Overview Before you start Test/pair buttons Bluetooth LED Sensor LED Power supply The Visit Smart hub is a wireless communications hub that connects your home to your hearing aids. It will help you to hear when the doorbell or phone rings, when your loved one needs you or if the smoke alarm goes off.

Setting up the Smart hub Pairing with easyTek™ 1 Pull the battery tab to start the unit. Remove the protective film from the Velcro® and mount the Smart hub on the wall. 2 Plug the power supply into the mains outlet. 3 Press and hold the top button until the top led starts to blink in blue.

Pairing with miniTek™ Testing the connection 1 Press and hold the button on your miniTek for 5s to initiate pairing. All buttons will then light up for 3s to show that it’s in pairing mode. 2 While searching for a Bluetooth® device, the button will start to blink.

Welcome home signal When you get home, for example after work, the Visit Smart hub will automatically reconnect your hearing aids to the monitors in your house (provided that the streamer is on). Within minutes you will hear an acknowledge signal that tells you that the system is up and running. If you don’t hear the signal, see Troubleshooting on page 10.
