Oticon Amigo R5 User manual

Oticon Amigo R5 bodyworn with

Cochlear Freedom

You will need:

•An Oticon Amigo R5 bodyworn receiver

• A radio aid lead complete with filter (part

number DCFM15 – available from

Connevans, 600 or 900mm long). Do

not use an accessory adaptor cable

even if it fits.

What to do:

1. Plug the lead into the output jack of the receiver.

. Turn off the Freedom processor.

3. Put the other end of the lead into the socket at the base of the

Freedom processor, beneath the flap. *Be very careful

inserting this plug. First look at the plug which has a quarter

‘missing’. You must line this up with the equivalent corner in

the socket. You need pretty good eyesight! It is possible to

put this in the wrong way and break the socket, so great care

needs to be taken.

4. Turn on both the transmitter and receiver and make sure that

both units are showing the same channel.

5. Turn on the processor which will automatically detect the

presence of the receiver. Sound can now be heard through the

headpiece microphone and FM combined.

6. If you don’t switch off the processor, you will need to depress

both arrow bottoms together twice to toggle through M, T and

then A. The letters A (which indicate that an accessory has

been recognized) should show briefly on the screen when this

happens.

To listen to microphone only press both the increase and

decrease buttons together repeatedly until just an ‘M’ appears

on the screen.

To re-engage FM, press both buttons repeatedly until ‘ A’

flashes on the screen and the ‘M’ remains there.

7. It is good practice to set the Tx vol on the Amigo R5 receiver at

minimum initially and then adjust it upwards until an

appropriate listening level is reached.

8. Perform a listening test.

Troubleshooting

It is important to hold a supply of spare parts to check the

system.

To listen to the signal from the receiver,

you need the Freedom monitor earphones

(available from Connevans part number

DCEARMONFR or from Cochlear part

number Z6083 ) Unplug the direct input

lead from the processor and plug the

earphones into the socket on the base of

the processor. You can then plug the direct input lead

into the socket on the headphones and listen to the

signal.

Listening through the earphones does not tell you what the

child is hearing but it will give you a good idea about the

quality of the signal.

Batteries

Check the battery symbols. If it is losing charge quicker than

expected, it may be a faulty battery so you need to check the

batteries for damage, try replacing them or recharge them where

appropriate.

On the transmitter

Is there an aerial? An aerial is incorporated into the lead of the lapel

microphone so, if this is in use, you don’t need to use another one.

If using the internal microphone, make sure that an aerial has been

plugged in. A flashing alert will indicate if there is a problem with the

aerial. Try wiggling the aerial or trying a spare.

Check the lapel microphone. Intermittent sound can be caused by an

intermittent microphone lead. A flashing alert will indicate this.

Check it by trying a spare.

If the integral microphone cover is blocked this will cause the sound

to be muffled. Check it by using an external microphone.

On the receiver

Check that the volume has not been turned down.

Check that there is a steady red L D light on the receiver. If the

light is flashing, the FM system is not working correctly.

Check the volume

If the child complains about the signal, it is worth checking the

volume. This can be done by checking the signal in the way

described above and then adjusting the ‘Tx vol’ on the receiver until

an appropriate level is reached, starting at the minimum volume and

working upwards

Try changing the channel if there is poor sound quality or

interference.

Have you checked?

•Are the FM transmitter and receiver on the same channel?

•Are the cables on the FM transmitter or receiver frayed or

kinked?

•Has the transmitting distance been exceeded?

•Do the batteries for the FM transmitter and or the receiver

need replacing?

•Is the microphone on the transmitter working or is it muted?

•Has the processor program been set up for FM?

•Have you observed areas in the classroom that can cause dead

spots in the transmission by checking with the FM system

yourself?

•Have you tried reducing the volume or gain on the FM receiver?

•Have you tried a different FM channel?

•Have you changed the cable?
