When connected to your TV's audio output, the MP-02 transmits the TV sound directly to your paired hearing aids or Bluetooth headsets. This allows you to hear TV audio clearly without needing to increase the TV's volume for others in the room.

6.2. Using as a Wireless Microphone
The MP-02 can be used as a remote microphone to pick up speech from a person or group and transmit it directly to your hearing devices. This is particularly useful in noisy environments or when the speaker is at a distance.
- Select Microphone Mode: Press the Mode Button (item 2 in Figure 1) until the indicator light confirms microphone mode.
- Position Microphone: Place the MP-02 close to the person speaking or the sound source. The optimal connection range is up to 10 meters (approximately 33 feet).
