2.2 Installation
2.2.1 Installation advice
2.2.2 In-rack mounting
The given theoretical range of the transmitter is from 15 to 40 m. Ideally, it should be positioned at the centre of the
area to be covered. In view of the transmission frequency (2.4 Ghz), absorption by the human body is substantial and
the transmitter needs to be positioned high up to ensure a better range.
One or two transmitters can be mounted in a 19’’ rack; the single mounting accessories are provided.

Wall mounting
The transmitter must be positioned vertically, with the antenna connector at the top and the antenna remaining
horizontal. The mounting frame is provided.
2.2.3 Starting up
Connect the power supply;
Connect an audio source to the XLR connector or the mini-jack socket; if both are connected, the signal on the
mini-jack socket has priority;
Push the ‘on’ button;
Check that the audio signal modulates normally on the monitoring LEDs.

2.2.4 Connect a Roger Earpiece
Place a Roger Earpiece less than 10 cm from the antenna;
Push the Connect button;
The LED should light up in green for 2 seconds.
N.B.:
Only one earpiece can be connected at a time. Once connected a new earpiece can be added to the network.
An unlimited number of earpieces can be connected.
The earpiece remains connected even after a battery change.
After connect, check the volume in the earpiece and set it with the potentiometer of the transmitter.
The volume setting can be altered in a range from -14 dB to +12 dB in steps of 2 dB.
All the earpieces connected with the transmitter will be affected by the volume setting.
To set the volume individually on each earpiece, use the Roger Touchscreen Mic (see below).
To disconnect the BaseStation from all the connected earpieces, push the NewNet button on the back for more
than 7 seconds; the corresponding LED will light up in green for 2 seconds.

3 Roger Earpiece
3.1 Description
3.2 Battery – Important note
1 Battery compartment
2 Removal handle
3 Wax guard - Anti-cerumen filter
The Roger Earpiece uses a zinc-air battery that offers the
best performance in a reduced size. This battery uses the
ambient air to activate the chemical process and generate
electricity. The adhesive label closes the air inlet aperture
in the battery.
Once this label has been removed, it is necessary to wait
for about 2 minutes for the battery to reach its maximum
capacity.
It can then be installed in the earpiece.
Once the door of the battery compartment has been
opened, remove the battery protective foil and insert
the battery with the + side facing towards you, with the
door to the right. The earpiece is switched on by closing
the compartment.
It is recommended to open the battery compartment
door to switch off the earpiece when it is not in use; the
battery will nevertheless continue to discharge, even
the foil is put back.
The best performance is guaranteed with an original
Phonak battery.

3.5 Special functions
3.5.1 Input signal detection
3.5.2 Leaving the coverage area
If the BaseStation detects no incoming audio signal for more than 5 seconds, the earpiece volume will be reduced by
6 dB. It will return to the previous volume as soon as the audio signal is detected again.
If the earpiece falls out of range, it will emit a soft beep repeatedly.
If the earpiece leaves the coverage area for less than 30 minutes, when it returns to the area it reconnects automatically
with no audible beep.
The earpiece goes into standby mode after 30 minutes.
In standby mode, the earpiece searches for a signal from a known network. As soon as this network is detected, the
earpiece exits the standby mode in a few seconds. A beep is then audible.

5 Roger Repeater
5.1 Description
The Roger Repeater makes it possible to extend the coverage of the Roger BaseStation transmitter. Several repeaters
can either be linked up or mounted in a star configuration in relation to the BaseStation.
Due to better reception, the range between the BaseStation and a repeater or between two repeaters will be from
50 m to 70 m. The range to an earpiece is from 15 to 40 m.
5.2 Utilization
To Connect a repeater to the BaseStation, proceed as for an earpiece by pushing the Connect button on the BaseStation,
with the repeater at a maximum distance of 10 cm.
