8 93. Basic use and wearing3.1 What is a StreamerThe Streamer is a body-worn device that can connect your hearing instruments wirelessly to many diff erent sound and communication media and thus, ena-bles your instruments to function as wireless headphones.If you have two hearing instruments, the sound will be directed to both ears.Through the Streamer, your hearing instruments can connect to a number of audio sources and allows you to• use a mobile phone fully hands-free.• listen to music and audio from the radio, computer, portable music players (like mp3’s) You can also use the Streamer as a remote control of the volume in the hearing instruments. 3.2 How to wear itTo make sure that you receive the best signal through the Streamer, it must be kept inside the Body Area Network. This is the area surround-ing the hearing instruments within a range of approx. 0,5 meter. The wireless function ena-bling the Streamer and hearing instruments to communicate, called EarStream, operates at extremely low power levels. The Streamer can be worn and carried in various ways to satisfy your personal taste, clothing and life style.
10 11When using the Streamer the best result is always achieved by using the neck strap.The following accessories are included:• neck strap to be used to carry and use the Streamer hands-free in a lavaliere.• pocket clip to be used to attach the Streamer to a pocket / inside a pocket / or belt while not streaming audio. Only one of the carrying devices can be attached to the Streamer at a time. The devices are clicked onto the Streamer by pressing the device onto the back of the streamer aligning the two points of attachments. Use a fi nger nail to lift and release the device from the Streamer again. ON OFF3.3 How to use the Streamer1. The best listening quality is achieved by using the neck strap, i.e. hands free around the neck. The neck strap enhances the sound quality because it has an additional antenna built-in. 2. The Streamer can be kept in a pocket when not streaming audio, however still ready to receive a phone call.3. The Streamer can be handheld during a phone conversation by holding it close to the mouth. This ensures good quality of your speech brought to the other person.4. When using the Streamer outside in strong wind, the sensitive microphone should be protected against wind noise, i.e. avoid the wind going directly into the microphone.IMPORTANT NOTICEPlease, use the neck strap carefully. Due to security reasons (to avoid strangulation) the neck strap will automatically break if it gets caught in something. Do not shorten or modify the neck strap in any way, i.e. such as tie a knob to shorten the length.If a neck strap breaks, it cannot be repaired and must be renewed. New neck straps can be purchased at your local Hearing Care Professional.If a neck strap breaks, it can not be repaired and must be renewed. Consult your Hearing Care Professional for a replacement.
12 135. Like a normal phone, the Streamer microphone is sensitive to mechanical noise (handling, knocking and scratching). Make sure that the Streamer is positioned and held calmly and still during a phone conversation.6. The microphone must be oriented directly towards your mouth while speaking within a distance from 10 to 30 cm (4 – 12 inches). This is ensured when using the neck strap.7. Depending on the placement of the Streamer minor drop outs of sound can occur. If you have two hearing instruments, sound should remain in one ear even though a drop out is happening. (To prevent drop outs, the neck strap should be used).The following illustration show how the Streamer should be placed during use.Hands freeNeck StrapPurpose: Mobile Phone, Music, PC, Stand-by, Remote Control etc.Hand heldIn your hand In the pocketPurpose: Mobile Phone Purpose: Remote Control, Stand-by
14 154. Streamer wireless ranges4.1 EarStream rangeThe Streamer has a digital wireless transmitter (EarStream) built-in that streams information to your hearing instruments. The EarStream radio is acti-vated automatically when requested and cannot be permanently switched off . When the Streamer is streaming audio, the range to the hearing instrument is approx. 0.5 meter (20 inches). This means that the Body Area Network has an outer perimeter 0,5 meter from the ears and that the Streamer must be used inside this perimeter.The range could be reduced by metal objects and strong magnetic fi elds.Use of the neck strap is strongly recommended to achieve optimal EarStream performance. Streamer to hearing instruments: 0.5 meter rangeWhen the Streamer is used for remote volume control only or just “stand-by” (ready for incoming phone call) the range can expand up to 1 meter.4.2 Bluetooth rangeThe Streamer has a Bluetooth transmitter built-in that can be manually turned on/off as a separate function.Bluetooth is used to communicate and send audio from your external sound and communication units, like a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone.The wireless range from the Streamer to a mobile phone is 10 meters (33 feet) in open space. Bluetooth range is reduced by objects between the Streamer and the mobile phone. The range also depends on the quality of the antenna of the other device.Mobile phone distance to/from the Streamer: 10 meters range
16 175. Battery life and maintenanceThe Streamer has a built-in rechargeable battery. Always start by charging your new Streamer for 2-4 hours until fully charged.The battery life of the Streamer depends on the usage.USE BATTERY LIFE*Talking in mobile phone 5 hoursListening to music with Bluetooth stereo wireless connection5 hoursListening to music / audio with wired connection6 hoursStand-by (BT on, no streaming) 70 hoursBluetooth off 2 yearsThe table is based on a fully charged new battery.* the maximum time your battery will run before it must be recharged.Even though the Streamer has no dedicated on/off button, turning off Bluetooth will result in a prolonged battery life.5.1 Charging the StreamerThe best way to preserve capacity on the battery is to charge it frequently. The Streamer should be charged every night to always ensure battery life for a full day of operation.To charge the Streamer, connect the power adapter cord to the mini USB connector placed at the button of the Streamer.
