In order to pair an INEAR with the BELTPACK, access to the "Connect IE" menu.
Upon validation, the BELTPACK will be paired with the nearest INEAR.

Notes :

- The INEAR shall be set in "Discoverable Mode" (see INEAR User Guide).

- The BELTPACK memory storage capacity is limited to two INEAR.

- The BELTPACK can transmit an audio stream simultaneously to two INEARs. The two INEAR

shall be paired during the rst utilization. This will occur automatically after rst use (see TX-

BOX User Guide ).

4 - 8 ...Enabling the Eco mode:

The Eco mode maximizes the INEAR battery autonomy.

The principle is to stop the audio stream between the "INEAR" and the "BELTPACK" when
no signal is transmitted from the "BELTPACK". The calibration of the noise limit level is
automatically made when the “Eco” mode is activated.
The "Calibrate" button enables to redo a new calibration (if needed).

Calibration should optimally be performed in a “quiet” environment, otherwise the
calibration operation shall be repeated.
