20 | Safety Information
Although the Mini Remote Mic is not formally certified (IP rated) for protection against
dust or water ingress, per IEC 60529, it has been tested to the IP 5X level. This means
that the Mini Remote Mic is protected from dust.
The battery in your Mini Remote Mic is not replaceable. Do not attempt to replace
the battery. The Mini Remote Mic does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Do not
open or modify it.
Do not connect the Mini Remote Mic to any devices not described in this manual. The
expected service life of the Mini Remote Mic is 3 years.
Wireless Technical Description
Starkey Hearing Technologies Mini Remote Microphone operates in the 2.4- 2.4835
GHz band with a maximum effective radiated power of 8 dBm with transmission
modulation type of GFSK with 2 MHz bandwidth. The receiver section of the radio
has a bandwidth of 2 MHz.
The Mini Remote Mic has been tested to, and has passed, the following emissions
and immunity tests:
• IEC 60601-1-2 radiated and conducted emissions requirements for a Group 1
Class B device as stated in CISPR 11.
• Harmonic distortion and voltage fluctuations affecting the power input source
as stated in Table 2 of IEC 60601-1-2.
• RF radiated immunity at a field level of 10 V/m between 80 MHz and 2.7 GHz
as well as higher field levels from communications devices as stated in Table 9
of IEC 60601-1-2.
• Immunity to power frequency magnetic fields at a field level of 30 A/m.
• Immunity to ESD levels of +/- 8 kV conducted discharge and +/- 15 kV air
discharge.
• Immunity to electrical fast transients on the power input at a level of +/- 2 kV
at a 100 Hz repetition rate.
• Immunity to surges on the power input of +/- 1 kV line to line.
• Immunity to conducted disturbances induced by RF fields on the power input
as stated in Table 6 of IEC 60601-1-2.
• Immunity to voltage dips and interruptions on the power input as stated in
Table 6 of IEC 60601-1-2.
If you use other medical devices or wear implantable medical devices such as
defibrillators or pacemakers and are concerned that your Mini Remote Mic might
cause interference with your medical device, please contact your physician or the
manufacturer of your medical device for information about the risk of disturbance. The
Mini Remote Mic should not be used during an MRI procedure or in a hyperbaric
chamber. The Mini Remote Mic is not formally certified to operate in explosive
atmospheres such as may be found in coal mines or certain chemical factories.
Use on Aircrafts
The Mini Remote Mic should not be used on aircrafts unless specifically permitted by
the flight personnel.
International Use
The Mini Remote Mic is approved to operate at radio frequencies that are specific
to your country or region and might not be approved for use outside your country
or region.
Be aware that operation during international travel may cause interference with other
electronic devices, or other electronic devices may cause interference with your Mini
Remote Mic.
Your Mini Remote Mic is designed to operate and be stored within the temperature
range of -10˚C (14˚F) to 45˚C (113˚F) and relative humidity range of 10%-95%.
We are required by regulations to provide the following warnings:
WARNING:
Use of the Mini Remote Mic directly next to other electronic
equipment should be avoided because it could result in improper performance. If
such use is necessary, note as to whether your hearing aids and the other equipment
are operating normally.
WARNING:
Use of accessories, components or replacement parts other than
those provided by the manufacturer of the Mini Remote Mic could result in increased
electromagnetic emissions and decreased electromagnetic immunity and could result
in degradation of performance.
WARNING:
If Portable Radio Frequency communications equipment is used
closer than 30 cm (12 inches) from your Mini Remote Mic, degradation of the
performance of your hearing aid could result. If this occurs, move away from the
communications equipment.