18 19Included in the package, you will also fi nd a USB cord that can be used to connect and charge the Streamer from a PC, allowing for frequent charging in the offi ce.The battery status indicator fl ashes RED when the battery is very low. The battery low condition is also acoustically indicated by two beeps in the hear-ing instruments. Make sure to always charge the battery when the status indicator fl ashes.When charging, the status indicator fl ashes GREEN. When the status indicator shows a fi xed green light, the battery is fully charged. When unplugging the fully charged Streamer from the charger, the status indicator will switch off .STATUS INDICATOR MEANING CONDITIONSteady red light Low battery ~ 20 min talk time left Flashing red light Very low battery ~ 5 min talk time leftFlashing green lightBattery charging Do not disconnect chargerSteady green lightBattery fully charged Ready to goFull recharging of the battery will take approx. 5 hours. The Streamer can be charged during use as well. This will prolong the charging time.Please, check that the device you connect the Streamer to via the USB cable has been approved according to international security standards.IMPORTANT NOTICEThe battery should be prevented from being drained completely. The better the battery is treated, the longer it will keep its capacity.The battery can not be replaced by the user. The Streamer cannot be opened without damaging it.
20 216. Functional description This section provides a detailed description of each function. An overview of the visual and audio indications provided by the Streamer and the hearing instruments are described in section 7 and 8.6.1 Key lockTo prevent accidental key presses, the Streamer has a key lock function.The key lock is operated by the slider on top of the Streamer marked with the padlock symbol. When the slider reveals the GREEN mark, the keys can be operated. When the slider covers the green mark, the keys are locked.The Streamer cannot be operated when the keys are locked, apart from accept-ing a call from the mobile phone. (All keys will then be active until the call is terminated). If you try to operate the Streamer while the keys are locked, the back light in the buttons will fl ash a few times to indicate the non-operational mode of keys in the Streamer.The key lock should not be seen or perceived as an ON / OFF function.
22 236.2 Principle OperationSome of the Streamer buttons have more functions depending on the listen-ing situation and the duration of the press, i.e. how long a button is activated. Duration of button presses is defi ned as:Key Press defi nitions DurationShort Less than 1 secondLong Approx. 2 seconds Very long More than 4 secondsNote:Audio streaming is one-way communication from the Streamer to the hearing instruments i.e. the Streamer has no information about the state of the hearing instruments. When audio streaming is stopped, the Streamer instructs the hearing instruments to release controls and resume normal operation. If the hearing instruments for some reason during a streaming situation do no longer receive the audio information from the Streamer for a period of 5 seconds, the hearing instruments will themselves automatically return to normal operation.The Streamer and a set of hearing instruments is a secure system. The hearing instrument(s) will only accept audio streaming from the Streamer to which they are linked. (Linking have been done by the Hearing Care Professional). This en-sures that other Epoq instruments cannot intercept phone calls or audio from your Streamer.
