Preparing your Amigo system Inserting battery Remove the battery lid on the back of the WRP and insert the rechargeable battery remember to position the battery according to the markings (+/ -) on the label. Then replace the battery lid. The WRP can then be used to charge the battery that came in the package. Note: The positive and negative ends of the battery may appear similar, so doublecheck that the battery is positioned correctly.
Charging the battery To charge the battery, plug in the charger as shown in the picture. The Amigo WRP uses one AA rechargeable NiMH battery, which must be charged for at least 14 hours before being used for the first time. The WRP offers failsafe charging, which prevents alkaline batteries being charged accidentally. Battery charging The display on the WRP will indicate when the unit is charging. Also, the LED will turn on and shine green.
If you do not have time to charge the battery that came with the WRP, you can replace the battery with any of the following: • Special “silver-banded” rechargeable batteries (Only available through your Hearing Care Professional, these are the only batteries that can be recharged inside the transmitter.) • Standard, rechargeable NiMH batteries These cannot be recharged inside the transmitter, but must be charged in a separate charger (these batteries and charger are available at electronics stores).
Select language and country (first time only) Turn the WRP on by pressing and holding the On/Off button for two seconds. Press ▲ or ▼ to select language, and confirm by pressing the SYNC button. To select your country, use the ▲ or ▼ buttons, and confirm by pressing the SYNC button.

Changing the pin orientation If the pins on the Amigo receiver do not match the holes on the audio shoe, they can be rotated in steps of 90°. Simply pull the tab on both sides of the receiver back simultaneously, twist the pins and push the tab back in. Amigo receivers can be positioned with the LED facing to the front or the back.

Attaching the universal Amigo receivers to a hearing instrument Amigo R1 and R2 receivers are attached to the hearing instrument via an audio shoe. First plug the receiver into the audio shoe. Then attach the audio shoe to the hearing instrument.
Using Amigo with Sumo instruments • Sumo detects the Amigo receiver and disables the telecoil if the receiver is on • Set the switch on the R1/R2 receiver to FM+HA. You then must set the hearing aid switch as noted here to operate the receiver function. Use the receiver switch to turn the receiver off. 2/T = FM only 1/MT = FM+Hearing instrument M = Hearing instrument only SUMO DM with the dedicated, Amigo R7 receiver.

Warnings Amigo parts can be dangerous if swallowed: • The Amigo system is not a toy and therefore should be kept out of the reach of children and anyone else who might swallow parts or otherwise cause injury to themselves. Special attention should be paid to the smaller components in order to prevent children from swallowing them and choking. • Never change the battery and never connect the receiver to the hearing instrument in front of infants, small children or persons with learning difficulties.
Risk of harm caused by unintentional noise that may muffle important signals System dysfunctions: The Amigo system will cease to function if the batteries have run out. The system may also produce a high whistling noise (feedback) if the battery is low, or if it is subjected to loud sound while the microphone is off but the receiver is still on. Users should be aware that these sounds should not be confused with warning sounds – e.g. car horns in traffic.
