Take care inserting the cable into the connection point. Align carefully and then slide – don’t ram it in!

Earhooks

The earhook can be detached by turning it a little more than ¼ turn either to the right or the left and then gently pulling it apart. To put it back on again, align the earhook in the final position and gently push it on until it clicks.

Standard earhook
To be used when the processor’s built in microphone is the primary source for capturing sound. /
T-Mic earhook
For everyday use. Has an omni-directional microphone which is worn in the bowl of the ear. Particularly useful in noisy environments or on the phone. /
Direct Connect earhook
Used to link with bodyworn radio aid receivers and various battery powered audio devices eg iPod, CD player. You will also need to use two cables: a Direct Connect cable (from earhook) and an audio interface cable (to the device). For photo, see below. /
iConnect earhook
There are two types of iConnect
The one at the top is the newer small iConnect (CI-5751-120/220/320) which takes standard A10 size batteries. This battery should be removed when not in use.
The bottom one is the older adult version. (CI 5751-100/200/300) This requires ZeniPower batteries which are only available from Advanced Bionics or from Connevans.
These ear hooks are for use with cable free ear level radio aid receivers eg Phonak MicrolinkMLxS, micro MLxS and MLxi (full dynamic). The receiver is plugged directly into the earhook. /

Telecoil

There is a built in telecoil and this can be assigned to a particular program by the clinic. When using a loop system or hearing aid compatible telephone, that program should be selected.

Accessories

These can be connected by using the Direct Connect earhook and the Direct Connect cable. An audio interface cable is then used to connect to battery powered devices such as CD players, iPods etc.

A program needs to be designated for use with an external source.
