miniTek & Tek Connection Guide

How to connect your miniTek & Tek to other devices

www.siemens.co.uk/hearing

The miniTek & Tek Bluetooth enhancement

system is a highly flexible, complete

solution that allows Bluetooth devices to

communicate with a hearing instrument

and, through the use of the Tek Transmitter,

allows a non Bluetooth enabled device to

make use of this excellent solution. The

miniTek/Tek package comprises the

miniTek/Tek Connect itself which controls

the hearing instruments, a Tek Transmitter

and all cables necessary to link the

miniTek/Tek into a variety of devices such

as TVs, MP3 players, etc. A device can be

anything from a phone to a TV and the

various methods of connecting devices are

discussed in detail on the following pages.

1. Activate the Bluetooth function on your phone or other device,

please refer to the manufacturer’s instruction for advice on how

to do this or, for specific mobile phone information, go to:

https://hearing.siemens.com/uk/04-products/19-tek/06-

pairing-guide/pairing-guide.jsp .

2a. Pairing Tek Connect

Press and hold the green

button on the Tek Connect

for about 7 seconds. The

Tek Connect will now enter

pairing mode as shown in

the diagram.

2b.Pairing miniTek

Press and hold the telephone

button for 5 seconds to start

pairing miniTek. When pairing

is activated all 3 buttons

(on/off, telephone and

audio source button) will

shine and then the

telephone button will flash

blue when in pairing

mode.

Connecting to an existing Bluetooth

device via the miniTek/Tek Connect

Bluetooth devices can be connected to the miniTek/Tek

Connect via a process called pairing. In order to pair the

miniTek/Tek Connect with a device (for example a mobile

phone) follow these instructions:

3. Now search for a Bluetooth headset, accessory or discover

Bluetooth devices on your Bluetooth device. For information

on how to do this please refer to the manufacturer’s instructions

or for specific mobile phone information, go to:

https://hearing.siemens.com/uk/04-products/19-tek/06-

pairing-guide/pairing-guide.jsp .

4. Once the discovery process has completed, the miniTek/Tek

Connect will be displayed as a device that has been found.

miniTek will be displayed as RCU Connect and Tek Connect as

Tek Connect. Next select and then pair with the miniTek/Tek

Connect. Enter the PIN "0000" if requested.

5. Your Bluetooth device is now connected with your miniTek/Tek

Connect. Your Tek Connect will exit the pairing mode and return

to the normal screen. Your miniTek telephone ED will go out

when paired.

When connecting a mobile or land phone via Bluetooth, the phone

must be within 10 metres of the miniTek/Tek Connect and you can

then answer the phone and hang up the phone using the Green

and Red buttons on the Tek Connect and the telephone button on

the miniTek. During the telephone conversation the sound will be

relayed to your hearing instruments and you must speak into the

microphone of the miniTek/Tek Connect. Therefore, the correct

position for the miniTek/Tek Connect during a phone conversation

is directly in front of you, either on a flat surface, worn round the

neck, on jacket or top using the miniTek clip (miniTek only) or held

up to your mouth.

To physically connect the miniTek/Tek Connect to your device, you

need to select the appropriate cables. The miniTek/Tek Connect has a

2.5mm stereo jack in the bottom right hand corner of the casing. You

are supplied with two different length cables (cables 1 and 2) that

have a 2.5mm stereo jack connection on one end and a 3.5mm stereo

jack on the other end. These cables can be used with either the

miniTek/Tek Connect or the Tek Transmitter (described in the previous

section). Plug the 2.5mm end of either cable into the miniTek/Tek

Connect and then connect the other end into the device you want to

listen to. You can do this via one of the three following methods:

1. Plug the cable directly into a headphone socket on the device, e.g.

the headphone socket of your TV (note, depending on your TV this

might mute the sound through the conventional speakers).

Connecting to a non Bluetooth

device via the miniTek/Tek Connect

The miniTek/Tek Connect can be physically connected to a wide

range of devices. However, remember the limitation will be that

you need to keep the miniTek/Tek Connect within range of the

hearing instruments, whereas utilising the Tek Transmitter and

Bluetooth allows you to be remote from the device.

2. Or, plug the cable into the audio out sockets of your device using

cable 3 and either cable 1 or 2. These sockets are typically coloured

red and white and most audio devices have them. Plug one end of

cable 3 into the device and the other into either cable 1 or 2 which

should also be connected into your miniTek/Tek Connect.

Cable 1 or 2

miniTek

The advantage of using Bluetooth is that the transmitter can be up to

10 metres away from the miniTek/Tek Connect allowing you to be

remote from the device that you are using. For example, you can

leave the transmitter plugged into your TV and sit in your favourite

armchair and listen in comfort.

To physically connect the Tek Transmitter to your device, you need to

select the appropriate cables. The Tek Transmitter has a 2.5mm stereo

jack in one corner of the casing. Cables 1 and 2 can be physically

connected to the Tek Transmitter via this socket and the other end of

the cable should be plugged into the device you want to listen to. You

can do this via one of the following three methods:

Connecting to a non Bluetooth

device via the Tek Transmitter

The Tek Transmitter allows a device that is not Bluetooth enabled

to be connected via Bluetooth to the miniTek/Tek Connect only.

Tek Transmitters automatically pair (see FAQ for definition of pair)

to the miniTek/Tek Connect when a Tek Transmitter program is

selected. So, for example. If the TV is set up on program 4 and the

miniTek/Tek Connect is used to select program 4, then the Tek

Transmitter automatically connects the device to the miniTek/Tek

Connect, in this case allowing the sound from the TV to be sent

directly to the hearing instruments. The Tek Transmitter has a

small LED in one corner, if this light is flashing then there is

currently no connection. If the light is solid then the transmitter is

connected to a miniTek/Tek Connect. If the LED is a red colour

then it is connected to a power source or requires charging.

3. Plug the cable into the SCART out socket, of your device (some

devices have separate IN and OUT sockets, some are combined).

You will find a SCART adapter (converter 1) in your miniTek/Tek

package. Plug converter 1 into the SCART out socket of the

device and cable 3 into converter 1. Now plug the other end of

cable 3 into either cable 1 or 2 the other end of which should be

connected into your Tek Transmitter.

After you have physically connected the Tek Transmitter

to your device turn the device on and ensure that it is producing

sound. Next turn the Tek Transmitter on and select the appropriate

audio source/program with your miniTek/Tek Connect. You should

now be able to enjoy wireless stereo sound through your hearing

instruments (provided you have hearing instruments for both ears).

You can control both the volume and the treble using your Tek

Connect. You can control the volume using your miniTek.
