See the appropriate user guide for details.
Getting started Charging the uMic The system consists of three main elements: • uMic • Unitron hearing aids • A streamer The uMic is compatible with three streaming devices, uDirect 2, uDirect 3 and uStream. The uMic transmits the speaker’s voice wirelessly to your hearing aids via the streamer. The hearing aid microphone level will automatically be adjusted while the uMic signal is received. The level of adjustment is set by your hearing healthcare professional.
Using one power supply for two devices: Turning the uMic on and off Insert the dual mini-USB splitter between the power supply and the devices as shown below. Slide the power switch ( ) as shown to turn the uMic on or off. With uDirect 2, uDirect 3 or uStream: Both devices can be charged at the same time. With uTV 3: The uMic can be charged while uTV 3 is being used.
Bluetooth pairing with the uMic Put uMic into pairing mode: If the uMic has never been paired before, pairing mode will be automatically activated after turning it on. To manually start pairing mode: 1. Switch the uMic off. 2. Press and hold the volume up button ( ). 3. Turn the uMic on while still pushing the ( ) button. 4. Release the ( ) button after two seconds when the indicator light rapidly blinks blue. 5. Make sure the streamer and uMic are within 1 m (3 ft) range of each other.
Understanding the status light Information during operation: Switching on Green 2 seconds Streaming Solid blue Streaming paused Short blue blink Pairing mode Rapid blue blink Switch the uMic off and on again to turn the device on from sleep mode. If the red “low battery” blinks: • Battery level is <20% • Less than 1.5 hours are left for streaming • Consider charging the uMic The uMic can also be charged during operation.
Functional test of uMic Wearing the uMic correctly After pairing to your streamer, perform a quick functional test by gently tapping on the microphone opening. You should clearly hear the tapping noise in your hearing aids. 1. Gently press to open the clip. 2. Ensure the uMic is clipped securely to clothing as shown in the picture. 3. To prevent scratching sounds, do not cover the uMic with clothing during use.
Setting the uMic volume Switching the uMic off To change the uMic volume: To end the uMic transmission completely, switch off the uMic by sliding the power switch to the off position. 1. Speak into the uMic from a 20 cm (8”) distance. 2. Use the volume ( ) buttons to set the uMic volume to adjust the sensitivity and strength of the microphones. If your hearing aids pick up too much ambient noise, reduce the volume on your hearing aids and increase the volume on your uMic.
uMic and phone calls uMic and watching TV Phone calls via Bluetooth will always take priority over the uMic streaming. If uDirect 2, uDirect 3 or uStream streamer is paired with your mobile phone, you can still receive phone calls, even when using uMic. In case of an incoming call, the streamer automatically stops transmitting the audio signal from your uMic and and sends the signal from your mobile phone to your hearing aids instead.
uMic streaming distance Deleting all Bluetooth pairings The uMic transmitter supports operation up to a range of 20 m (65 ft). Line-of-sight between your streamer and the uMic is not required. Interference in the environment by objects in the line-of-sight may reduce the operating range. If the uMic is moved out of range of the streamer, the wireless audio transmission will be interrupted or even terminated.
Use of the lanyard For transportation, you may use the detachable lanyard as illustrated.
Most probable cause Remedy I hear intermittency during audio transmission The uMic is too far away from the streamer or shielded by an obstacle Do not exceed the maximum distance and relocate device The streamer searches for other paired devices for two minutes after turning on.
Most probable cause Remedy uMic is no longer recognized by the streamer with which it was previously paired Two minutes after no device was found, the streamer stops seeking devices to save power Switch the streamer off. Wait until the red power indicator turns off, then turn device on again The devices are too far away from each other Bring devices within 1 meter range and try again uMic can be paired to a maximum of four different Bluetooth devices.
