• If accidentally swallowed, seek medical attention.
Audio input
Your Siemens hearing instruments may be equipped with
audio input capability. This enables you to connect your
hearing instruments to other audio sources such as an FM
system, tape recorder, television, or infrared system. It can
be useful for adults in difficult listening situations and for
children in classrooms. Because the sound is coming directly
from the sound source to the hearing instrument, the signal is
clearer and unaffected by poor room acoustics. Ask your
Audiologist or Hearing Care Provider if this feature may be
appropriate for your needs.
There are two methods for attaching and removing the
audio input shoe. Refer to the next page for the method
you should follow.
WARNING
Risk of injuries caused by electric shock!
Connect audio input only to devices conform to
IEC 60065 (IEC-Standard for audio, video and
other electronic devices).
ATTACHMENT METHOD 1:
Attaching and removing the audio input shoe (Fig. 16):
1. Using the fingernail of your thumb or index finger, open
the battery compartment door to the first catch.
2. Using your fingernail, lift up the audio input flap,
exposing the gold contacts.
3. Close the battery compartment door.
4. Place the gold contacts of the audio input shoe on the
gold contacts under the audio input flap on the BTE.
5. Gently push the audio input shoe into place by pressing
the audio input shoe toward the underside of the hearing
instrument until it snaps into place.
Note: When controlling your Siemens hearing instruments with an
audio input shoe attached to one or both hearing instruments,
the memory button on the remote control or on the instruments
will not change programs. It can be used to select the audio
mode only (audio input only, microphone only, or mixed mode)
if programmed accordingly by your Audiologist or Hearing Care
Provider. The volume can be changed using the volume control
wheel or the remote control.
