Repeater for the Lynx system
The Repeater forms part of Lynx – our wireless alert system for people with a hearing
impairment. Lynx uses various types of transmitters and receivers that alert you to
noises such as a ringing telephone or doorbell, or a fire alarm.
The repeater has two functions. Firstly, it functions as a repeater, i.e. it receives,
amplifies and transmits the signal onwards so that it reaches further. With one or
several Repeaters you enlarge the range and security of the system.
Secondly, the Repeater can function as an acoustic door alert, which uses a powerful
signal to alert the user.

Overview
Installing the Repeater
1. Choosing location:
Select a suitable position for the Repeater in a central location in the home.
It should always be installed on a flat surface in the vicinity of an electric socket,
ideally on the wall approx. 150-180 cm above the socket. Avoid positioning in
corners and in the vicinity of metal cabinets and similar materials as it can prevent
the wireless transmission of the signals.
2. Channel setting:
Check that the Repeater and all transmitters and receivers in the system have the
same channel setting (see next page).
3. Connection to the mains:
Connect the mains adapter cable to the socket under the Repeater. Put the cord
in the electric socket.
4. Function test:
Install the transmitters that you are going to use. Read the user manual for the
transmitters that you are installing.
Test the system by activating the transmitters in the system one at a time and
check that the receiver is displaying the correct alarm and that it can be reached in
all places.
5. Volume:
Set the required volume for the door alert (strong, weak or off) with the volume
control.
6. Ready for use:
The Repeater does not have an on/off switch, but is now ready for use.

ENGLISH
Type of fault Possible cause Action
The receiver does not
receive an alert from one
of the transmitters, but
the others are functioning
properly.
1. Too great a distance between the
transmitter and the Repeater.
2. The transmitter has a flat battery.
3. The transmitter is defective.
1. Move them closer and check
whether the signal is received.
2. Change the battery (see
transmitter user manual).
3. Contact the place of purchase
for repair.
The receiver does not always
receive alerts from some
transmitters.
There is too great a distance between
the Repeater and the receiver or
between the transmitters and the
Repeater.
Try moving the Repeater to
another place or increase the
number of Repeaters.
The receiver often receives
false alarms.
Someone in the vicinity has the
same system installed.
Change to another channel (see
above).
No sound from the speaker. 1. The volume control is set at zero.
2. The Repeater only gives an
acoustic alarm for door alert (other
alarms give no sound but the
Repeater is still functioning).
1. Increase the volume.
2. None.
Changing channels
The transmitters in the Lynx system transmit the signal wirelessly to the Repeater, which transmits the
signal onward. They can transmit on a total of 16 different channels (0-9, A-F). The Repeater and all
transmitters and receivers must be set to the same channel so that they can communicate. They are
preset to channel 9, and then operate together without alteration.
In some cases, it may be necessary to change the channel setting. If two or more users live near one
another, the alarms can interfere. This can be rectified by changing the channel settings so that they are
different for each person. Any channel can be selected except channel 0. (Channel 0 is reserved for a
common alert such as a fire alarm.)
If you need to change the channel on the Repeater,
proceed as follows:
The channel selector is on the rear. Carefully screw on
the channel selector using a screwdriver.
To change channels on the receiver, see user manual.
Troubleshooting
Start by reading the user manual. Check that the connection is correct and that all transmitters and
receivers in the system are set to the same channel. Then look in the table below.

case of the device since this would invalidate the warranty. If your product requires service, please contact
your hearing care professional for assistance.
Waste disposal
This product contains electrical or electronic equipment and should be disposed of carefully
in the interests of your safety and the environment. Please contact your local hearing care
professional concerning disposal of the product.
General precautions
• Different types of radiation, e.g. from NMR or CT scanners, may damage the device. Therefore,
do not wear the device in the vicinity of this type of equipment. Other types of radiation (burglary
alarms, room surveillance systems, radio equipment, mobile telephones, etc) will not damage the
device. These types of radiation could, however, momentarily affect the sound quality or create noise
in the device.
• WARNING: External devices connected to the product must be safe according the requirements of
EN 60601-1-1 or EN 60065, as appropriate.

