Getting arted

Assembling the power plug

The power plug comes with several country-specic

adapters. Depending on your country you have to

assemble the power plug with an adapter:

XFor US sockets, no adapter is required. Fold out the

plugs (left picture).

XFor all other sockets, an adapter is required

(right picture): Fold the plugs in and slide the adapter

onto the folded plugs. The adapter clicks noticeably in

place.

You can now connect the cable with the power plug.

7

Charging

ConnexxAir is partly charged on delivery. Charge it fully

before r use. Charge it when the battery charge is low

(middle LED is ashing orange).

While ConnexxAir is charging, the charging atus is

indicated by the middle LED:

ConnexxAir can be charged with and without the

charging cradle.

Inalling the neckloop

The neckloop is the antenna for the wireless connection

of ConnexxAir and the hearing

inruments.

XInsert both neckloop plugs all

the way.

Further information:

■ If the neckloop is

disconnected for more than

15 minutes, ConnexxAir turns

automatically o.

■ Some of our remote control

units or audio reamers

have similar neckloops. The

neckloop that is intended for ConnexxAir has a blue

ring around the connector. Do not mix up neckloops.

11

Programming with ConnexxAir

The preferred way of programming with ConnexxAir

is while your client is wearing the hearing inruments.

Refer to section "Wearing ConnexxAir properly" to ensure

that ConnexxAir is worn correctly.

You may also program hearing inruments that are

lying on a table. In this case certain diances mu be

considered. Refer to section "Programming on the table".

During the programming process ConnexxAir

can reach other hearing inruments outside the

neckloop.

XKeep a minimum diance of 1 m (40 inches) to

other hearing inruments.

Wireless diagnoic or measuring devices that are

worn around the neck or shoulders may diurb

ConnexxAir.

XTurn o those devices while using ConnexxAir.

XIf turning o is not possible, keep a minimum

diance of 5 cm (2 inches) between ConnexxAir

(including the neckloop) and those devices.

12

Wearing ConnexxAir properly

In order to function correctly, your client mu wear

ConnexxAir with the neckloop around the neck.

XUnplug one neckloop plug and place the neckloop

loosely around the client's neck ➊.

XEnsure both neckloop plugs are inserted all the

way ➋.

Programming on a table

If you want to pre-congure the hearing inruments you

can also use ConnexxAir

while the hearing inruments

are lying on a table.

When programming on a

table:

XPlace the hearing

inruments along the

neckloop (refer to the

picture).

XKeep a minimum diance

of 3 cm (1.2 inches)

between the two hearing

inruments.

XKeep a diance of 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) between

each hearing inrument and ConnexxAir.

5 –

10 cm

(2 – 4‘‘)

> 3 cm

(> 1.2‘‘)

Connecting ConnexxAir

To connect ConnexxAir with the PC and the hearing

inruments, you need the dongle and the programming

software for hearing inruments, e.g. Connexx.

Connecting dongle and ConnexxAir:

XPlug the Bluetooth®* dongle into an USB slot of your

PC.

XStart the programming software and select a client.

XTurn on ConnexxAir. Refer to section

"Turning on and o".

XWhen using ConnexxAir for the r time, ConnexxAir
