volume will increase / decrease one step. When you
reach the maximum or minimum volume, you will
hear a beep each time you press the button.

The PSS will “remember” your volume setting for this
mode. This volume setting can be different than the
setting in Conversation Mode.

USING COMPANION MODE 
& MIC 

(Optional with some PSS models)

The Companion Mode provides further
amplification and speech intelligibility, primarily in
situations where you want to hear one source of
sound, such as your partner’s voice from across the
table. By clipping the Companion Mic to another
individual’s lapel or collar, the voice of that person
will be picked up and amplified.

The Companion Mic will stay connected to the 
Ear Module up to 30 feet, depending on the
transmission environment (i.e. no obstructions by
walls or interference by other wireless devices). If 
the Companion Mic moves out of range, you may
receive sound disruption prior to disconnection of
the Companion Mic from the Ear Module. Once 
the units are back in range, the Companion Mic will
reconnect with the Ear Module, unless the unit has
been turned off.

Turning ON 

Press and hold down the button until
the green status light comes on (approximately 4
seconds). The Companion Mic is ON. The green
status light will start to flash indicating that the
Companion Mic is trying to connect to the Ear
Module. The green status light will stop flashing
once the connection is made.

TIP: If the Companion Mic cannot connect to the Ear Module,
the green status light will continue to flash for up to 60
seconds. If no connection can be made, the status light will
turn red. In this instance, check to see if the Ear Module is
