be used & TURN ON.

lavalier aerial
2 Check that the EasyLink unit on charge has a flashing battery icon.
If the battery icon is not flashing then the unit is not charging – check
the connections.
2 INVESTIGATE any reported operating
problems from yesterday.
Intermittent sound problems
can be difficult to trace, ask
the user to explain what
happened when.
3 Do not waste time

3 TEST the overall system.
Give the transmitter to a friend or place it somewhere a few
metres away where it will pick up some identifiable sound
and listen to the output of the hearing aid.
If you are the hearing aid user, make sure that you can hear a
clear sound from the transmitter. If you are a hearing helper,
use a stetoclip and attenuator to listen to the hearing aid.

You will only have to put
them all back together in
the morning and it saves
general wear and tear.
4 As the MLxS receiver
4 RECEIVER Gently check the connections between the MLxS
receiver, the shoe and hearing aid to check that the sound
does not break up or crackle.
Worn hearing aid contacts are a common source of problems,
if necessary return the hearing aid to the clinic for re-casing.

condition.
A low hearing aid battery
will result in increased hiss and reduced range – the normal
life of a hearing aid battery will be more than halved when
used with an MLxS.
If in doubt, fit a new battery in the hearing aid.

5 TRANSMITTER While still listening to the hearing aid,
ask your helper to gently wiggle the lavalier neck strap on the
EasyLink transmitter make sure that the sound does not
break up or crackle. If necessary return for repair.
6 BATTERY STATUS Use a battery tester to check
the condition of the hearing aid battery. Look at the
EasyLink display to see that there is enough power for
the time that the system will be used – but of course,
you did check & recharge last night!
