Operating range
The operating range of the FM system is highly de-
pendent on the surroundings, including construction
materials. The optimum operating range of 20-30 me-
tres can be obtained in the open and with the micro-
phone lead hanging freely. Inside buildings with steel
and concrete walls and floors, the operating range may
be reduced to ten metres. The position of the receiver
also affects the range.
Power drain on the hearing aid battery
The receiver is powered by the hearing aid battery.
Please note that when it is turned on and receives sig-
nals from the transmitter, battery power drain will in-
crease by approximately 100% compared to use with-
out FM.
Also note that if the hearing aid is provided with a low
battery alarm, FM reception may stop before the alarm
beeps. If the receiver is turned off, the hearing aid may
be able to work for slightly longer.
