device is used.
Your Phone Clip battery can be recharged hundreds of times. If the operating time becomes
noticeably shorter, please contact your hearing care professional.
Wearing your Phone Clip
Clip your Phone Clip on your clothing so that the microphone faces upwards. This ensures that
the microphones in the Phone Clip are placed optimally to pick up your voice during phone
calls.
The Phone Clip has a swivel clip to ensure that you can always place it so that the microphone
faces upwards towards your mouth.
For optimal voice pickup, keep the device within a range of 10- 30 cm from your mouth.
Light indicators (LED)
The LED at the top of your Phone Clip serves as a multipurpose user interface, providing
information on the status of your device.

Bluetooth Operating Range
Your phone clip supports Bluetooth
operation up to a range of approximately 10 metres.
®
Line-of-sight between the devices is not required. However, the following factors may affect
the maximum range:
•
Ambient interference
•
The mobile phone's range may be less than the 10 metres supported by the Phone Clip
If your mobile phone moves out of range, the connection will be broken. If the device is moved
within range again, the Phone clip will attempt to re-establish the connection. Whether this
is successful will depend on the length of time since the link was broken and on the mobile
phone's properties.
