Your CROS transmitter

CROS solutions are designed for people with profound

hearing loss in one ear which can not be aided with a

hearing inrument. A CROS transmitter worn on this

ear captures sound from this side and transmits it to

the hearing inrument on the other ear. This allows the

wearer of the hearing inrument to hear sounds from

both sides.

Two solutions are available:

● CROS 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.

● BiCROS 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 inrument processes and amplies the

sounds from both sides.

The CROS transmitter works with our specic wireless

hearing inruments. Your Hearing Care Professional will

advise you on the compatible models.

NOTICE

This user guide only applies to the CROS

transmitter. Your hearing inrument has a separate

user guide.

Maintenance and care

To prevent damage it is important that you take care of

your device and follow a few basic rules, which will soon

become a part of your daily routine.

Transmitter

Cleaning

Your device has protective coating. However, if not

cleaned regularly you may damage the device or cause

personal injury.

XClean your device daily with a soft, dry tissue.

XNever use running water or immerse the

device in water.

XNever apply pressure while cleaning.

XDo not use alcoholic solvent on the charging contact.

XTo avoid corrosion, use a soft and dry tissue to wipe

o sweat or liquid from the charging contact or device

information on how to keep your device in good

condition.

CROS_Styletto_AX [EN].indd 16CROS_Styletto_AX [EN].indd 16 03-08-2021 13:26:5303-08-2021 13:26:53

17

Drying

You can use conventional products to dry your device

or the optional D&C Charger slimRIC. Ask your Hearing

Care Professional for recommended drying products and

for individual inructions on when to dry your device.

Storage

● Short-term orage (up to several days):

Turn o your device by placing it in the powered

charger.

The charger mu be on. If the charger is not on and

you place your devices in the charger, the devices

are not turned o. Note that when you turn o the

CROS transmitter via a remote control or smartphone

app, the device is not turned o completely. It is in

andby-mode and ill draw some power.

● Long-term orage (weeks, months, ...):

Fir, fully charge your CROS transmitter. Leave it in

the Styletto AX Charger with the lid closed. Once the

device is fully charged, the charger and the CROS

transmitter are turned o automatically.

We recommend using drying products while oring

the device.

At 6 month intervals you will have to charge the device

to avoid an unrecoverable deep-discharge of the

rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Deep-discharged

CROS_Styletto_AX [EN].indd 17CROS_Styletto_AX [EN].indd 17 03-08-2021 13:26:5303-08-2021 13:26:53

batteries cannot be charged anymore and they have

to be replaced. We recommend recharging more

frequently than at intervals of 6 months.

Observe the orage conditions in section "Operating,

transport and orage conditions".

Ear pieces

Cleaning

Cerumen (ear wax) may accumulate on the ear pieces.

This may aect sound quality. Clean the ear pieces daily.

For all types of ear pieces:

XClean the

ear piece right

after removal

with a soft and

dry tissue.

This prevents

that cerumen

becomes dry

and hard.

Exchanging

Exchange andard ear pieces approximately every

three months. Replace them sooner if you notice

cracks or other changes. The procedure for exchanging

andard ear pieces depends on the type of ear piece.
