For the combination of a Classic FM transmitter, MLxi/MLxi Baha and
a DPAI No hearing instrument, activate the push button to enable
toggling between “FM only” and “FM+M”. The push button can then be
operated as follows:
Long press (2 seconds): Switching on or off
When MLxi/MLxi Baha is switched on:
Short press:
Toggling between FM+M and FM only
(program change is confirmed by a short beep)
The various combinations available look like this:
5.2 Fitting MLxi to a cochlear implant speech processor
The AutoConnect feature of MLxi precisely measures the impedance of
the audio input and automatically sets the output to match the input.
Due to the special design of audio inputs of cochlear implants, Auto-
Connect may not find the correct matching parameters. Therefore, it is
recommended to program the MLxi using FM SuccessWare by selecting
the specific CI speech processor from the drop down list:
Programming MLxi for a specific processor disables AutoConnect and
the output parameters of MLxi are optimized for the selected processor.
If you do not program the MLxi using FM SuccessWare, the user may
experience the following:
An audible tone burst every startup (indicating the AutoConnect
ß
measurement)
Incorrect Freedom BW and 3G speech processor FM levels
ß
Incorrect Harmony/Auria and Freedom Bodyworn monitoring results
ß
For the following processors MLxi programming is not required
(AutoConnect works fine):
MED-El Opus2
ß
All speech processors using MicroLink CI S
