Basic use and wearing 3.1 What is a Streamer The Streamer is a body-worn device that can connect your hearing instruments wirelessly to many different sound and communication media and thus, enables your instruments to function as wireless headphones. If you have two hearing instruments, the sound will be directed to both ears. Through the Streamer, your hearing instruments can connect to a number of audio sources and allows you to • use a mobile phone fully hands-free. • listen to music and audio from the radio, computer, portable music players (like mp3’s) You can also use the Streamer as a remote control of the volume in the hearing instruments. 3.2 How to wear it To make sure that you receive the best signal through the Streamer, it must be kept inside the Body Area Network. This is the area surrounding the hearing instruments within a range of approx. 0,5 meter. The wireless function enabling the Streamer and hearing instruments to communicate, called EarStream, operates at extremely low power levels. The Streamer can be worn and carried in various ways to satisfy your personal taste, clothing and life style. 8 9 When using the Streamer the best result is always achieved by using the neck strap. The following accessories are included: • neck strap to be used to carry and use the Streamer hands-free in a lavaliere. • pocket clip to be used to attach the Streamer to a pocket / inside a pocket / or belt while not streaming audio. Only one of the carrying devices can be attached to the Streamer at a time. The devices are clicked onto the Streamer by pressing the device onto the back of the streamer aligning the two points of attachments. Use a finger nail to lift and release the device from the Streamer again. ON OFF IMPORTANT NOTICE Please, use the neck strap carefully. Due to security reasons (to avoid strangulation) the neck strap will automatically break if it gets caught in something. Do not shorten or modify the neck strap in any way, i.e. such as tie a knob to shorten the length. If a neck strap breaks, it can not be repaired and must be renewed. Consult your Hearing Care Professional for a replacement. 10 11 3.3 How to use the Streamer 1. The best listening quality is achieved by using the neck strap, i.e. hands...
