4 5Congratulations on choosing the TV Connector.  The TV Connector allows you to connect your hearing aids to your TV or other entertainment/communication devices.Please read this user guide carefully to discover how to benefit from the features of your TV Connector. If you have any questions, please consult your hearingcare professional or go to www.phonak.com/tvconnectorPhonak – life is on    www.phonak.com1. WelcomeCE mark applied: 20182. Getting to know your      TV Connector The intended use of the TV Connector is to establish  a wireless connection between your hearing aids  and a TV (or any other audio source). It sends audio  signals within a 15 meter (50 ft) radius wirelessly to  the hearing aids. TV Connector is compatible with Audéo B-Direct and Audéo M wireless hearing aids.Toslink or Audio cableUSB cable

However, environmental interference like walls or furniture may reduce the operating range.
8 92. Insert the smaller end of the USB cable into the free socket of the TV Connector.3.1 Setting up the power supply 1. Plug the power supply unit into the socket outlet of the mains power. 3. Getting started Upon the very rst time powering the device,  the connection to the hearing aids will be initiated automatically and the hearing aids will play a conrmation tone. The TV Connector will turn ON the rst time it is connected to a power source. If the TV Connector does not turn ON automatically when the power supply is connected, press and hold the power button for longer than 2 seconds to turn ON the device.Alternatively the TV Connector can be powered via USB cable on the TV. Insert the larger end of the USB cable into the USB socket of the TV.
10 113.2 Supported audio connectionsThe TV Connector can be connected to any audio source such as a TV, PC or HiFi system. It supports two different audio cable inputs: Optical (Toslink) or Analog. Both of the audio cables can be plugged into the dedicated  audio socket on the TV Connector. Always connect the chosen audio cable of the TV Connector to the audio OUTPUT of your TV or alternative audio device!Optical (Toslink)Digital signalFiber optic cable  (preinstalled in the TV Connector)Analog3.5 mm jack  (optional)3.3 Connecting to an audio device Connect the free end of the optical (TOSLINK) cable into the optical digital audio output of your TV (or audio source).
12 133.5 Connecting the TV Connector to the hearing aids  When the TV Connector is plugged into a power source the very rst time upon installation, the connection to the hearing aids will be initiated automatically and the hearing aids will play a conrmation tone.To connect new hearing aids to the TV Connector follow the steps:J Press the Connect   button  on the back, and the indicator  light will start blinking blue. J Make sure the hearing aids are  switched on and within  1 meter (3 ft) of the  TV Connector.   3.4 Optional: Connecting to an audio device using the      audio socketReplace the supplied optical (Toslink) cable on the TV Connector with the analog 3.5 mm cable. Insert one end of the analog cable into the TV Connector and connect the other end of the analog 3.5 mm audio cable into the audio out port of your TV (or audio source). Some TVs will switch o their loudspeakers when using the headset socket – the TV will not be  audible for other people. See chapter 3.4.
14 15  The TV Connector will connect to any compatible hearing aid, which is within the range during the connection process. They will be automatically connected again after the initial connection  process. 4. Daily use of the TV Connector  The TV Connector can receive and transmit Dolby Audio™, stereo or mono audio signals. Please make  sure that no DTS audio setting is not used by the TV (or audio source).  If present, this audio signal will be indicated by a  blinking red LED indicator light on the TV Connector.  Please change the audio signal to this (PCM) in  the audio settings menu of the TV. Alternatively, switch to the analog 3.5 mm audio cable.Switch ON your TV (or alternative audio device). If the  TV Connector is powered on, it will automatically transmit the audio signal to the connected hearing aids.J You will hear a confirmation  beep in your hearing aids when  the connection was successful.  This may take up to 10 seconds  J If no audio is present during the connect process, beeps will be  played left/right during 5 seconds after the confirmation beep of the hearing aids
16 17You will hear the sound of the TV/audio device directly in your hearing aids. Make sure the TV/audio device is switched on. If no audio input is available, the TV Connector automatically stops the audio transmission to the hearing aids. The indicator light will be solid white (standby mode).If the hearing aids are out of range of the TV Connector  the audio transmission will be terminated. Once the hearing aids are back into the range of TV Connector, the audio signal will automatically resume streaming.    You might need to accept the incoming audio signal on the hearing aid by pressing the hearing aid button. 4.1 Adjusting the volume of the audio from    transmitting from TV ConnectorTo adjust the volume of the audio from the TV Connector:•  Push the volume increase button (+) on top of the  TV Connector. •  Push the volume decrease button (-) on top of the  TV Connector. A tune will be played in any connected hearing aid to  indicate that the volume has changed.   The volume can be adjusted independently of the    audio source (Toslink or analog). The individual    settings remain stored even after powering OFF the    TV Connector.
18 194.2 TV Connector and phone callsIf the hearing aids are connected to your cell phone,  you can still receive phone calls, even when using the  TV Connector. In case of an incoming call, the hearing aids automatically stop the audio signal from the TV Connector and alerts will be played signalizing the incoming call. After the call the hearing aids automatically switch back to the TV Connector audio signal.4.3 Switching o audio transmission To end the transmission of the audio signal, simplyswitch o the TV or other connected audio sources.The TV Connector will go into the standby modeautomatically. Alternatively, turn OFF the TV Connectorusing the power button on the top of the device. In this case turn ON the TV Connector using the power button when using the TV Connector next time. 4.4 Understanding the indicator light (LED) Solid green     Switched on and         transmitting audioSolid white     Switched on but no audio            transmission (standby mode)                Blinking blue     Connecting mode      Blinking red     Wrong audio input  format      (DTS)No light      Switched off
20 215. Troubleshooting5.1 Testing the audio transmissionIf you cannot hear the sound from the audio source (e.g. TV), check the following options: J Test the connection of the TV Connector to the  hearing aidsJ Go through the steps described in chapter 3.5J Test the connection of TV Connector to the audio  device (e.g. TV)J Switch on the audio device and the ConnectorJ Make sure all cables are inserted properly into the TV Connector and the audio device (e.g. TV)J Make sure the audio cable is plugged into the audio OUT plug of the audio source (e.g. TV)J Check if the indicator light is solid green5.2 Questions and answersA summary of frequently asked questions and answers:Causes What to doI don‘t hear any sound although the TV is switched on and connected to the TV ConnectorNo audio input available at the TV Connector (indicator light is solid white or blinking red).Check if the optical cable(Toslink) or 3.5mm(analog) is inserted intothe TV Connector and theaudio source properly.Check that the audio cable isinserted at the audio outputof the audio source (e.g. TV).Blinking red, wrong audio input format (DTS) from the audio source (e.g. TV).
