This booklet guides you on how to use and maintain your new wrist recceiver. Ensure you read this booklet carefully, including the Warnings section. This will help you get the most out of your product. If you have additional questions, contact your hearing care professional.

Intended purpose
The intended purpose of the Visit system is to alert deaf and hard of hearing people of important signals in their home.

Intended user
A person with mild to severe hearing loss or deafness.

Intended user group
The intended user group consists of people of all ages with mild to severe hearing loss or deafness that need audio, visual or sensory amplification.

Principle of operation
The Visit system consists of a set of wirelessly connected transmitters and receivers that are located across the home. When a transmitter detects an activity, it signals the Visit receiver that alerts the user with sound, flashes or vibrations. In order to use the system, you need at least one transmitter and one receiver.

Getting started

1. Pull the battery tab on the charger and connect the power supply to the mains outlet.
   The mains LED (8) lights up in green. Place the wrist receiver in the charger and charge it for at least 2 hours. The charging LED (10) is green during charging.

2. To test the radio link you need a Visit transmitter. Press the test button/s on the transmitter.

3. The wrist receiver starts to vibrate and lights up a Visit LED (1). If a bed shaker is connected during charging, it will vibrate instead of the wrist receiver. If nothing happens, see Troubleshooting.
   

Default signal pattern

When a transmitter is activated, the wrist receiver lights up a Visit LED (1) and starts to vibrate with a certain pace. This is called signal pattern. The transmitters determine the pattern, and the default is:

Personalizing your receiver

Changing the signal pattern
The signal pattern can only be changed on the transmitters. See Changing the signal pattern for the relevant transmitter.

Changing the radio key
If your Visit system is activated for no reason, there is probably a nearby system that triggers yours. In order to avoid radio interference, you need to change the radio key on all units. The radio key switches are located on the transmitters.

1. Open the transmitter cover and move any radio key switch to the up (on position) to change the radio key. See Changing the radio key for the relevant transmitter.
2. Press and hold the function button on the Wrist receiver until the green and yellow Visit LEDs (1) blink alternately. Release the button.
3. Press the test button/s on the transmitter within 30 seconds to send the new radio key.
4. All Visit LEDs (1) on the wrist receiver blink 5 times to show that the radio key has been changed. It then returns to normal mode. Please note that all Visit units must be set to the same radio key
   

Using the bed shaker

The BE1270 Bed shaker accessory wakes you with vibrations anything happens while you are asleep. Connect it to the charger port and slide it under your pillow or mattress.
