FAQ
How do I perform a system check?
Some manufactures offer monitoring headphones, which
can be connected to the processors. The headphones
usually allow listening to the processor microphones and
FM signal in parallel.
Phonak offers a headset checker which has a euro plug.
Here you can plug in all universal FM receivers or another
receiver over the dedicated adaptor.
The universal FM receivers can also be plugged into an
audioshoe connected to a hearing instrument. Make sure
there is a battery inside the hearing instrument and that
the hearing instrument is in the FM program.
You can check the MyLink+/ MyLink using headphones
connected to the headphone output or via a hearing
instrument which is in T-coil mode.
MicroLink CI S can be tested by plugging it into a desktop
speaker using the blue, blue-red, black or white cable.
See the picture at the top of this page. Make sure there is
a good battery inside the MicroLink CI S.
I performed the listening test but am still not able
to hear the FM signal. What should I do?
Make sure all equipment has a battery and that
batteries are not exhausted.
When using MLxi, it may be possible that the push button
is enabled. If so, to activate the MLxi, you must press
the push button for two seconds.
Make sure transmitter and receiver are on the same
channel. Synchronize the receiver if required.
What do I do if there is static or a poor operating
range?
Make sure the external antenna is attached to SmartLink+
or the microphone cable of inspiro is un-wrapped to
have a operating range of about 50 feet (15 meters).
Try another FM channel. Change the FM channel on the
transmitter. After changing the channel, you need to
synchronize the receiver to the new channel. If required,
test all available channels of the transmitter for an
interference free channel.
In some rare cases, the strong magnetic field of the
CI coil may interfere with the radio frequency used for
the FM transmission. If changing the channel does not
help to eliminate the static, you may consider a body
worn solution with MicroLink CI S or the MyLink+/MyLink.
The FM level is too soft or too loud
Check if the MLxi has been programmed for the specific
speech processor. If not, program the MLxi as explained
in the section “programming a receiver with FM
SuccessWare”. When you are using MicroMLxS, check
if the switch is on the recommended position.
As a second step check the mixing ratio of the speech
processor.
As a third step, you can adjust the internal gain of the
receiver which can be done by the programming software
FM SuccessWare.
There is a tone every time I switch MLxi On.
This is a normal tone generated by MLxi at every startup. This
tone can be deactivated when you program the MLxi for the
specific processor as described in the section “programming
MLxi/MicroMLxS”.
When Monitoring a receiver, I get “replace audio boot”.
What shall I do?
This only happens when the MLxi has not been programmed
for the specific processor. Then, the feature AutoConnect
is enabled and due to the broader range of input impedance
of CI processors, the MLxi may detect an impedance which
is out of its range. If this message is displayed after Monitoring
it can be ignored. If you want to avoid this message,
please program the MLxi for the specific processor by FM
SuccessWare.
Can I monitor a MicroMLxS, MicroLink Freedom or MyLink?
No. they are Classic FM receivers and do not feature
Monitoring.
What can I do in the case of static when using MyLink+
or MyLink?
The transmission from MyLink+/MyLink to the speech processor
is based on magnetic fields. Any electrical appliance can
generate magnetic fields which are picked up by the T-coil of
the hearing instrument. To eliminate such interferences the
client should avoid these sources of interference or consider an
FM receiver that is directly connected to the speech processor.
