Troubleshooting the FM system
1. Check the function of the FM system in isolation:
You can use the accessories tester from Connevans (part
number FMG750) to check the microphone with its lead.
Gently wiggle or bend the leads. Intermittent connections will
cause bad crackling and or interruption of sound.
To check the FM system you could use the Headset
Checker (Phonak part number 052-3126). Remove the
receiver from the processor and plug into the
headphones. Switch on the receiver and the
transmitter. Listen for a clear signal.
Or check the FM using a working hearing aid and audio shoe.
Plug the receiver into the audio shoe, switch on the hearing aid
and then the transmitter and listen to the signal through a
stetoclip.
2. Check the function of the processor in isolation:
Check the batteries and power of the processor
3. Check the function of the processor using the Sound Processor
Test Device. The LED light on the SPTD should flicker with
voice pattern.
4. Replace the standard battery sleeve with the FM one and check
the function of the FM battery sleeve.
Use an additional direct input device such as an iPod to verify
that the battery sleeve is working / that the child reports
hearing the output from the iPod.
5. Assess the function of the FM system and processor working
together using the Sound Processor Test Device.
a. Assess the function of the processor with the FM sleeve
on (The LED light flickers to voice.
b. Connect the FM system. Move far enough away so that
sound from your voice no longer activates the SPTD.
c. Switch on FM and speak into the FM microphone (LED
should flicker to voice coming in via the FM). Brightness
and fluctuation should be similar to how it was in (a)
above.
If there is no flicker, consider an FM fault, not
i)
transmission.
ii)
If there is a constant light then the FM gain
may be too high and there is too much noise
iii)
If the light is very bright, the gain may be too
high.
Things to check:
• Are the FM transmitter and receiver on the same channel?
• Are the cables on the FM transmitter or receiver frayed or
kinked?
• Has the transmitting distance been exceeded?
• Do the batteries for the FM transmitter and or the receiver
need replacing?
• Is the microphone on the transmitter working?
• Are the FM settings set appropriately?
• Has the processor program been audio mixing enabled?
• Have you observed areas in the classroom that can cause dead
spots in the transmission by checking with the FM system
yourself?
• Have you tried reducing the volume or gain on the FM receiver?
• Have you tried a different FM channel?
• Have you replaced the FM adaptor cable to check if it is
working?
• Have you replaced the direct connect cable?
• Have you definitely turned on the microphone? Particular care
is needed with the Campus transmitter where there is a switch
on the microphone itself.