24 256.3 Using a mobile phone The Streamer allows you to use a mobile phone in conjunction with your hearing instruments. Together, the hearing instruments and the Streamer works similar to a wireless Bluetooth headset. If you have two hearing instruments you will have the speech from your conversation in both ears for optimal intelligibility. In noisy environments it may be necessary to position the Streamer closer to your mouth.By operating the phone button, you can;Accept an incoming phone call Short press Disconnect a phone call Short pressReject an incoming phone call Long press During a phone conversation, the volume level can be adjusted using the volume control on the Streamer. 6.3.1 Preparing the Streamer and mobile phoneThe Bluetooth function between the Streamer and the mobile phone must be prepared so the two devices can connect and work together. This initial confi guration of the devices is referred to as pairing. If you have not paired the Streamer to your mobile phone, you should follow the pairing guidelines in section 6.9. The following operations require that a mobile phone is connected to the Streamer and the Streamer is inside the wireless working ranges of the mobile phone and the hearing instruments.Reconnection TipNormally, two paired Bluetooth devices will fi nd each other when turned on. If the devices do not connect automatically or have not been set up to connect automatically, the devices must be connected manually.Always turn on the mobile phone before turning on the Bluetooth function in the Streamer.
26 276.3.2 Incoming Call When an incoming call is received by the Streamer, a ringing tune appears in the instruments. The incoming call is also shown on the Streamer by the fl ashing green rim light around the phone button.When accepting the incoming call, your hearing instruments will automati-cally switch to a dedicated Streamer phone program.While a phone call is active, the green rim light around the phone button will switch to constant light.Note: It will take about 1 second before the link from the mobile phone to the hearing instruments is established.6.3.3 Making a phone call Before making a phone call, make sure that the Streamer is inside the Body Area Network, e.g. by using the neck strap.To make a phone call, you must use the mobile phone keyboard just as making a normal call from the phone. The Streamer and the hearing instruments will automatically switch to headset functionality when you make a phone call.The mobile phone automatically makes a connection to the Streamer and to the hearing instruments as soon as the call is active.
28 296.3.4 Phone buttonThe table shows how to use the Streamer for incoming phone calls. Short press When a connected mobile phone is ringing, a short press will answer the incoming call. An active phone call is terminated also with a short press. The Streamer can receive an incoming call while streaming other types of audio, e.g. when you are listening to music.Long press When a connected phone is ringing, a long press will reject the incoming call. No action will be applied to the hearing instruments.Some mobile phones will also support the following additional dedicated Bluetooth features:Voice DialIf this is implemented in the connected mobile phone, the function will be activated by pressing the Streamer phone button shortly. Last Number RedialIf this is implemented in the connected mobile phone, the function will be activated by a long press on the Streamer phone button. These two features cannot be activated during another phone call or when listening to music with the Streamer.Listening TipWhen a phone call is started, the microphones in your hearing instruments are always switched on, allowing you to hear the acoustical sound from the surrounding environment.To focus on the phone conversation, especially in noise situations, you can switch off the hearing instrument microphones by pressing the Streamer audio button for two seconds.
30 316.4 Listening to Audio sourcesThe Streamer can connect your hearing instruments to many dif-ferent audio sources and allows you to use your hearing instru-ments to function as wireless headphones.An audio source can be connected to your hearing instruments through the Streamer in two ways:• by wired input to the micro jack• by a wireless Bluetooth connectionFrom the audio button on the Streamer, you can start and stop audio streaming to the hearing instruments. Before streaming audio, you must place the Streamer inside the Body Area Network. It is recommended to use the neck strap.Audio streaming can be activated in the hearing instruments independent of which program you have selected in your hearing instruments.6.4.1 Connecting to wired audio inputWhen the included audio cable is connected to an audio player and the Streamer, the Streamer starts streaming after the audio button is pressed shortly. The light around the audio button turns on constant light (see section 7)Use the included audio cable to connect the Streamer to the audio source.
32 33Since the Streamer can handle multiple audio sources, the following describes how the Streamer will react to various operations:• If Bluetooth audio streaming is active when the jack is inserted and the audio button is pressed again, the Bluetooth audio is stopped and the wired audio is streamed instead (priority control). When the jack is re-moved Bluetooth audio does NOT automatically resume, but must be activated by pressing the audio button shortly again.• If a phone call is active when the jack is inserted, the call is NOT terminated. • When the jack is removed during audio streaming, the Streamer stops audio streaming and the hearing instruments return to standard program.• If the audio button is pressed without a jack connected, streaming will not start.6.4.2 Connecting to a Bluetooth audio sourceThe Bluetooth function between the Streamer and the audio source must be prepared so the two devices can connect and work together. This initial confi guration of the devices is referred to as pairing. If you have not paired the Streamer to your Bluetooth audio source, you should follow the pairing guide lines in section 6.9.A Bluetooth audio source can be connected to the Streamer when:• the Bluetooth function of the Streamer is turned on • the Bluetooth enabled audio source is turned on• when the Streamer and audio source is inside their Bluetooth rangeFirst turn on the Bluetooth function on the Streamer before turning on the audio source.If more than one Bluetooth audio source is present e.g. two Bluetooth Stereo devices, the Streamer will connect to only one of them. If possible, this will be the last one connected.It is not possible to seamlessly switch between two Bluetooth audio sources. (One Bluetooth device must be turned off or moved out of range from the Streamer before the second device is turned on or moved inside the range of the Streamer).
