Getting Started
Charging inspiro

polymer battery with fast-charge capability. A fully-discharged
battery will charge to 80% in one hour and 100% in 2 hours.
Select an easily accessible
socket outlet and plug
the charging unit into the
socket outlet.
Connect the mini-USB plug
from the charging unit to the
inspiro.

for insprio.
The segments in the battery symbol flash during charging. The
battery cannot be over-charged.
If the charging unit is removed
from the inspiro, the segments
in the battery symbol show the
actual capacity.
If the battery is fully charged,
the battery symbol in the LCD

Low battery alarms
inspiro provides an automatic vibra alarm if the battery is low.
J Approximately 1 hour before battery is empty:
A vibrating alarm is activated. Check the message on the LCD
and follow the instructions.
J Approximately 15 minutes before battery is empty:
If inspiro has not been charged after the first alarm, the
second vibrating alarm is automatically activated before the
battery is completely exhausted. Check the message on the
LCD and follow the instructions. If the battery is not being
charged at that time, inspiro switches OFF automatically in
15 minutes.
If the battery is completely exhausted, there will be no segments
in the battery symbol and the battery symbol in the LCD will
change from white to red.

Monitoring
Monitoring is a simple and easy way to check the functionality of
FM receivers. We recommend monitoring receivers every day. By
pressing the Monitor soft key, the inspiro reads the information
from a child’s FM receivers (one or two FM receivers).
The procedure is as follows:
J Hold the inspiro close to the child, at a distance of approxi-
mately 20 cm / 8 inches from the receivers. Ensure that no
other receivers are within synchronisation range.
J Then press the left soft key Monitor at the top Menu level.
The inspiro then begins to search for receivers. Make sure you
are within synchronisation range until the receivers are shown
on the inspiro’s LCD display.
J The result of the Monitoring process will be displayed on the
inspiro’s LCD display. The completion of the Monitoring process is
marked with a beeping sound.
If the beeping sound cannot be heard in the hearing device,
the child’s hearing device is probably not in an FM program.
Contact your Hearing care professional on matters concerning
the right hearing instrument program for FM.
