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 care fully before you start using the device.
Intended use
The FM+DEX is a battery-powered device intended to transmit (or
stream) signals to Widex hearing aids using the wireless Widex-
Link technology; i.e. signals are received, altered and transmitted
to the hearing aid.
6
Description of device
The FM+DEX is offered in order to support Widex hearing aids
without DAI (direct audio input) 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 com-
puter or portable unit to the device.
The FM+DEX is worn on a neck loop antenna or attached directly
to clothing using the included clip.
If you need help to identify the serial number (usually six or seven
digits) on the product, please contact your hearing care profes-
sional.

GETTING STARTED
Charging the battery
The device 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 country versions. The version you have may
therefore not look exactly as illustrated in this booklet.
12
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 4 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. Contact your hearing care pro-
fessional.

depending on whether you wish to receive Telecoil, FM or Audio
signals. If you wish to use the Telecoil function, you just need to
press the toggle key until the T LED is green. However, to prepare
for FM or Audio reception, you need to do the following:
