Ranger transmitter
When listening in noisy environments, have the speaker wear the transmitter
with the plug-in microphone within 25cm of their mouth. For even better
performance in noise, use an optional boom (headset) microphone with the
transmitter. This will capture the speaker’s voice at just a few centimeters
from the mouth.
External audio devices such as computers and phones can be connected directly
to the microphone input port with a cable. Your Ranger transmitter will detect
this audio signal
and automatically adjust the signal level.
You can make fine volume adjustments with the transmitter using the -/+ keys.
The full range of volume adjustments is made on the receiver.
Ranger receiver
You can listen to your Ranger receiver with stereo headphones, earbuds, and a
range of specialized listening accessories.
Caution – avoid excessive volume levels. Listeners with normal hearing
sensitivity should use low-output (attenuated) earphones for prolonged use of
Ranger. The receiver volume control can be locked with the keypad to prevent
unintended volume changes.
If you have telecoil-equipped hearing aids or cochlear implants, use the
neckloop or other optional Ranger coupling accessories to connect to your
device wirelessly. You may have to select a ‘T’ or ‘MT’ setting on our
personal equipment. Consult with your hearing professional to select the best
listening accessory for your personal equipment.
Note that when no transmission is detected for 20 minutes, the receiver
will turn off automatically to conserve the battery power.
