Battery compartment switch 2
Switch 2 determines Rx mic AGC (Automatic Gain Control) recovery
speed.
Factory setting UP – slow AGC.
If you don’t know that you require the fast AGC leave slow selected
UP is slow AGC.
DOWN is fast AGC.
Different AGC characteristics can be advantageous in different situations.
The slow AGC speed is particularly good for use with a tie clip mic in
averagely noisy rooms. However, the fast AGC speed is better for use
with conference microphones where the table is likely to be knocked.
As with all settings for the fmGenie, consider one setting at a time.
These settings rarely need changing once set.
RECEIVER BATTERY COMPARTMENT – USER SETTINGS
Battery compartment LO-HI switch
This switch changes the Rx output between neck loop or headphones
level and hearing aid direct input level.
Factory setting RIGHT= ‘HI’.
The fmGenie is supplied from the factory set to HI level so that you can
initially get your fmGenie system working using a test headset.
HI is high level for neck loop, headphones, or cochlear implant
processors.
LO
is low level for direct input.
Battery compartment ACTIVE / CANCEL switch
The cancel position for this switch cancels any treble or bass adjustment.
Factory setting ‘CANCEL’.
In common with 80% of hearing aid manufacturers, Connevans use
‘standard’ response microphone capsules. When connected to a radio aid,
the hearing aid microphone is effectively replaced by the microphone in
the radio aid. A tone adjustment facility is provided on the fmGenie to
enable better matching of the frequency response for the other 20% of
capsules.
Cancel should be selected when testing to specification.
