Warning to hearing healthcare professional: Domes should
never be tted on clients with perforated eardrums, exposed
middle ear cavities, or surgically altered ear canals. In the
case of such a condition, we recommend to use a customized
ear mold. In the unlikely case that any parts remain in the ear
canal aer the removal of the hearing instrument, contact a
physician immediately.

To measure for an accurate wire length:
1. Place your head
at the same
horizontal level as
the client’s head
so you are looking
straight into the client’s ear that you wish to t with
the hearing instrument.
2. Hold the measurement tool with the
appropriate blue or red color code
marking (for the le or right ear) with
your thumb placed on the ear diagram.
3. Place the measurement tool on
the top of the ear and in contact
with the skin in the narrow gap
between the head and the pinna.
Keep the horizontal line on the
measurement tool horizontal and level.
Measuring for an accurate xReceiver unit
Choosing the correct xReceiver wire length will ensure
a more accurate, comfortable t. The measurement
tool included in the kit allows for a quick and simple
measurement and has the following features:
Color Code Markings – blue
(le ear) and red (right ear)
color code markings to indicate
which of the client’s ears to
measure.
Horizontal Line Markings – measurements must be
made horizontally with the measurement tool touching
the skin in the gap between the head and the top of the
pinna.
Four Horizontal Sightlines – (0-1-2-3) – to indicate which
wire length you should use for an accurate tting.

Modifying xReceiver wire to improve t
In some cases, you might nd that the
wire of the xReceiver unit does not lie
close to the side of the head or follow
the shape of the ear.
First, ensure the selected dome and
xReceiver unit sizes are appropriate
(see following pages).
If a dierent xReceiver tube does not
t better, you may need to modify the
curvature (bend) slightly using the
steps outlined below.
1. Remove the xReceiver unit from
Moxi.
2. Heat the tube carefully with a hairdryer at a low
setting for a few seconds.
3. Do not use excessive heat to avoid damage to the
electrical components.
4. Bend the tubing into the desired shape and hold
until it has cooled o. Once completely cooled, the
tube will maintain its new shape.
4. Choose the sightline (0-1-2-3) on
the measurement tool that is most
parallel with the top of the opening
of the ear canal. In this example,
the sightline marked 1 would be the most accurate
choice.
5. Make a note of the sightline chosen and then
repeat steps 1-4 on the opposite ear for a binaural
tting.
Note: It is important to measure the opposite ear for a binaural
tting since right and le ear sizes can vary and thus, require
dierent wire lengths.

Attaching the retention piece tothe
standard or power xReceiver unit
The retention piece may be used for ttings with
the open or closed dome depending on the client’s
requirements. The retention piece is optional and
allows for extra security in the ear. The retention piece
can easily be cut shorter to comfortably t into the
client’s concha bowl.

hand.
2. Slide the appropriate coupling over the receiver.
3. The xReceiver unit and coupling should t snugly
together.
Attaching the power dome to the
power xReceiver unit
1. Hold the xReceiver unit in one hand and the power
dome in the other hand.

Detection screen
1. Connect hearing instrument to the NoahLink,
HiPro, or iCube and click the detect icon. Unitron
TrueFit will display the connected devices and serial
numbers.
Note: Aer connecting to the hearing devices, go to the
Acoustics screen and select the correct receiver and “tip”
option.
Selection screen
2. Go to the Acoustics screen in the Instruments
menu.
3. Select the connected Receiver unit for each hearing
instrument from the drop-down lists.
4. Select the connected tip from the drop down list. If
applicable, choose the appropriate size of venting.
5. If custom shell is selected and has the IntelliVent
technology, enter the IntelliVent code for optimal
venting acoustics. The IntelliVent coupling code is
inscribed on the custom shell.
Whenever a change to the xReceiver unit or dome
is made during the tting, you need to revisit the
Acoustics screen and specify your choices to allow for
correct gain calculations.
Note: Please ensure that the connected xReceiver unit is
selected and a quick t is performed before inserting hearing
instrument into your client’s ear canal.
Once your setup selection is complete, go to Feedback
Optimization under Fitting.

Appendix
Using the Moxi shell removal tool
The shell removal tool is used to remove the top shell
from Moxi to access the microphone protector.
Note: Moxi Kiss models do not have a replaceable microphone
protector. It is not necessary to remove the Moxi Kiss shell.
Removing the top shell of Moxi
1. Open the battery door and insert the tool on a slight
angle, inserting one pin on the side of the tool with
the notch inside the battery compartment.
2. Twist the tool down in the opposite direction to
snap the tool into place.
3. Squeeze the tool in the center to push the shell out
of the notches.
4. Li the shell up and forward o the hearing
instrument and over the push button. This allows
access to the microphone protector.

15
Replacing the top shell
1. Position the top shell over the push button on the
hearing instrument.
2. Then push the shell down and back until it snaps
into place.

16
Microphone protector replacement
The microphone protector prevents moisture and
debris damage to the microphone. A clogged
microphone protector could aect the performance of
the hearing device. If this occurs, the mic protector can
be easily replaced.
Removal
1. Aer removing the top shell (shown on previous
page), remove the microphone protector with a
tweezer.
Installation
1. Place the new mic protector with a tweezer.
2. Smooth down the mic protector with your nger.
3. Replace the top shell.
Moxi Kiss battery door replacement
Removal
1. Use the small silver tool to push the pin out.
2. Remove the battery door.
Installation
1. Line up the battery door.
2. Insert the pin. Use the back of the small silver tool
to push the pin in.

2. Remove the battery door.
Installation
1. Line up the battery door.
2. Insert the pin. Use the back of the small silver tool

How to measure performance in a coupler
RIC devices should be measured with a HA1 coupler
since it best reflects the acoustical properties in the ear
canal.
The xReceiver kit includes a metal adapter plate that
ts on a HA1 coupler and allows for a good connection
of the xReceiver unit to the coupler.
Select Activate Test Box Measurement Mode in Unitron
TrueFit from the menu on the top menu bar. Clicking
on Activate Test Box Measurement Mode disables the
adaptive features and activates the omnidirectional
microphone mode to allow for correct measurements.
Click on Deactivate Test Box Measurement Mode to
reestablish the previous settings.
Attach the Standard xReceiver to the metal adapter plate.

Wax guard replacement and cleaning domes
All xReceiver units are equipped with a wax guard
system to protect the xReceiver from ear wax. The wax
guard can be easily replaced. You will need to counsel
your client on how to replace the wax protector, see
instructions included with the replacement packs.
If necessary, the domes and xReceiver units can be
wiped with a damp cloth; however, xReceiver units
should never be submerged in water to avoid damage
to the electrical components.
