Independent microphone The Conversor Pro receiver has a green light when it is “paired” correctly with the transmitter*. If the light goes Red, the Battery is low and operation may stop within the hour. If the receiver’s light is half Red and half Green the receiver is not paired with the transmitter, and the receiver uses its internal microphone. 5. To use The Conversor Pro Receiver on its own The Conversor Pro Receiver has an onboard microphone which enables it to be used as an assistive Listening Device without the Transmitter. To use in this mode, turn on only the Receiver. *When the receiver is too far away from the transmitter, the receiver automatically swiches to the onboard microphone. The transmitter has range of approximately 20 metres. *Volume Memory – The Conversor Pro Receiver automatically stores the most recent volume level selected before the unit was switched off. This level remains selected until a new level is chosen. Each level is indicated by a “beep” when the volume control is pressed. When the top of the volume range is reached a higher pitch “beep” can be heard. Page 5 39123/Conversor TV Pro A3 user guide 21/12/09 14:58 6. How to Listen with Conversor TV Pro Switch your hearing instrument to 'T', but do not adjust its volume control. Ensure the TV is switched on and the TV Pro transmitter green light is on. As you turn up the volume control on the Receiver, you should begin to hear sound transmitted from the TV clearly. 7. Checking the sound balance When the Hearing Instrument is set to the “T” Setting, a buzz may be heard if the Hearing Instrument is close to strip lighting, computers or TV Screens. Consult your Audiologist for advice on adjusting or replacing the Telecoil for optimum use. It is important to match the volume levels of your hearing instrument with Conversor Pro Receiver, so that you can switch between the two without any increase or decrease in sound level. 8. Sockets and Connections Conversor Pro receiver has one 3.5mm Jack Socket which is used for both battery charging and for connection to headphones. Sockets and Connections – Transmitter The Conversor TV Pro Transmitter can be connected to the TV and other audio devices as described below. The following Accessories are included in your package. Additional units can be purchased by contacting your Distributor, or Conversor Limited. 1. Plug one of the leads from the charger into the power socket on the TV Pro Transmitter. Switch on the power and leave permanently connected. 2. Connecting to Radio or Stereo Hi-Fi Equipment. Use the enclosed Audio Jack Cable supplied to connect to the audio devices. Plug one end into The Transmitter Audio Input Socket and other end to the audio device via the headphone socket. 3. Connecting to the Television, Sky or Cable box. Use the enclosed TV Adaptor cable (SCART block not for use in the USA). For connection to the audio device, plug the Phono cables supplied into the SCART block and connect it to the television, Sky or Cable box. Connect the jack pin end to the Transmitter. Page 6 39123/Conversor TV Pro A3 user guide 21/12/09 14:58 1. Direct Audio Input (TV Scart Adaptor) The SCART socket is a multi pin socket found on the rear of many Televisions, Sky and Cable boxes. By connecting the Scart Adaptor with the Phono Cables to The Conversor TV Pro transmitter, connection to the device is made simple and it allows others to listen to the TV at the same time. 2. Direct Audio Input (Phono Cables only) If your audio device does not have a SCART socket on the rear panel, it will most likely have Audio Phono Sockets. These are small circular rings with a red or white plastic insert, and they may be located on the front or rear of the audio device (Please refer to your audio device owner’s manual). As with the SCART Adaptor, connection does not interrupt sound to the speakers, allowing others to listen at the same time. You can connect The Conversor TV Pro transmitter into these sockets using the Phono Cables. 3. Direct Audio Input (Audio Jack Cable) (not supplied) Most current TV, Radio or Stereo models have a headphone socket on the front panel. Plug the Audio Jack Cable into this socket to connect the audio device to The Conversor TV Pro transmitter. By plugging the Audio Jack Cable into the headphone socket on the TV or Audio Device, the speaker of the audio device will be disconnected, so that other people cannot listen at the same time. Sockets and Connections – Receiver The Conversor Pro Reciever can also be used with an earpiece or binaural headphones instead of using your Hearing Instrument, as described below. Simply plug the ear piece or headphones jack into the socket located on the bottom of The Conversor Pro Receiver. This socket is an Audio Output Socket. It can also be used to connect the output to desktop speakers for added amplification. For further information on how to use it in this way, please contact your Distributor or Conversor Limited. Page 7 39123/Conversor TV Pro A3 user guide 21/12/09 14:58 Care Instructions • • • • • • The Conversor TV Pro has been calibrated for optimum use. Do not subject The Conversor TV Pro Transmitter or Receiver to heavy shock. Keep both units away from moisture and high humidity – they are not waterproof. Try to avoid long periods of exposure to direct sunlight. Gently coil the Receiver Neck Loop for storage rather than tightly winding it around the unit. It contains a wire and quick release connection, which could be damaged. Do not attempt to open either The Conversor TV Pro Transmitter or Receiver casing (other than the battery compartment to change the battery). They contain no user-serviceable parts. Opening either unit will invalidate the Manufacturer’s Warranty (See over). Conversor TV Pro Transmitter The Conversor Pro Pendant Receiver Changing the Battery in the Receiver Lithium batteries are available from your distributor or audiologist, and they can replace them for you. You can also change them yourself, following these instructions: Page 8 39123/Conversor TV Pro A3 user guide 21/12/09 14:58 Receiver Battery Changing 1. Slide open the battery cover. 2. Remove the existing battery. 3. Pull out the connector. 4. Insert the new battery into the battery socket as shown. Pay particular attention that the ridge of the connector plug fits into the groove of the fixed connector socket. 5. Tuck in the wires and replace the battery cover. Page 9 39123/Conversor TV Pro A3 user guide 21/12/09 14:58 Troubleshooting Transmitter & Receiver do not start: Please ensure that the charger is plugged into the Transmitter and the green light is on and ensure that the Receiver is charged correctly. The ON/OFF button must be pressed to operate the receiver. A green light will glow behind the button to signal that the unit is on. If it still does not work, please check that the charger leads are connected properly as well as the connection to the mains, then recharge. If this still does not solve the problem, please contact your distributor for a battery check / change. Poor sound quality: Please ensure that the range in which you are trying to operate does not exceed the operating distance. Check that the batteries are fully charged, as this can result in a drop in sound quality and operating range. If the batteries are low, the led will change from green to red. Poor range and interference: Conversor TV Pro has been designed for optimum sound quality and range. In certain environments consisting of iron / steel or metalwork frames, the range can be reduced. There may also be some interfering equipment close by such as strip lighting, PC equipment, fans or motors. These items give off an electrical magnetic field, which can interfere with radio equipment. NOTE: To identify if the environment you are in is likely to give any interference, select the Telecoil setting on your Hearing Instrument without Conversor TV Pro switched on, and walk around the room to see if there are any unusual sounds being picked up by the Hearing Instrument. If a lot of interference is heard, please be aware that by using Conversor TV Pro, these sounds will be amplified.
