Transcript

Connevans fmGenie with Advanced Bionics Harmony You will need: • A Genie transmitter and receiver • an iConnect earhook (without the battery) • An fmGenie direct input lead with inline filter available in different sizes from Connevans (for contact details and link see main page) 400m lead single lead Part no. FMGFS400 400m lead binaural lead Part no. FMGFV400 What to do: 1) Turn off the Harmony processor by removing the battery pack. Turn off the fmGenie receiver. 2) Ensure that the switch on the back of the fmGenie receiver is on HI (see illustration). Remove the standard earhook from the 3) Harmony by twisting it just a little more than 90° in either direction. 4) Push the iConnect earhook into the Harmony by placing it in the correct position and then pushing firmly until it clicks into place. 5) When you use the iConnect with the fmGenie there is no need to have a battery in the iConnect. 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) 11) 12) 13) 14) Take the direct input lead. Plug the three pin plug into the iConnect socket. Plug the other end of the lead into the fmGenie receiver. Ensure that the volume control on the Harmony and on the receiver are set to the minimum setting. In this order: - turn on the FM transmitter - turn on the FM receiver - connect the battery to the Harmony processor thus turning it on. Gradually increase the volume on the processor to the everyday setting. Gradually increase the volume on the FM receiver to a comfortable listening level. Complete a listening check with the user. It is advised to leave the transmitter on during the lesson. The teacher should simply use the microphone mute facility (star button) on the transmitter if the child does not need to listen to the input for a time. When the teacher wants to speak to the child again, they simply press the star button again. Turn the receiver off before turning the transmitter off. When the system is not in use it should be turned off. Troubleshooting You can use the accessories tester from Connevans (part number FMG750) to check the aerial on the Tx and the fmGenie lapel microphone with its lead. Gently wiggle or bend the leads. Intermittent connections will cause bad crackling and or interruption of sound. Make sure the cable is plugged in correctly at both ends. You are not able to listen to the signal using this system so you are dependent on feedback from the child. Children should only be supplied with this system if they are able to give feedback on the signal they are receiving. Things to check: • 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 or charging? • Is the microphone on the transmitter working? • Are the FM settings set appropriately? • Has the processor program been set to audio mixing enabled? • 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 Tx volume on the FM receiver? • Have you tried a different FM channel? • Have you replaced the FM adaptor cable to check if it is working? • Have you replaced the direct input lead?
