Other External Auditory Input Devices
In addition to the accessories that are provided with the BTE
Sound Processor, you may want to connect other external auditory
input devices to your processor. The Audio Interface Cable can be
used to connect other external auditory input devices with the
BTE Sound Processor. One end of the Audio Interface Cable con-
nects to the end of the Auxiliary Audio Earhook cable. The other
end of the Audio Interface Cable is designed to connect with
battery-powered FM systems, tape recorders, telephone adapters
or television audio amplifiers.
NOTE:
The connector on the Auxiliary Audio Earhook is set up for a
stereo input. The use of an auxiliary input whose cables terminate in
a male mono;lug may cause reduced volume, reduced clarity or both.
Contact the manufacturer of the auxiliary input device (e.g. FM
system) or Advanced Bionics for assistance.
Please contact Advanced Bionics prior to using such external
auditory input devices to verify that the devices in question are
compatible with the CLARION system.

Troubleshooting your BTE Sound Processor
3. Place the microphone in a secure position using the cable clip
provided.
4. Ensure that the PowerCel is properly attached to the BTE
Sound Processor and adjust the volume or sensitivity as neces-
sary.
When the Auxiliary Microphone is used, the microphone located
in the BTE Sound Processor may remain on or shut off depending
on how your system is programmed by your audiologist.
IMPORTANT!
The Auxiliary Microphone provided by Advanced Bionics is
designed to work specifically with your BTE. For this rea-
son, do not use any microphone other than the one designat-
ed by Advanced Bionics for the BTE Sound Processor.
T-Mic
The T-Mic can be used in place of the standard BTE earhook. To
place the T-Mic on the BTE, remove the standard earhook by
unscrewing. Screw the T-Mic onto the BTE until it is tightly in
place and the earhook portion is oriented correctly to fit over the
ear.
The T-Mic should rest inside the
open bowl of the ear. The stalk of
the microphone can be bent so the
microphone points downward and
toward the outer rim of the ear.
For many BTE users the T-Mic
can be satisfactorily used without
reprogramming. However you
and your audiologist can discuss
various programming options for
optimization of the T-Mic (e.g.
use of an auxiliary only mixing
setting) after you have had some experience with this accessory.