34 356.4.3 Audio buttonThe table shows how to use the Streamer with all types of audio streamingShort pressA short press starts/stops streaming of the available audio. The available audio source can be wired audio or a Blue-tooth enabled stereo / music player. Streaming from audio sources is prioritized by the Streamer, priority control is in this order:1. Wired audio2. Bluetooth StereoWhen no wired connection is present, the Streamer will attempt to connect to the last connected Bluetooth device. This will take a few seconds and in that time the orange light around the audio button will blink (see section 7).Note that phone calls will be received when listening to music/audioLong pressTurn the microphones on/off in the hearing instruments while streaming audio. When the microphones are activated in the hearing instruments, both the streamed audio and the environment sounds can be heard. Note that this will reset the volume control to the preferred level.6.5 Volume ControlThe volume control allows you to remotely adjust the sound level in the hearing instruments in all listening situations to achieve a good and convenient listening result.Listening TipWhen audio streaming is started, the microphones in your hearing instru-ments are always switched off , allowing you to focus on the audio being played.To also hear the acoustical sound from the environment, you can switch on the hearing instrument microphones by pressing the Streamer audio button for 2 seconds.
36 37The volume control is functioning as described in the tableA short press adjusts the volume level up or down in the hearing instruments. If you have 2 hearing instruments, volume is adjusted in both hearing instruments at the same time. The volume can be turned up to 4 steps up and 8 steps down. Each step is indicated by a click in the hearing instruments.Two beep indicates that the preferred volume level is reached.The volume control can be used during all types of audio stream-ing (i.e. listening to music or in phone call) but also when the Streamer is not streaming audio.During audio streaming, adjusting the volume can only be done on the Streamer.The controls on the hearing instruments are disabled.When not streaming audio, adjusting the volume can be done on both the Streamer and on the hearing instruments.the Streamer works as remote control of the volume control in addition to the volume control on the hearing instruments.6.6 Bluetooth buttonBluetooth is the wireless application that connects the Streamer to external wireless audio sources. Bluetooth is a global standard used in many electronic media. Most Bluetooth enabled devices will work together.To see whether an electronic media has a built-in Bluetooth function, you may look for the Bluetooth symbol: Most mobile phones today have Bluetooth built-in. The Bluetooth function must always be turned on when you need or expect to use and communicate with your Bluetooth devices.
39The basic operation of the Bluetooth function in described in the following table. Short pressA short press will prompt the status of the Bluetooth function.If Bluetooth is on, the rim light around the button will light for a few seconds.Long press This switches the Bluetooth function on/off in the Streamer.When Bluetooth is on, the rim light around the button fades in and out (like a heart beat).Bluetooth must be active to connect with the Streamer.Very long press(7 sec.)This activates the Bluetooth pairing mode. See section 6.9 describing the pairing sequence.Bluetooth must be turned off before the Streamer can enter the pairing mode. Pairing mode is active for 120 seconds or until the pairing is complete. Pairing can be cancelled manually with a long press on the Bluetooth button. The Streamer can be paired with up to 8 devices at the same time. When the max number is reached, the Streamer starts overwriting the oldest pairings. When not necessary for use, the Bluetooth function can be switched off to save battery power. (See section 5).
