Getting started Assembling the power plug The power plug comes with several country-specific adapters. Depending on your country you have to assemble the power plug with an adapter: X For US sockets, no adapter is required. Fold out the plugs (left picture). X For all other sockets, an adapter is required (right picture): Fold the plugs in and slide the adapter onto the folded plugs. The adapter clicks noticeably in place. You can now connect the cable with the power plug.
Charging ConnexxAir is partly charged on delivery. Charge it before first use and when the battery is low and the middle LED is flashing orange. Battery is low X Connect the charging cradle with the power plug to a power supply: X Carefully push ConnexxAir in the charging cradle. ConnexxAir is automatically turned off.
X When you take ConnexxAir out of the charging cradle, ConnexxAir is automatically turned on. Further information: ■ A fully charged ConnexxAir can be used for approximately 10 programming sessions before recharging is required. ■ Do not use ConnexxAir for programming while charging.
Turning on and off X Turning on: Shortly press the power button. The middle LED first shines green, then goes off. Left and right LED light up shortly. X Turning off: Press the power button until the middle LED fades off. The middle LED first shines green, then fades off.
Installing the neckloop The neckloop is the antenna for the wireless connection of ConnexxAir and the hearing instruments. X Insert both neckloop plugs all the way. Further information ■ If the neckloop is not plugged in completely, the programming software displays a warning message. ■ If the neckloop is disconnected for more than 15 minutes, ConnexxAir turns automatically off. ■ Some of our remote control units or audio streamers have similar neckloops.
Connecting ConnexxAir X Plug the Bluetooth®* dongle into an USB slot of your PC. X Turn on ConnexxAir: Press the power button. The middle LED first shines green, then goes off. Left and right LED light up shortly. If you are using ConnexxAir or a new dongle for the first time, ConnexxAir searches for the dongle - it is in pairing mode. All three LEDs flash green from left to right . X In the software for programming the hearing instruments (e.g.
The connection is automatically established: As soon as the connection to the PC could be established, the middle LED shines green for 3 seconds, then starts flashing. If the middle LED flashes slowly (once every 3 seconds), the connection to the hearing instruments could not be established. Refer to section "Troubleshooting". If the middle LED flashes quickly (once per second), the connection to the hearing instruments is established. ConnexxAir is ready for programming the hearing instruments.
Programming with ConnexxAir When programming the hearing instruments while your patient is wearing them, you have to ensure that ConnexxAir is worn correctly. Refer to section "Wearing ConnexxAir" When programming hearing instruments that are lying on the table, certain distances must be considered. Refer to section "Programming on the table".
Wearing ConnexxAir In order to function correctly, your patient must wear the hearing instruments and ConnexxAir with the neckloop around the neck. The neckloop is also the antenna. X Unplug one neckloop plug and place the neckloop loosely around the patient's neck ➊. X Insert both neckloop plugs all the way ➋.
Programming on the table If you want to pre-configure the hearing instruments you can also have ConnexxAir and the hearing instruments lying on the table. When programming on the table: X Place the hearing instruments along the neckloop (refer to the picture). X Keep a minimum distance of 3 cm (1.2 inches) between the two hearing instruments. X Keep a distance of 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) between each hearing instrument and ConnexxAir.
