(see below)
Listening
check A listening check of the speech
processor can be performed using
MED-ELs microphone test device
(MTD). Follow the instructions
given in the user manual of the
MTD.
You can check the Amigo trans-
mitter by plugging a headset into
the auxiliary audio input jack at
the bottom of the transmitter.
Select “Monitor Single Channel”
in the “FM Channel Wizard”, talk
into the microphone and listen in
on the selected channel.
If the signal is distorted and you
suspect electromagnetic inter-
ference, walk around in the room
in order to locate the source of
this interference. Check if either
fi nding a diff erent place in the
room is benefi cial, or whether
choosing a diff erent channel will
solve the problem for the CI user.
In case the close proximity of the
speech processor and the Amigo
receiver causes interference,
the FM-CI adaptor with the Amigo
receiver can be connected to
the speech processor, or to the
remote battery pack via a cable,
and attached to the clothes. This
way the distance between the
Amigo receiver and the speech
processor is increased minimizing
the risk of interference.
The receiver cannot be pro-
grammed while the speech
processor is being worn and
switched on:
In this case, the signal of the
speech processor coil competes
with the programming signal.
Detach the coil from the cable for
the short time it takes to program
the receiver. Be sure to re-attach
it properly and check its function
(see speech processor manual).
If the child is old enough, you can
ask whether he or she can hear
your voice.
