MaxIT Wireless Inductive Loopset features 1
1) Introduction Your MaxIT® Wireless Inductive Loopset is a lightweight device utilising Bluetooth® wireless technology. It provides hands-free communication for the hearing aid wearer via the hearing aid’s telecoil switch (‘T switch’). The power is provided by an AAA battery (re-chargeable as supplied or alkaline). Any mobile cell phone that you want to use with your MaxIT Inductive Loopset must be Bluetooth enabled and compatible with Bluetooth technology version 1.2/2.0.
3) System Requirements In order for your Loopset to function correctly, you must have a Bluetooth enabled mobile telephone and your hearing aid must be equipped with a Telecoil switch (‘T switch’). 4) Charging the re-chargeable AAA battery a) Place the battery in the charger ensuring that the polarity is correct in accordance with the markings. b) Slot the charger into an empty USB port on your computer and ensure that the computer is turned on. Whilst the battery is charging the light will glow RED.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that a new battery is fully charged prior to initial use otherwise the battery life may be reduced. 6) Initial pairing and connection procedure a) Activate the Bluetooth function on your mobile phone. b) On the phone’s Bluetooth menu, select your phone’s visibility as ‘SHOWN TO ALL’. c) Press and hold the TALK button on the Loopset for approximately 7 seconds until the LED flashes alternately between YELLOW and RED indicating that the Loopset is in pairing mode.
g) The phone will confirm that ‘MA007’ is now recognised and the option to ‘CONNECT’ appears. Select ‘CONNECT’. The Loopset will emit one short “beep” to indicate a successful connection. h) Once the phone indicates that pairing & connection has been successful, exit its Bluetooth menu and return to the home screen. A headphone icon (Ω) will appear. i) If pairing does not occur as expected, turn off both the phone and the Loopset, wait for 10 seconds and then repeat steps a to h above.
8) Switching OFF the Loopset To switch OFF your Loopset, press and hold the TALK button until the LED flashes RED and then extinguishes. Release the button and your Loopset will then switch off.
