Your Campus S must be recharged after approx. 12 hours of operation.

GA 29919 Campus GB
New batteries take approx. 12 hours to charge. Charging for longer than this will not damage the battery.
!
We recommend that you remove the battery compartment cover from the Campus S if you will not be using the unit for several weeks. This prevents the battery from fully discharging.
If necessary, the battery can be removed from the Campus S and a replacement battery fitted. The removed battery can then be recharged using a multi-cell charger available from Phonak. Please see page 15 for further information.

Operating range
!
Your Campus S uses the microphone cable as an antenna. Therefore, always ensure that the cable is unwound while you are using the Campus S.
Used with Phonak FM receivers, your Campus S should operate over a range up to
40 meters (120 feet) depending on the surroundings. High-power electrical or electronic equipment and metallic objects can reduce the operating range.
17
Setting of the FM receiver
Wearers of Phonak hearing instruments can read about the recommended setting of the radio receivers in the respective hearing instruments User Guides. The receiver description below is a general description and for the benefit of people who use other brands of hearing aid.
Prinicipal benefits of the MLxS
• Default frequency
The MLxS receiver has a programmed default frequency. It is set automatically when the FM receiver is switched on. Your Phonak Service Center can change the default frequency.
18
GA 29919 Campus GB
• Frequency synchronization
The Campus S can remotely re-tune your FM receiver to an alternative frequency
(see page 8). This provides a quick and simple way to change the frequency, for example when there are nearby FM users on the same channel, or to avoid interference from a mobile phone antenna.
• Standby mode
This is an energy-saving feature: when the transmitter is switched off, the receivers automatically enter standby mode 30–40 seconds later. Virtually no power is consumed in this mode. The receivers detect when the transmitter is switched on again, and automatically resume normal operation.
19
MLxS switch positions
For Phonak hearing instruments, please refer to the hearing instrument User Guide for the correct MLxS switch position.
For all other hearing aids, the correct switch position depends on the Hearing
Instrument type.
Please ask your hearingcare professional which switch position should be used.

Important notes
• Do not use more than one transmitter on the same channel simultaneously.
• Use only Phonak accessories.
• Do not use the Campus S in locations where it is forbidden to use electronic devices, for example, in airplanes.
• Note that it is possible for speech or sound that is transmitted through FM to be picked up and heard via other devices.
• Before using the system in another country, contact your hearingcare professional to make sure your channel is permitted in that country.
• Your Campus S should be serviced only by a Phonak authorized service agent.