Forstærker til Lynx-systemet
Forstærkeren indgår i Lynx – vores trådløse advarselssystem for personer med nedsat
hørelse. Lynx består af forskellige typer af sendere og modtagere, som gør dig opmærksom på forskellige begivenheder, f.eks. telefonsignal, dørsignal og brandalarm.
Forstærkeren har to funktioner. For det første fungerer den som forstærker, det vil
sige, at den modtager, forstærker og videresender signalet, så det når længere. Med en
eller flere forstærkere øger du rækkevidden og sikkerheden i systemet.
For det andet kan forstærkeren fungere som en akustisk varsling for en dør, som
advarer brugeren med kraftige signaler.

Installation af forstærkeren
1. Vælg placering:
Vælg en passende placering af forstærkeren på et centralt sted i hjemmet.
Den bør altid monteres på en plan overflade i nærheden af en stikkontakt, gerne
på væggen ca. 150 - 180 cm over stikkontakten. Undgå placering i et hjørne eller i
nærheden af metalskabe og lignende materiale, da disse kan forhindre den trådløse
overførsel af signalerne.
2. Kanalindstilling:
Kontrollér, at forstærkeren samt alle sendere og modtagere i systemet har samme
kanalindstilling (se næste side).
3. Tilslutning til elnettet:
Tilslut netadapterens kabel til stikkontakten under forstærkeren. Sæt kablet i stikkontakten.
4. Funktionstest:
Installer de sendere, du gerne vil bruge. Læs i brugsanvisningen for den respektive sender.
Test systemet ved, en ad gangen, at aktivere de sendere, som du har i systemet, og
kontrollér, at modtageren viser korrekt alarm, samt at den kan nås overalt.
5. Lydstyrke:
Indstil den ønskede lydstyrke for dørsignalet (kraftigt, svagt eller slukket) med
lydstyrkekontrollen.
6. Klar til brug:
Forstærkeren har ikke nogen til/fra-knap, men er nu klar til brug.

Problem Mulig årsag Handling
Modtageren tager ikke imod
varsling fra en af senderne,
men de andre fungerer godt.
1. For lang afstand mellem
senderen og forstærkeren.
2. Senderens batteri er
afladet.
3. Senderen er i stykker.
1. Flyt dem tættere på hinanden og
kontroller, om der modtages signal.
2. Udskift batteri (se senderens
brugsanvisning).
3. Kontakt indkøbsstedet for
reparation.
Modtageren tager kun imod
varsling af og til fra visse
sendere.
Der er for langt mellem
forstærkeren og modtageren
eller mellem senderne og
forstærkeren.
Prøv at flytte forstærkeren til en
anden plads eller øg antallet af
forstærkere.
Modtageren modtager ofte
falsk alarm.
Nogen i nærheden har
samme system installeret.
Skift til en anden kanal (se ovenfor).
Ingen lyd ud af højttaleren. 1. Lydstyrkekontrollen står
på nul.
2. Forstærkeren giver kun
akustisk alarm for dørsignal
(øvrige alarmer giver ingen
lyd, men forstærkeren fungerer stadig).
1. Sæt lydstyrken op.
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
2. Ingen.
Skift af kanal
Senderne i Lynx-systemet overfører signalet trådløst til forstærkeren, som sender signalet videre. Der er i
alt 16 forskellige kanaler, som de kan sende på (0-9, A-F). Forstærkeren samt alle sendere og modtagere
skal være indstillet på samme kanal for, at de skal kunne kommunikere. De er forindstillet på kanal 9, og
de vil da fungere sammen uden ændringer.
I visse tilfælde kan man dog have brug for at ændre kanalindstillingen. Hvis to eller flere brugere bor tæt
på hinanden, kan alarmerne forstyrre hinanden. Dette afhjælpes ved, at man ændrer kanalindstillingen,
så den bliver forskellig for alle personer. Man kan vælge en hvilken som helst ledig kanal, undtagen 0.
(Kanal 0 er reserveret for fælles varsling, f.eks. brandalarm.)
Hvis du har brug for at skifte kanal på forstærkeren, så gør således:
Kanalvælgeren sidder på bagsiden af forstærkeren.
Skru forsigtigt på kanalvælgeren med en skruetrækker.
For ændring af kanal på modtageren, se dennes
brugsanvisning.
Fejlsøgning
Begynd med at læse brugsanvisningen. Kontrollér, at indkoblingen er korrekt, og at alle sendere og
modtagere i systemet er indstillet på samme kanal. Søg derefter i tabellen nedenfor.
