DEVICE FUNCTIONS

• TURNING THE DEVICE ON: Slide the Power switch to the ON position.
  • The very first time the device is turned on, it will be in Boost Mode and the ambient volume setting is at medium sound level.
    You will hear beeps indicating what mode you are in:
    • Listen Mode = 1 beep / Enhance Mode = 2 beeps / Boost Mode = 3 beeps / Outdoor Mode = 4 beeps
• CHANGING AMBIENT SOUND VOLUME: Volume changes when pressing the ambient volume up or down controls. The ambient sound volume functions independently of the wireless volume – it can enhance ambient sound even when there is no wireless signal.
  • Volume up increases the volume by one stage.
  • Volume down decrease the volume by one stage. When the sound level changes a single beep is produced as an indicator.
• WHEN AMBIENT VOLUME REACHES MINIMUM SOUND LEVEL: There will be a double beep. If the volume down is pressed again at this level, the sound level will not change and a double beep will be produced again.
• WHEN AMBIENT VOLUME REACHES MAXIMUM SOUND LEVEL: There will be a double beep. If the volume up is pressed again at this level, the sound level will not change and a double beep will be produced again.
• CHANGING LISTENING MODES: Press both the ambient volume up and down buttons at the same time for one second. The resulting beep (s), which will have a different tone and be of longer duration than the volume beep indicator, will indicate the current mode.
  • Single beep will be produced to indicate Listen Mode – maximum sound level of 85dB.
  • Double beep will be produced to indicate Enhanced Mode – maximum sound level of 98dB.
  • Triple beep will be produced to indicate Boost Mode – maximum sound level of 104dB.
