Fitting Step
The connection bars indicate whether the instruments are either:
• not connected (grey) – data might be changed in Genie but
are not saved in the instrument.
• Connected and using settings from genie (yellow)
• Connected and settings are programmed and stored in the
instrument (green).
Instruments can be fine tuned in each of 9 independent frequency
channels. By default, the 9 channels are gathered in three fre-
quency regions: LF, MF and HF.
Soft (45 dB SPL), Moderate (65 dB SPL) and Loud (80 dB SPL) input
levels can be adjusted. Select all three LF, MF or HF controls by
clicking the LF, MF or HF button in the table.
By selecting “All”, all gain controls will be selected.
The colours of the control values are blue (left) and red (right)
when the device is at prescribed settings.
If the control value is no longer at prescribed settings, the value
turns black.

Genie will import the age entered into noah for the
first fit of Chili. If you do not enter the client’s age,
the default is 70-79 years.
