Important notice Attaching the Amigo R12 to a hearing device Please familiarise yourself with the entire contents of this guide before using your Amigo R12 receiver. This guide contains safety instructions and important information about use and handling. 1. Open the battery door. 2. Insert a battery into the hearing device. 3. Slide the Amigo R12 on until you feel a small “click” (use of force is unnecessary). 4. Close the battery door carefully. 5. The battery door can be made tamper resistant by turning the screw 45 degrees (optional). Introduction The Amigo R12 is part of Oticon’s Amigo FM product family, which is designed to make listening at school and at home considerably easier. Features LED status indicator Hearing instrument connector Channel seek / Off Note: NEVER attempt to open the receiver casing. Preparing your FM system Hearing instrument operation Setting the system up requires an FM transmitter, an Oticon Amigo R12 and either an Oticon Epoq or an Oticon Vigo hearing instrument. Connect the Amigo R12 to the hearing instrument (see pictures) and switch on the FM transmitter to activate the FM system. Please see the user guide for the FM transmitter for more information. When the Amigo R12 is connected, the hearing instrument will automatically detect the R12 and add two extra programs. The hearing instrument program will default to FM + M (Hearing instrument microphone). If you need to change the setting to FM only, you can switch to the next program on the hearing instrument by using the programme switch button. With the Amigo R12 mounted, the push button of the hearing instrument can at any time be used to switch back and forth between standard programs and the two FM programs. Note: For detailed instructions on handling and use of the hearing instrument, please refer directly to the specific hearing instrument user guide. LED Amigo receiver features The Amigo R12 has a Light Emitting Diode (LED). When this light is on and blinking, it confirms that: • The hearing aid battery is working. • The receiver is ON. • The receiver is receiving an FM signal. The Amigo R12 has Sleep Mode functionality. Whenever the FM signal disappears for more than 7 seconds, the unit will automatically “fall asleep” to conserve battery power. A built-in signal sensor will detect any FM signal. When this signal reappears, the receiver will reactivate and the LED will be lit. Should the signal be absent for more than 90 minutes, the R12 will automatically drop into OFF mode. It will then have to be turned on manually. Programming the LED In sleep mode, the hearing instrument will disable the two FM programs, but if the R12 detects an FM signal, the two programs will be added automatically again. Use an Amigo T20/T21 or an Amigo WRP to program the LED in one of two ways: ON: Blink. The LED will blink when an FM signal is present. OFF: The LED will remain off, even though an FM signal is present. Using with other manufacturers’ products Note: Amigo receivers have no battery. They draw a small amount of power from the hearing aid battery. The Amigo R12 receiver is compatible with most other manufacturers’ FM transmitters; however, Amigo receivers can only be synchronised wirelessly with the Amigo T20, T21 or WRP. Push button channel changer To ascertain whether an FM signal is present, you must ensure that both the transmitter and the receiver are on the same channel. To change channel on the R12, simply turn on the transmitter (on one of the channels pre-programmed in the receiver), and press the push button on the R12. The Amigo R12 has a push button that can be used to change channel. • A short press will launch a search through the pre-defined channel list search. • A longer press (more than two seconds) will turn the Amigo R12 off. A short melody will be played to notify the user that the R12 goes into off mode. Note: The channel selected on the transmitter must be in the receiver channel list. The R12 only scans the channels that are in the channel list. If no channel can be found (because there is no FM signal) it will revert to, and remain on, the original channel. Amigo T20, T21 and WRP If an Amigo T20, T21 or WRP is used with the Amigo R12, the following programmable features will be available: • Multi-channel (can be wirelessly programmed with an Amigo T20, T21 or the WRP) • LED indicator • Manual channel pushbutton • Assigning a name to the receiver • Assigning an ear to the receiver • FM-only gain • FM+M gain • Confirmation beep If more than one channel with a strong FM signal is present, it will lock on to the first one in its channel list. For a different channel, simply press the button again. Channel management The Amigo R12 contains a predefined list of channels, all of which are functional. You can customise the channel list using the Amigo T20, T21 or WRP. These units can also be used to wirelessly synchronise the Amigo R12. Amigo receivers can be programmed to wake up in the channel last used or any pre-specified channel. If you are not using the Amigo T20, T21 transmitter or WRP, you can still change channels using the pushbutton on the R12. Note: When using the R12 together with other manufacturers’ transmitters, the De-Emphasis in the R12 must be disabled to maintain the sound pitch of the system. Troubleshooting Warnings and precautions Solution No sound / no FM reception Check that the hearing aid battery is inserted correctly. Check that the receiver is on and correctly connected. Check that the transmitter is on. Press the SYNC button again. Amigo parts can be dangerous if swallowed: Amigo receivers should be kept out of children’s reach and anyone else who might play with them and cause injury to themselves. Special attention should be paid to prevent children from swallowing them and perhaps choking. If a receiver is swallowed, see a doctor immediately. • NEVER change the battery and never connect the receiver to the hearing instrument in front of infants, small children or people with learning difficulties. 908 64 411 00 / 04.08 Problem System dysfunctions The R12 cannot be synchronised The Amigo system will cease to function if the batteries 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. Synchronisation takes place wirelessly, so if the receiver fails to confirm (with three blinks of the LED), try to move the Amigo T20/T21/WRP closer, farther away or slightly to one side. Then press the SYNC button again. Interference Your receiver has been thoroughly tested for interference, according to the most stringent international standards. But new technical developments constantly bring new products into society, and some may emit electromagnetic radiation, leading to unforeseen interference in hearing instruments. Examples include induction cooking appliances, shop alarm systems, mobile telephones, fax machines, personal computer devices, X-rays, computer tomography etc. Cleaning Being moisture repellent, the Amigo R12 is easy to clean. It should be cleaned on a regular basis, using a damp cloth. Use in aircrafts: • FM systems should not be used on aircrafts without the permission of the flight crew. Please note that Amigo FM solutions can cause interference with other medical devices. Such interference can also be caused by radio signals, power line disturbances, airport metal detectors, electromagnetic fields from other medical devices and electrostatic discharges.