40 416.7 Connecting to Bluetooth devicesWhenever the Bluetooth function in the Streamer or in the external audio source, has been turned off , the devices must fi nd and connect to each other again when turned on. Reconnection TipNormally, two paired Bluetooth devices will fi nd each other when turned on. If the devices do not connect automatically or have not been set up to connect automatically, the devices must be connected manually.Always turn on the mobile phone before turning on the Bluetooth function in the Streamer.Refer to the manual of the mobile phone or audio source for detailed in-struction on how the device connects and how connecting can be manually operated.6.8 Out of range handling BluetoothIf the Streamer is brought out of the Bluetooth range of the mobile phone, the connection is momentarily lost. Normally, the devices will re-connect when they are inside the Bluetooth range again. If the Bluetooth connection is lost during a phone call, the phone will hang up (this is standard Bluetooth headset behaviour).If the Bluetooth connection is lost to an audio / music player while streaming, the audio streaming stops and must be started again when the devices are inside their Bluetooth range again.6.9 Pairing to a Bluetooth deviceBefore using the Streamer with a Bluetooth mobile phone or a Bluetooth enabled audio source, the Streamer must be paired to the device. This means, a secure relationship is established between the two units, enabling them to identify each other and communicate whenever they are turned on and within range of each other. You only have to make the pairing once as the units will hereafter recognize each other.Pairing is done by putting both units (i.e. the Streamer and the device) into pairing mode. Here, the units automatically will search for and fi nd each other. [The units must be kept only a few meters apart]. The following few basic steps will take you through a pairing sequence: 1. Prepare DeviceMake sure that the Bluetooth function is turned on in the mobile phone or the audio source. Find the menu or identify the activation required to start the pairing process. Refer to the manual of the mobile phone or audio device to be paired with for detailed instruction on how to conduct the pairing. Normally, it is referred to as “fi nd new audio equipment” and set up the device as instructed.
42 432. Set Streamer into pairing modeMake sure that the Bluetooth function of the Streamer is turned off .The Streamer is then put into paring mode by a very long press of 7 seconds on the Bluetooth button until it fl ashes. The Streamer is now in pairing mode and awaits the device, indicated by the fast blinking blue light. See also section 6.6 for further info on Streamer Bluetooth pairing mode3. Start Pairing Activate the pairing feature on the device.The device is now searching for active Bluetooth devices in the area.When the Streamer is found by the device, the word ‘Streamer’ will appear in the display of the device (if featured).Go to the word ‘Streamer’ and press select or OK.4. Enter Pin codeThe Streamer code is: 0000 (four zeros)Upon entering the pin code, the Streamer and the device are now paired. Depending of the external Bluetooth device, you might also have to manually activate the connection between the Streamer and the device (e.g. the mobile phone). This is normally done by selecting “Connect.” in the display menu.For further Epoq Streamer pairing and product support, visit www.oticon.comMobile phone issues:After a successful pairing sequence, a symbol should appear in the mobile phone display (e.g. a headphone), indicating that a headset is now connected to the phone and that the phone can only be used via the Streamer and hearing instruments. Diff erent phones have diff erent behaviour when used with a wireless Bluetooth headset - like a Streamer. If a problem occurs in the connection between your mobile phone and the Streamer, you should generally consult your mobile phone manual for detailed trouble shooting. 6.10 MicrophoneThe microphone in the Streamer is active only during a phone call. In all other situations the microphone is turned off .When using the Streamer for phone communication, the microphone must be placed 10 – 40 cm from the mouth in order to ensure good sound quality to the person at the other end of the line.
44 456.11 Call waitingThe Streamer supports call waiting by sending notifi cation to the hearing instruments if a second call is incoming during an active call. The audible notifi cation is added to the phone conversation by the telecom provider.To switch to the second call, the mobile phone must be operated. Refer to the instructions of the mobile phone.6.12 Mobile phone soundsSome mobile phones will try to send their ringing tones, key-press beeps, keyboard locked beep, etc. to any connected headset over the Bluetooth con-nection. (In mobile phone manuals, this is normally referred to as In-band-ringing).The Streamer does not support in-band ringing, and will not receive dedicated ringing tunes from mobile phones. The Streamer ringing tune is always played by the hearing instruments and is fi xed. NOTE, if the mobile phone is confi gured to stream keyboard beeps over the Bluetooth connection, the mobile phone will, when operated, interrupt any ongoing audio streaming and will force the hearing instruments to switch program.
46 47Mobile phone TipIt is strongly recommended to disable the key-press beeps, lock/un-lock beeps etc. on your mobile phone. This will prevent unintended program shifts in your hearing instruments when operating the mobile phone while con nected by Bluetooth to the Streamer.7.
