General notes on safetyWARNINGRisk in explosive environments, e.g. mining areas!Don't use the wireless programming system in areas Xwhere there is a danger of explosions.WARNINGRisk of interference with cardiac pacemakers.Do not use the wireless programming system if the pa- Xtient is fitted with a cardiac pacemaker.5The function of the wireless link might be affected by a nearby electro-magnetic noise source, such as com-puter monitors. Please keep an appropriate distance from these Xsources.WARNINGStrangulation hazard when lanyard gets entangled in e.g. moving mechanical parts of machines.Use only the delivered breakaway lanyard. It will Xautomatically snap when it gets entangled.7
Do not throw old rechargeable batteries into house- Xhold trash.Dispose of them according to national regulations. XTo avoid short circuits cover the contacts of the re- Xchargeable Li-ion batteries with tape.WARNINGChoking hazard posed by small parts.Keep batteries, small parts and the wireless program- Xming system out of children‘s reach.If swallowed consult a physician or hospital immedi- Xately.Safety notes for batteries6WARNINGRisk of explosion when the rechargeable battery is handled incorrectly.Do not short circuit, pierce, crush or disassemble the Xrechargeable battery.Do not place in oven or fire. XDo not immerse in water. XCharge the rechargeable battery between 0ºC and 45ºC XRemove the rechargeable battery when the instru- Xment is not in use for a prolonged period of time.8
Before first useInsert the rechargeable battery into the wireless pro- Xgramming system.Charge the rechargeable battery before first use. XCharging the wireless programming systemConnect the wireless programming system Xwith the power plug to a power supply.The charging process starts. Charging time is about 5 hours depending on the status of the rechargeable battery.Charging is complete when the battery sym-bol shows a full battery.7Handling the rechargeable batteryRunning time of the rechargable batteryThe running time of the rechargable battery is about 6 to 7 hours.Use the wireless programming system during the day Xand charge it over night.Keep an eye on the battery status when using the Xwireless programming system.Charge the wireless programming system when the Xbattery is turning low.9
Before first useMake sure to have Connexx 6.0 or a higher version in- Xstalled.Plug the Bluetooth dongle into a USB slot of your com- Xputer.Bluetooth dongleBluetooth dongle and wireless programming  system need to be within a range of 10 m (32 ft).The green LED of the Bluetooth dongle blinks when the Bluetooth dongle is searching for a connection to the wireless programming system.The green LED of the Bluetooth dongle is constantly lit when a connection to the wireless programming system is established.Wearing the wireless programming systemThe patient wears the hearing instruments while the hearing instruments are programmed.Use the lanyard to put the wireless program- X ming system around the patients neck. This way the wireless programming system has a distance up to 25 cm (10 in) to the hea- ring instruments.The patient should maintain a forward facing X head position, same direction as the wireless programming system. Turning the head can lead to a disconnection during the program- ming process.8Working with the wireless programming system10
