Introduction

To get the best out of an FM system, it must be accurately fi tted and carefully custom-

ized to fi t the individual needs of the user. Oticon Amigo offers the performance and 

fl exibility to achieve this. 

The Amigo product family is extremely versatile, making life easier for users in school 

settings. Amigo transmitters and receivers can be used with virtually all Behind-the-Ear 

hearing instruments, as well as connected to cochlear implants.

This guide will introduce you to the members of the Amigo family. And it will take 

you, step by step, through the fi tting, programming and verifi cation of the transmitters 

and receivers. 

Once you get started, you’ll realize just how easy Amigo is to use – for adults and chil-

dren alike!
