Your CROS transmitter
CROS solutions are designed for people with profound
hearing loss in one ear which can not be aided with a
hearing aid. A CROS transmitter worn on this ear captures
sound from this side and transmits it to the hearing aid on
the other ear. This allows the wearer of the hearing aid to
hear sounds from both sides.
CROS transmitter hearing aid

Two solutions are available:
zCROS solution:
For people with normal hearing in one ear and profound
hearing loss in the other. Sounds from the side with
hearing loss are captured and transmitted wirelessly to
the good-hearing side.
zBiCROS solution:
For people with profound hearing loss in one ear and less
severe hearing loss in the other. Sounds from the more
severe hearing loss side are captured and transmitted
wirelessly to the better-hearing side. The hearing aid
processes and amplies the sounds from both sides.
The CROS transmitter works with our specic wireless
hearing aids. Your Hearing Care Professional will advise
you on the compatible models.
NOTICE
This user guide only applies to the CROS transmitter.
Your hearing aid has a separate user guide.

Daily use
Charging
Use IF CIC Travel Charger to charge your CROS
transmitter. Follow the inructions in the charger's user
guide, where you will also nd useful tips on charging.
Place your CROS transmitter in the charger as shown:
11
Turning on and o
You have the following options to turn your device on or o.
XTurning on: Take the device out of the charger.
The artup melody is played in your hearing aid. The
default volume and hearing program are set.
XTurning o: Place the device in the charger.
Note that the charger mu be on.
12
Switching to andby mode
Via remote control, you can switch your device to andby
mode. This mutes the device. When you leave andby
mode, the previously used volume and hearing program
are set.
Note:
zIn andby mode, the device is not turned o completely.
It draws some power.
Therefore we recommend to use andby mode only for a
short period of time.
zIf you want to leave andby mode, but the remote control
or app is not at hand: Turn your device o and on again
(by shortly placing it in the charger until the green LED
lights up). In this case, the default volume and hearing
program are set.
13
Inserting and removing the CROS transmitter
CAUTION
Risk of injury!
XAlways wear the device with an ear piece.
XMake sure that the ear piece is completely
attached.
Inserting:
XIdentify right and left device so that you insert it in the
correct ear. The labeling or the color of the device
indicates the side:
red color, imprinted "R" = right ear
blue color, imprinted "L" = left ear
14
XTake care that the flap of the Sleeve matches the line
printed on the device.
XHold the device correctly before inserting it: Pay special
attention to the removal cord indicating the bottom.
The arrow which is printed on the device has to point
upwards.
15
XCarefully push the device
into the ear canal.
XTwi it slightly until it sits well.
Open and close your mouth to avoid
accumulation of air in the ear canal.
16
CAUTION
Risk of injury!
XInsert the ear piece carefully and not too deeply
into the ear.
zIt may be helpful to insert the right device with the
right hand and the left device with the left hand.
zIf you have problems inserting the device, use the
other hand to gently pull your earlobe downwards.
This opens the ear canal and eases insertion of the
device.
Removing:
XPush lightly on the back of your ear to loosen the device.
XRemove the device by pulling the removal cord towards
the back of your head.
17

happens, have the ear piece removed by a medical
professional.
Clean and dry your device after usage. Read more in
section "Maintenance and care".
Changing the hearing program
Depending on the liening situation, your device
automatically adju their sound.
Your device may also have several hearing programs which
allow you to change the sound, if needed. An optional signal
tone can indicate the program change.
