Intended Use
This product is equipped with a built-in activated T-Coil coupler, designed to
receive signals transmitted by hearing loop systems.
The sound signal received by the device can be heard via a head- set or
earphones connected to its sound output. The sound volume level can be
adjusted to your preferred level. The sound quality you will experience will
greatly depend on the performance of the hearing loop system you will be
listening to, and the headset/earphones quality.
It is recommended to use the manufacturer’s compatible headset or earphones.
These may be included with the device.
Using the RX30 Hearing Loop Listener
Place the headset over both ears and adjust the side arms until you have a
comfortable fit. Ensure the headset is plugged into the RX30 Hearing Loop
Listener via the 3.5mm audio jack.
The control wheel can be used to switch the device on and also to control the
volume. The red LED will light up when the device is switched on.
Hold the RX30 in a vertical position, adjust holding height to find the
optimum sound level and quality (this can vary depending on the installed
hearing loop location), this can be achieved using either the lanyard or belt
clip provided with this kit.
Changing the angle of the device could reduce the sound level and its quality.
Make sure that the hearing loop system and the sound source connected to it
are switched on.
Adjust the volume of the RX30 Hearing Loop Listener to a comfortable level.
The bass cut switch can be used to optimise sound.
