Channel Seek button and off function Your FM receiver has a Channel Seek button that can change channel and turn the receiver off. Sleep mode • A longer press (more than two seconds) will turn the FM receiver off. A short melody will be played to notify you that the FM receiver has gone into off mode Your 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. 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. 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. 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.
