What is uDirect?
uDirect is the Unifi Wireless System accessory that
provides connectivity between your hearing
instruments and a world of audio devices:
• It can wirelessly receive audio from Bluetooth-
enabled devices such as mobile phones and
personal computers.
• Using Bluetooth adapters, it can wirelessly receive
audio from devices such as your home stereo and
telephone.
• It can also connect many devices-such as portable
MP3 players and radios via a standard audio jack
• It also accepts several FM shoes via the Europlug
input.
uDirect wirelessly streams the received audio signal to
your hearing instruments so that you can use these
devices easily.
You can concurrently connect multiple audio devices
to your uDirect. The audio sources are automatically
prioritized.

Getting started
Charging the battery
Your uDirect has an
internal, rechargeable
battery. To charge it, plug
in the charging cable,
then plug the other end
of the charging cable into
a power outlet.
Your uDirect will turn off automatically when a charger
is connected.
For safety reasons, recharge the battery only with
chargers supplied by Unitron.
During the charging process, the battery light will turn
orange. Once the battery is fully charged, the indicator
will turn green.
Charging an empty battery takes approximately 90
minutes. It is safe to leave the charger connected
overnight – the battery cannot be overcharged.
When char in your uDirect for the first time, allow it
to char e for at least 3 hours, even if the battery
li ht turns reen after 90 minutes.
A new battery’s full performance is achieved only after
two or three complete charge and discharge cycles.

Operating time
Fully charged, your uDirect will operate for
approximately 10 – 12 hours in normal use. Battery
consumption and the operating time of the uDirect
depend greatly on the usage of the device. Heavy use
of the audio streaming and Bluetooth functions will
reduce the operating time of your uDirect between
battery charges.
Your uDirect battery can be charged hundreds of
times. If the operating time of your uDirect reduces
substantially, please contact your hearing healthcare
professional.
Battery status
While turned ON, your uDirect indicates the battery
status on the battery indicator as follows:
• Green, slow flash - Battery charge is high.
• Orange, medium flash - Battery charge is moderate.
• Red, fast flash - Battery charge is low.
Once the fast red flashing starts, your uDirect will still
operate for about an hour, but you should recharge
the battery as soon as possible.
Turning your uDirect ON or OFF
To turn your uDirect ON, press and hold the On/Off
button for about a second until you see the battery

7
indicator turn on. Release the
On/Off button. Once your uDirect
is fully operational, the battery
indicator will be colored and flash
according to the current battery
charge as described above.
To turn your uDirect OFF, press and hold the On/Off
button for about two seconds until you see the battery
indicator turn green. Once you release the On/Off
button, the battery indicator will go dark and your
uDirect will be OFF.
Wearing your uDirect
To put your uDirect around your neck, open the
neckloop by unplugging it.
Put the neckloop around your neck and plug it in. This
will activate the built-in antenna, and is necessary for
the uDirect to communicate with your hearing
instruments.

Checking the connection to your hearing
instruments
The communication between your uDirect and your
hearing instruments needs to be completed by your
hearing clinician. To check that your uDirect and your
hearing instruments can communicate successfully,
briefly press the communication button. If the
communicate was successful, you will hear a
confirmation beep in your hearing instruments and
the streaming indicator light will turn orange for a few
seconds.
If the communication fails, the streaming indicator will
rapidly flash orange for a few seconds.
