Instructions for Use

Thank you

Thank you for choosing our product. To support your efforts, we have put great care and atten­tion into making sure that your new Ponto Streamer has high quality and is easy to use and
maintain.

Ponto Streamer is made specifically for the bone anchored sound processors Ponto Plus and
Ponto Plus Power from Oticon Medical. Ponto Streamer wirelessly connects your sound pro­cessor to different audio sources and transmits the sound directly into the sound processor to
make it work like a wireless headphone. Ponto Streamer can be used no matter if you are
wearing one or two Ponto Plus sound processors.

We recommend that you read this manual carefully before you start to use the device, in order
to achieve the maximum benefit from your Ponto Streamer. The manual describes the most
frequently used functions, which are important to understand before you start using the Ponto
Streamer. We also encourage you to read the “Getting Started” user guide, which is included
in the package. You can find “how-to videos” and a support section on
www.oticonmedical.com/connectline. If you have any questions about the use or
maintenance of the Ponto Streamer, please contact your hearing care professional.

Indication for use

The Ponto Streamer is intended to be used by Ponto bone anchored hearing system users
together with their wireless Ponto Plus and Ponto Plus Power sound processors. The Ponto
Streamer is a communication interface between the Ponto Plus sound processor and other
devices – such as cell phones.

The Ponto Streamer can be connected to a range of external (additional) devices to enable the
Ponto user to better hear a TV or to communicate through Bluetooth-enabled devices, e.g. cell
phones.

The Ponto Streamer can also be used as a remote control that enables you to adjust the Ponto
Plus sound processor volume and change programs in the Ponto Plus sound processor.

Warnings

You should familiarize yourself fully with the following general warnings and the entire con­tents of this booklet before using your Ponto Streamer.

Products to be connected to external equipment

Safe usage of the Ponto Streamer with the auxiliary input cable is determined by an external
signal source. When the input cable is connected to mains-operated equipment, this equip­ment must comply with IEC-60065, IEC-60950, IEC-60601, or equivalent safety standards.

The safety of recharging batteries with the USB connector only is determined by the external
equipment. When the USB connector is connected to mains-operated equipment, this equip­ment should be UL-approved or comply with IEC-60065, IEC-60950, IEC-60601 or other equiva­lent safety standards.

Explosives

There is a risk that the battery could explode and cause serious injury. Never expose the
Ponto Streamer to extreme heat by putting it in the oven, microwave, burning it, or leaving it
inside a parked car in the sun.

12

Warnings

Choking hazards

The Ponto Streamer is not a toy and therefore should be kept out of the reach of children and
anyone else who might swallow parts or otherwise cause injury to themselves. Special atten­tion should be paid to the smaller components in order to prevent children from swallowing
them and choking.

If a part is swallowed, see a doctor immediately.

Interference and implantable devices

The Ponto Streamer is designed to comply with the most stringent standards of international
electromagnetic compatibility. However, the Ponto Streamer may cause interference with
other medical devices such as defibrillators and pacemakers.

• Please contact the manufacturer of your implantable device for information about the risk
of disturbance.

• Immediately remove the Ponto Streamer if interference is suspected. Do not use the Ponto
Streamer and seek advice.

Interference can also be caused by power line disturbances, airport metal detectors, electro­magnetic fields from other medical devices, radio signals and electrostatic discharges.

13

Warnings

Use of the neck loop

If by accident the neck loop should get caught on something while the user is wearing it, the
neck loop is constructed to break automatically. Therefore, never try to shorten or modify the
neck loop in an unauthorized way. The neck loop should not be used for children who weigh
less than 11 kg.

Use in cars

Using the Ponto Streamer with a cell phone while driving can distract you. If driving condi­tions, or traffic laws, demand it, pull off the road and park before making and answering calls.

Use on aircraft

The Ponto Streamer should not be used on board aircraft, unless specifically permitted by the
flight personnel.

14

Warnings

Battery replacement

Do not attempt to open the battery compartment, as it may damage the battery.
The service guarantee is void if there are signs of tampering.

Cell phone compatibility

Please refer to www.oticonmedical.com/connectline for a list of cell phones that have been
comprehensively tested by Oticon, and have been found to fulfil the minimum requirements
for ConnectLine compatibility at the time of testing. However, Oticon Medical takes no respon­sibility for such compatibility in general. Specifically, Oticon Medical shall not be responsible
for incompatibility resulting from future updates of the cell phones, nor from events of incom­patibility not covered by and/or found in these tests. Oticon Medical takes no financial
responsibility in terms of reimbursements of cell phones that do not work as expected. Before
purchasing a new cell phone, you are advised to consult the list mentioned above.

16

Basic functions – first-time use

Open or linked Ponto Streamer

The Ponto Streamer can be either open, or linked specifically to your Ponto Plus sound pro­cessor. If it is open it can be used with all Ponto Plus sound processors, whereas if your hear­ing care professional has linked your Ponto Streamer and sound processor, then the Ponto
Streamer is locked to your own Ponto Plus sound processor only.

You should be aware that if your Ponto Streamer is open and you are within a distance of
approximately 1 meter of another person’s Ponto Plus sound processor, then this sound pro­cessor can also be operated by your Ponto Streamer. This other person can possibly also lis­ten to your TV sound, cell phone sound, etc., depending on what you are listening to at that
time.

If you want to link the Ponto Streamer, so it only works with your sound processor, please con­tact your hearing care professional.

17

Wearing the Ponto Streamer with the neck loop

The neck loop is an integral part of the Ponto Streamer’s electronic system. It is used as an
antenna to transmit sound to the sound processor.

For the best possible sound and longest possible streaming time, the Ponto Streamer should
always be worn with one of the included neck loops. It comes with two neck loops, a long one
and a medium one.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Please use the neck loop carefully. To avoid strangulation, the neck loop will automatically
release if it gets caught in something. Do not shorten or modify the neck loop in any way,
such as tie a knot to shorten the length. If a neck loop breaks, it cannot be repaired and
must be replaced immediately. Consult your hearing care professional for a replacement.

18

Inserting the neck loop

The neck loop snaps into the holes on the top of the
Ponto Streamer.

Note that when talking to somebody through
the Ponto Streamer, it is important that your voice can
be picked up by the built-in microphone on the top.

Using the Ponto Streamer without the neck loop

The Ponto Streamer can also be used without the neck loop, e.g. with the optional belt clip.
The distance to the sound processor should then be less than one meter. You may experience
drop-outs in sound, which is why we recommend using the neck loop. If the Ponto Streamer is
used without the neck loop, then the Ponto Streamer functionalities depend upon whether the
Ponto Streamer is open or linked; see the table below.
