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

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
before inserting this in the charger.
XAsk your Hearing Care Professional for recommended
cleaning products, special care sets, or more
information on how to keep your device in good

17
DRYING
You can use conventional products to dry your device or
the optional Connexx Charging+ Station SR. 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 Connexx Slim-RIC Travel Charger 2 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
batteries cannot be charged anymore and they have
18
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.
In section "Components and names", your Hearing Care
Professional has marked your type of ear piece.
19
XTo remove the old Eartip or Sleeve, follow the
illuration below. Be careful not to pull the receiver
cable.
XTake particular care that
the new Eartip or Sleeve
covers the retention rings
of the receiver fully.
XCheck the rm t of the
new Eartip or Sleeve.
20
PROFESSIONAL MAINTENANCE
Your Hearing Care Professional can perform a thorough
professional cleaning and maintenance.
Cuom-made ear pieces and wax lters should
be exchanged as needed by your Hearing Care
Professional.
Ask your Hearing Care Professional for your individual
recommendation of maintenance intervals and for
support.
