A short melody will be played to notify you that the FM receiver has gone into off mode Your FM receiver only scans the channels that are in the channel list. If no channel is receiving an FM signal, the receiver will revert to the original channel.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 managementYour FM receiver contains a predefined list of channels, all of which are functional. You can customize the channel list using Amigo T30/T31. These units can also be used to wirelessly synchronize channels with your FM receiver. The FM receiver can be programmed to wake up in the channel last used or any pre-specified channel. If you are not using Amigo T30/T31 you can still change channels using the Channel Seek button on your FM receiver. Sleep modeYour FM receiver has sleep mode functionality. Whenever the FM signal disappears for more than 7 seconds, the FM receiver will automatically “fall asleep” to conserve battery power. A built-in signal sensor will detect any FM signal. When this signal reappears, your FM receiver will reactivate and the LED will be lit. Should the signal be absent for more than 90 minutes, the FM receiver will automatically drop into off mode. It will then have to be turned on manually. In sleep mode, the hearing aid will disable the two FM programs, but if your FM receiver detects an FM signal, the two programs will be added automatically again.
