WIRELESS SECURITY MEASURES
Wireless signal security is assured through device system design that
includes:
• A built-in pairing table which specifies valid and legitimate
pairing among units.
• A proprietary Siemens communication protocol which checks
the package numbers during each transmission.
• A Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) to check data validity and
correct errors.
Push button on/off
Your Siemens hearing instruments may be programmed to allow
you to turn them on and off using the program button. To turn
the instrument off using the program button, press and hold the
button for 3–5 seconds. To turn it back on, press and hold the
program button for 3–5 seconds. Please note that after having
turned the hearing instrument off using the program button,
you must wait approximately 10 seconds for the system to reset
before turning it back on again by using the program button.
Power on delay
Your hearing instruments may be equipped with an advanced
power-on delay feature. This feature delays sound from entering
your hearing instruments when they are first turned on so
that you may insert the instruments into your ears without
experiencing unpleasant feedback (whistling).
Low battery indicator
Your hearing instrument may be programmed to inform you
when the battery should be replaced for best performance. You
may hear an intermittent series of beeps and/or experience low
amplification power or volume. Change the battery immediately if
either of these should occur.
Volume control alert tones
Your hearing instrument may be programmed to inform you
of changes to volume. You may hear soft beeps each time you
change the volume and a three beep warning when the volume
limit has been reached. Once the maximum or minimum volume
has been reached, further changes in that direction will have no
effect.
Program change alert tones
Your hearing instrument may be programmed to inform you of
changes to the program. The program change may be confirmed
by alert tones or beeps that correlate to the program you are in.
That means if you select Program 3, the hearing instrument will
beep 3 times.
Tinnitus Therapy Feature
TINNITUS NOISER:
Your hearing instrument may be equipped with a tinnitus
noiser. Many tinnitus patients also suffer from some degree of
hearing loss. Many hearing instruments can be used alone or in
combination with the tinnitus noiser. The tinnitus noiser is fixed
to a broadband noise that can be adjusted by your Hearing Care
Professional for your tinnitus therapy. The feature may provide
temporary relief of your tinnitus.
