If you
use
other
medical devices
or
wear implantable medical devices such
a
s
defibrillators
or
pacemakers
and
are concerned
that your Mini
R
e
m
o
t
e
Mic 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.
The
Mini
R
e
m
o
t
e
Mic
should
not be
used
during an
MRI procedure
or in a hyperbaric
chamber.
The Mini
Remote
Mic
is
not
formally certified
to
operate
in explosive
atmospheres such as may
be found in coal
mines
or
certain chemical
factories.
Although the Mini
Remote
Mic is not
formally
certified
(IP rated)
for protection against
dust or
water ingress,
per
IEC 60529,
it
has
been tested to the
IP
5X
level. This
means
that the Mini
Remote
Mic is protected from dust.
The
battery in
your
Mini
Remote
Mic is not
replaceable.
Do not attempt to replace
the battery.
The
Mini
Remote
Mic
does
not
contain any user-serviceable parts.
Do not
open or modify it.
Do not
connect
the Mini
Remote
Mic to
any devices
not
described
in this
manual.
The
expected service
life of the Mini
Remote
Mic is 3 years.
Use on Aircrafts
The
Mini
Remote
Mic
should
not be
used
on
aircrafts unless specifically
permitted by
the flight personnel.
Wireless Technical
Description
Starkey Hearing Technologies
Mini
Remote Microphone operates
in the 2.4- 2.4835
GHz
band with a
maximum effective radiated
power of
8 dBm
with transmission
modulation
type of
GFSK
with 2
MHz bandwidth. The receiver section
of the radio
has
a bandwidth of 2 MHz.
The
Mini
Remote
Mic
has
been tested to, and
has passed,
the following emissions
and
immunity
tests:
International Use
The
Mini
Remote
Mic 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.
Be
aware
that
operation
during
international travel may cause interference
with other
electronic devices,
or other
electronic devices may cause interference
with
your
Mini
Remote
Mic.
Your
Mini
Remote
Mic is
designed
to
operate
and be
stored
within the temperature
range
of
-10˚C (14˚F)
to
45˚C (113˚F)
and
relative humidity range
of 10%-95%.
We
are required
by
regulations
to provide the following warnings:
WARNING:
Use
of the Mini
Remote
Mic directly next to other electronic
equipment
should
be
avoided because
it could
result
in improper
performance.
If
such
use
is
necessary,
note
as
to
whether your hearing aids
and the other equipment
are
operating normally.
WARNING:
Use
of
accessories, components
or
replacement parts
other
than those
provided by the
manufacturer
of the Mini
Remote
Mic could
result
in increased
electromagnetic emissions
and
decreased electromagnetic immunity
and could result
in
degradation
of performance.
WARNING:
If
Portable Radio Frequency communications
equipment is used
closer than
30 cm
(12 inches)
from
your
Mini
Remote
Mic,
degradation
of the
performance
of
your hearing
aid could
result.
If this
occurs, move away
from the
communications
equipment.
