Evening Check List
Do not waste time
unnecessarily disconnecting
items.
You will only have to put
them all back together in the
morning and it saves
general wear and tear.
As the MLxS receiver takes
its power from the hearing
aid battery it is very
important that the battery is
in good condition.
A low hearing aid battery will
result in increased hiss and
reduced range – the normal life of a hearing aid battery
will be more than halved when used with an MLxS.
If in doubt, fit a new battery in the hearing aid.
The SmartLink has a battery life of approx 10 hours so we advise charging daily.
Check that the SmartLink SX unit on charge has a flashing battery icon.
If the battery icon is not flashing then the unit is not charging – check
the connections.

Hearing
aid shoe
and MLxS
TEST
the overall system.
Give the transmitter to a friend or place it somewhere a few
metres away where it will pick up some identifiable sound
and listen to the output of the hearing aid.
If you are the hearing aid user, make sure that you can hear a
clear sound from the transmitter. If you are a hearing helper,
use a stetoclip and attenuator to listen to the hearing aid.
RECEIVER
Gently check the connections between the MLxS
receiver, the shoe and hearing aid to check that the sound
does not break up or crackle.
Worn hearing aid contacts are a common source of problems,
if necessary return the hearing aid to the clinic for re-casing.
TRANSMITTER
While still listening to the hearing aid,
ask your helper to gently wiggle the lavalier neck strap on the
SmartLink SX transmitter make sure that the sound does
not break up or crackle. Change any suspect items.
BATTERY STATUS
Use a battery tester to check
the condition of the hearing aid battery. Look at the
SmartLink display to see that there is enough power
for the time that the system will be used – but of
course, you did check & recharge last night!
RE-ORDER
spares as required – always keep
spare shoes and hearing aid batteries etc.
