the
microUSB jack on SurfLink
Remote Microphone.
Attach the USB end of
the charging cable to a
female USB jack, such as

power adapter, car charger
adapter or computer.

Operation

Syncing to Hearing Instruments
Syncing establishes a relationship between your
hearing instruments and SurfLink Remote Microphone.
For hearing instruments to receive streamed audio
from SurfLink Remote Microphone, you must first
sync the hearing instruments with SurfLink Remote
Microphone. You only have to sync SurfLink Remote
Microphone with your hearing instruments once, as
they will automatically link when both are powered on
and they are within wireless operating range.
To put SurfLink Remote
Microphone into an
active syncing state,
press the “Sync” icon
on the Power On/Off
slider for 5 seconds
until the LED starts
rapidly blinking blue. To sync a hearing instrument
with SurfLink Remote Microphone, open your hearing
instrument battery door, insert a battery, and close
your hearing instrument battery door.
17
Operation

18
The SurfLink Remote Microphone remains in an active
syncing state for up to 20 seconds (concluded by red
LED blink), or until one hearing instrument is synced
with it (confirmed by a green LED blink).
After a successful hearing instrument syncing, SurfLink
Remote Microphone continues in an active syncing
state for another 20 seconds (concluded by red
LED blink), or until the second hearing instrument is
synced with it (confirmed by green LED blink).
After successful syncing, each hearing instrument
should automatically start streaming audio. If syncing
did not yield the desired result, then repeat the
process.
To cancel syncing mode, turn off and then turn on
SurfLink Remote Microphone.
The SurfLink Remote Microphone can be synced with
at most one left and one right hearing instrument at
a time. When hearing instruments are synced with
SurfLink Remote Microphone, any previously synced
hearing instruments will be automatically deleted.
Operation

19
Operation
Built-In Microphones
Depending on SurfLink Remote Microphone’s physical
orientation, it automatically adjusts the microphone
settings to either “Focus” (directional) or “Surround”
(omni-directional).
“Focus” – When SurfLink
Remote Microphone is
body worn, it automatically
prioritizes sound from above
while reducing sounds levels
from other directions. This is
useful for listening to a single
speaker when background noise
is present.
“Surround” – When SurfLink
Remote Microphone is placed
horizontally (on its clip),
it receives sound from all
directions. This setting is useful
for listening to multiple nearby
speakers in quiet environments.
TIP – In noisy environments, move SurfLink Remote
Microphone as close as possible to sound source.
