1. Welcome

Congratulations on choosing the Phonak TVLink.

It expands the way you hear your world by wirelessly

connecting your hearing instruments to your TV and

other entertainment or communication devices.

All sounds are transmitted in StereoSound, for full

enjoyment of movies or other TV programs.

Your hearing professional can program your hearing

instruments so you can still hear conversation in the

room while watching TV or listening to music. What’s

more, with iCom you can switch to a phone call or

have a conversation with a simple touch of a button.

Please read this user guide to discover how easy it is

to beneﬁt from all the features of your TVLink. For

further information, please visit the Phonak website

2.1Hazard warnings

Keep this device out of reach of children under

3 years.

Interference with medical devices. These Phonak

devices use low-power, digitally coded transmission

to communicate to your hearing instruments.

Although unlikely, interference with medical devices

such as pacemakers is possible. Therefore persons

using medical devices such as pacemakers are not

permitted to use this device.

Use only hearing instruments that have been

specially programmed for you by your hearing

professional.

2. Important information

7

Changes or modiﬁcations to any of the devices

that were not explicitly approved by Phonak are

not permitted.

External devices may only be connected if they

have been tested in accordance with corresponding

IECXXXXX standards. Only use accessories approved

by Phonak AG.

2.2 Information on product safety

When TVLink is not in use, turn off the TVLink

basestation.

Always plug in the iCom neckloop and wear it

around the neck when transmitting signals to your

hearing instruments.

Protect the device connectors, plugs, charging slot

and power supply from dirt and debris.

8

Protect all devices from excessive moisture (bathing

or swimming areas) and heat sources (radiator,

TV top). Protect devices from excessive shock and

vibration.

Clean devices using a damp cloth. Never use

household cleaning products (washing powder, soap,

etc.) or alcohol to clean them. Never use a

microwave or other heating devices to dry any of

the devices.

The digitally-coded, inductive transmission

technology used in these devices is extremely reliable

and experiences virtually no interference from

other devices. It should be noted, however, that when

operating the system near computer equipment,

larger electronic installation or other strong electro-

magnetic fields, it may be necessary to be at least

60 cm (24”) away from the interfering device to

ensure proper operation.

X-ray radiation, CT or MRI scans may destroy or

adversely affect the correct functioning of the

devices.

Do not use these devices in areas where electronic

equipment is prohibited.
