Installation Instructions
The PA AU5 MBTE M R radio model (PA_AU5_MBTE_M_R) contains two radio
transceivers running at 3.84 MHz and 2.4 GHz and both implemented on a single
hardware platform.
Additionally, a full featured RFID tag (IC2) capable of receiving signals at
865 MHz – 928 MHz. The RFID tag has no electrical/galvanic connections related
to the rest of the PCB in PA AU5 MBTE M R and are passive.
The radio model is implemented in an engine module mounted on the main PCB with connection to the antennas, telecoil, the microphones, the internal speaker and the battery terminals. The radio model can be seen in 3D overview to the left.
The 3.84 MHz radio is a low power, short range inductive radio transceiver ( N
F M I – Near Field magnetic Induction) working at a single channel at 3.84 MHz
using MSK modulation with 320 kbit/s
data rate and connected to a small coil antenna.
The 2.4 GHz radio is a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE core 5.0) transceiver using GFSK/2FSK modulation with 1 Mbit/s, 2 Mbit/s data rate also capable of proprietary reception modes (xBLE) with higher data rates (2 Mbit/s, 4 Mbit/s) using 2FSK/4FSK modulation. The 2.4 GHz radio is connected to a short wire antenna with a proprietary antenna connector.

Below the main flex PCB of the PA AU5 MBTE M R radio model with the most important electrical and electro-mechanical components can be seen:
See previous page PCB radio module drawing for placement of the antenna and IC’s relevant for radio:
- Bottom side: IC1 – Aurora chipset (DSP)
- Bottom side: IC2 – Passive RFID
- Top side: IC3 – Flash memory
- Bottom side: L2 – nEarlink coil antenna
- Bottom side L1 – Telecoil “coil antenna”
- Top side SP4,5 – Battery terminals
- Top/bottom side PCB antenna 1 – BLE antenna
The PA AU5 MBTE M R radio model requires only a single cell Zn- ir battery (also incl. the wire antenna for the Bluetooth radio part) to be attached and plastic shells, defining the industrial design of a hearing aid end-product and holding everything together, in order to be operational.
The most important parts inside the Engine module are a Digital-Signal- Processor (DSP), a radio Front-End (FE) chip for the 3.84 MHz radio part and an RF chip for the Bluetooth radio part – all mounted on a small rigid PCB again mounted on the main flex PCB. The PA AU5 MBTE M R radio model also includes all voltage regulators and buffered data programming inputs on board. The DSP is the main processor controlling the functionality of both radios in the Aurora5 MBTE M R radio model.
The PA AU5 MBTE M R radio model is intended to be installed in Oticon, Bernafon, Sonic, Philips and affiliated private labels wireless hearing aid devices of the.

Description
Radio module with 2.4 GHz low power transceiver to be integrated into various hearing instruments and associated devices
Regulatory label
This device is granted pursuant to the Japanese Radio Law and the Japanese Telecommunications Business Law under the grant ID n° : 202-LJS083
This device should not be modified (otherwise the granted designation number will become invalid)
NB: The regulatory label is not shown on the radio module itself or any end products with it, since they are too small for the label to be readable without any optical aids or magnification. Below the radio module is shown, indicating a size of about 6.5x11x28 mm.
