Pairing Process
For TruLink Remote to interact with your hearing instrument(s), you must first pair the Remote with each hearing instrument. You only need to pair TruLink Remote with a hearing instrument one time, as they should automatically recognize each other when both are powered on and they are within wireless operating range.
You can pair TruLink Remote with a monaural hearing instrument, or binaural hearing instruments. For a binaural set, both hearing instruments must be successfully paired during the same pairing cycle. Trying to pair just one binaural hearing instrument with the TruLink
Remote will result in failure. To cancel pairing mode on TruLink Remote, simply move the lower switch from Unlock (left) to Lock (right) position.
To quickly start using TruLink Remote:
1. Insert battery and close door on hearing instrument(s), and place within 12 inches of TruLink
Remote
2. Move lower switch from Lock
(right) to Unlock (left) position
4
3. Press and hold the HOME button for 5 seconds
4. After 5 seconds, both LEDs start rapidly blinking
5. For Binaural Hearing Instruments,
• If the left LED becomes solid blue for
2+ seconds and right LED becomes solid red for 2+ seconds, then the binaural pairing was successful.
Otherwise, repeat steps 3 – 5.
For a Left Monaural Hearing Instrument,
• If the left LED becomes solid blue for
2 seconds, then the monaural pairing was successful. Otherwise, repeat steps 3 – 5.
For a Right Monaural Hearing Instrument,
• If the right LED becomes solid red for
2 seconds, then the monaural pairing was successful. Otherwise, repeat steps 3 – 5.
6. To verify your setup, pressing the Volume
Up or Volume Down button should cause a hearing instrument volume adjustment.

Left Both Right
Ear Selection Switch
The Ear Selection Switch controls whether adjustments are made to a single hearing instrument or both hearing instruments.
Binaural Hearing Instruments:
To adjust both hearing instruments at the same time, the
Ear Selection Switch should be positioned in the center. To adjust a single hearing instrument, place the Ear Selection Switch to the Left or
Right position indicating the hearing instrument to be changed.
Monaural Hearing Instrument:
The Ear
Selection Switch position does not apply.
LED
The blue LED blinks when a command is sent to the left hearing instrument. Similarly, the red
LED blinks for the right hearing instrument.

TruLink Remote is classified as a Type B applied part under the IEC 60601-1 medical instrument standard.
TruLink Remote is designed to comply with the most stringent Standards of International Electromagnetic
Compatibility. However, it is still possible that you may experience interference caused by power line disturbances, airport metal detectors, electromagnetic fields from other medical devices, radio signals and electrostatic discharges.
TruLink Remote is designed to be cleaned with a damp cloth moistened with soapy water.
If you use other medical devices or wear implantable medical devices such as defibrillators or pacemakers and are concerned that your TruLink Remote might cause interference with your medical device, please contact your physician or the manufacturer of your medical device for information about the risk of disturbance. TruLink Remote should not be used during an MRI procedure.
Use on Aircrafts
TruLink Remote should not be used on aircrafts unless specifically permitted by the flight personnel.
International Use
TruLink Remote is approved to operate at radio frequencies that are specific to your country or region and might not be approved for use outside your country or region.
