Warnings

Amigo parts can be dangerous if swallowed:

• The Amigo system is not a toy and therefore should be kept out of the reach of children

and anyone else who might swallow parts or otherwise cause injury to themselves.

Special attention should be paid to the smaller components in order to prevent children

from swallowing them and choking.

• Never change the battery and never connect the receiver to the hearing aid in front of

infants, small children or persons with learning difficulties.

If a part is swallowed, see a doctor immediately.

8 9

Battery use:

• Always use NiMH rechargeable batteries or alkaline batteries.

• Always use batteries recommended by your Hearing Care Professional.

• Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.

• Never dispose of batteries by burning them. There is a risk they will explode and cause

serious injury.

Do not damage batteries:

• Batteries should not be dropped, crushed, punctured, modified or otherwise mutilated.

Such abuse may result in leakage or heat generation. Damaged or

deformed batteries must be replaced with new and unused ones of the same type.

Risk of harm caused by unintentional noise that may mue important signals

System dysfunctions:

• The Amigo system will cease to function if the batteries have run out. The system may

also produce a high whistling noise (feedback) if the battery is low, or if it is subjected

to loud sound while the microphone is off but the receiver is still on. Users should be

aware that these sounds should not be confused with warning sounds – e.g. car horns

in traffic.

Use in aircrafts:

• Amigo should not be used on aircrafts without the permission of the flight crew.

Please note that Amigo can cause interference with other medical devices. Such

interference can also be caused by radio signals, power line disturbances, airport

metal detectors, electromagnetic fields from other medical devices and electrostatic dis-

charges.

Optional Accessories:

A number of optional accessories are available for Amigo T5 as shown below:

T5:

• Directional lapel microphone

• Boom microphone

• Antenna

• 6-unit charger

Safety requirements regarding Direct Audio Input (DAI)

• Safety when using Amigo with DAI (Direct Audio Input) is determined by the external

signal source. When the DAI is connected to AC-operated equipment, this equipment

must comply with IEC-60065, IEC-60601 or equivalent safety standards.

For FCC Part 15 / RSS Gen&210:

“This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:(1) This device may not cause harm-

ful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including

interference that may cause undesired operation”

For FCC Part 95.1017:

‘‘This device may not interfere with TV reception or Federal Government radar.”

For RSS 210:

“If TV channel 13 is used in the area, the installer shall reduce or adjust the RF radiated

power so that near-by TV channel 13 receivers do not receive radio interference from the

system installed”.

Preparing your Amigo system

Inserting the batteries

To insert the two AAA batteries, remove the battery lid on the back of the transmitter

and/or receiver and position the batteries according to the markings (+/ -).

Having done this, replace the battery lid. The Amigo T5 can then be charged.

Note: The positive and negative ends of the battery may appear similar, so do

double-check that the battery are positioned correctly.

Charging the batteries

The Amigo T5 comes with two AAA rechargeable NiMH silver-sleeved batteries,

which must be charged for 14 hours before being used for the first time. You can

replace the batteries with any of the following:

• Special “silver-sleeved” rechargeable batteries

Only available through your Hearing Care Professional, these are the only batteries

that can be recharged inside the Amigo T5.

• Standard, rechargeable NiMH batteries

Although these cannot be recharged inside the Amigo T5, they can be removed for

charging in an external charger purchased from an electronics store.

• Standard, non-rechargeable alkaline batteries

Can be used in an emergency, i.e. if you don’t have time to charge your rechargeable

batteries. But do remember that alkaline batteries must never be recharged.

Note: Always dispose of old batteries in approved battery disposal bins since it may be

illegal to dispose of them in ordinary bins. For more information please consult your

Hearing Care Professional.

14 15

To charge the batteries, plug the charger into the charger plug on the top of the unit as

shown in the picture below.

Please note that the Amigo T5 must be switched OFF when charging.

The Amigo T5 offers failsafe charging, which prevents alkaline batteries from being

charged.

Note: Rechargeable batteries should be replaced once every year, to maintain full bat-

tery life.

Changing channels

Amigo T5 transmitter

To change the channel on your Amigo T5 transmitter, you must unlock the channel select

buttons by holding down one of the channel selection buttons on the front of the unit for

2 seconds (the display will blink once). The channel selection buttons will then be

unlocked allowing you to change the channel by pressing either the up

or down button.

If the channel selection buttons are not activated for a

period of approximately 2 seconds, the channel selec-

tion buttons will be re-locked (the display blinks once)

to avoid unintentional channel change. To unlock the

channel selection buttons again, hold down one of the

channel selection buttons on the front of the unit for 2

seconds (the display will blink once).

LED and Display indicator

The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) and the display on the Amigo T5 not only indicates that

the power is on, but also shows:

LED Meaning

Using the Amigo T5 together with Amigo Receivers

The Amigo T5 functions with all Amigo receivers as long as the channel of the transmit-

ter and the receiver are matched.

Please refer to Amigo Receiver Instructions For Use (IFU) for further instructions on how

to set up the Amigo receivers.

About channels

Your Amigo system is a radio device, and like any other radio, it communicates on specific

channels. Your transmitter and receiver must be on the same channel to work together.

Within close proximity, never operate two transmitters on the same channel – since this

will cause interference.

If you are travelling internationally, be aware that your channel may not be approved for

use in all countries. If you wish to use your T5 in a different country, you must contact

your Hearing Care Professional for help in changing the country set-up.

Some electronic devices (microwave ovens, mobile phones, other radio devices, comput-

ers, and flourescent lights, for example) can interfere with your Amigo signal.

Connecting the Amigo T5 to external audio sources

(TV, stereo etc.)

External audio sources can be connected to the Amigo T5 via the 3.5 mm jack AUX plug at

the top panel of the unit such as:

• Computer/Television

• CD/DVD/MP3 player

Furthermore, the Amigo T5 microphone can be

muted without muting the auxiliary input signal by

pressing down the mute button on the top panel of

the Amigo T5.

Note: Since the microphone also acts as the

antenna, you must use an external antenna if you

do not want the microphone to be connected during

an AUX transmission.
