YOUR NEW FM+DEX
Your FM+DEX is part of the DEX™ family of assistive
listening devices. These user instructions explain how
the FM+DEX should be operated.
WARNING
This booklet contains important information and instructions.
Please read this booklet carefully before you start using the
device.
5

Intended use
The FM+DEX is a battery-powered device intended to
stream signals to Widex hearing aids using the wire-
less WidexLink, i.e. signals are received, altered and
streamed to the hearing aid.
Description of device
The FM+DEX is offered in order to support Widex hear-
ing aids without DAI or a telecoil. When the FM module
is attached, the user is able to receive FM signals.
In the same way, the device can substitute for a telecoil
in hearing aids not fitted with a telecoil. The third input
possibility is the line in, which can be used to stream
music, etc., by connecting a computer or portable unit
to the device.
The FM+DEX is worn on a neck loop or attached
directly to the clothing or belt using the included clip.

GETTING STARTED
Charging the battery
The FM+DEX uses a rechargeable battery that is
charged through the mini USB connector. When fully
charged, the battery has a capacity of approx. 10 hours
of continuous use. The charger is available in four coun-
try versions. The version you have may therefore not
look exactly as illustrated in this booklet.
10

1. Connect the charger to the mini USB connector at
the bottom of the FM+DEX.
2. Plug the charger into a wall socket.
It takes approximately 6 hours to charge the battery
the first time. Recharging takes approx. 2 hours. The
device cannot stream while recharging.
WARNING
Do not attempt to change the battery yourself. Contact your
hearing care professional if the battery needs replacement.
11

Preparing for FM or audio
The toggle key allows you to choose between three input
sources, depending on whether you wish to receive FM,
audio or telecoil signals. However, to prepare for FM or
audio reception, you need to do the following:

FM
If you wish to listen to an FM source, you will first need
to connect the appropriate FM module.
1. Remove the cover at the bottom of the device.
2a. If you have a SCOLAFLEX receiver, slide it into
place as shown.
13

2b. For other modules, use a Europlug to connect it to
the device. Please be sure to turn and position the
Europlug correctly, i.e. according to the thickness
of the pins.
3. Turn the receiver module on.
4. Slide the FM switch to the right if you are using a
SCOLAFLEX interface or to the left if you are using
a Europlug.

5. Attach the cover again.
15

Audio
If you wish to listen to an audio source, plug the jack-
to-jack cable provided into the audio (line-in) socket.
Connect the other end to the audio source. The device
automatically detects the audio signal.
16

Antenna
The FM+DEX can be used with or without an external
neck loop antenna.
Attaching the neck loop antenna
Assemble the two neck loop wires (if not already
assembled) by connecting the male jack on the short
wire to the female jack on the long wire. Then assemble
the two neck loop wires (if not already assembled) by
connecting the male jack on the short wire to the female
jack on the long wire. Then connect the jack connectors
at the end of the neck loop wires to the holes in the
click-on module.
17

Then attach the assembled module to the device as
illustrated.
18

An alternative way of using the device is by attaching
it to your clothes using the detachable clip. These first
two illustrations show how to attach the clip to the
device.
19

Pushing the clip upwards with two fingers allows you to
turn the clip as required. Push it backwards to fix it in
the desired position.
