Basic Use

Pairing Process
For the Miracle-EarLINK™ Remote AV to interact with your hearing aid(s), you must first pair the Miracle-EarLINK™ Remote AV with each hearing aid. You only need to pair one time, as they should automatically recognize each other when both are powered on and within wireless operating range.
You can pair the Miracle-EarLINK™ Remote AV with a single hearing aid or a set of hearing aids.
To start using the Miracle-EarLINK™ Remote AV:

Move lower switch from Lock (right) to Unlock (left) position.
Power off, then power on your hearing aid(s), and place within 12 inches of the Miracle-EarLINK™ Remote AV.
Note: For a CROS hearing aid system, power off both your hearing aid and CROS transmitter. Power on only your hearing aid, ensuring the CROS transmitter remains powered off.
Press and hold the HOME button for 5 seconds.
After 5 seconds, both LEDs start rapidly blinking.
For a set of hearing aids:
• If the left LED becomes solid blue for 2+ seconds and the right LED becomes solid red for 2+ seconds, then the pairing was successful. Otherwise, repeat steps 2 – 5. For a single left hearing aid:
• If the left LED becomes solid blue for 2 seconds, then the pairing was successful. Otherwise, repeat steps 2 – 5. For a single right hearing aid:
• If the right LED becomes solid red for 2 seconds, then the pairing was successful. Otherwise, repeat steps 2 – 5.
To verify your setup, pressing the Volume Up or Volume Down button should cause a hearing aid volume adjustment.
