sities, at the workplace and in their free time. Design and characteristics of the 2015
are ideally suited to the needs of the users. Operation is simple and easy to learn. The units are small, lightweight and unobtrusive when worn.

Mikroport® System
The operating principle of the 2015 Mikroport® System
The speaker, for example the teacher, wears the SK 2015 transmitter. The person with hearing problems,
the pupil in this case, wears the EK 2015 receiver. The receiver can be equipped either with a connecting
cable for a hearing aid or with headphones. Without wires and with full freedom of movement, the pupil
can now hear the teacher as if he were sitting right next to him. For the time in which the teacher is speaking, ambient noise is reduced markedly, so that the dialog between teacher and pupil has priority at all
times. When the teacher is not speaking, the pupil can hear his fellow pupils either via the microphones in
the hearing aid or via the internal microphone in the receiver. The 2015
assistance, even in difficult listening situations. The transmitting power is sufficient for relatively large distances. The MKE 2015-2 clip-on microphone ensures a high degree of intelligibility as well as the possibility
to lip-read at the same time. The highest degree of intelligibility is ensured by the ME 2015-H headset
microphone (optional accessory). Due to the position close to the mouth, loud background noise and bad
acoustics are faded out. The wide range of accessories allows the receiver to be connected to almost any
hearing aid; it can be coupled to the latter either electrically or inductively.
Transmitter and receiver are powered via the BA 2015 battery pack. The operating time of the battery pack
is sufficient for a normal working day (up to 12 hours). The charging contacts on transmitter and receiver
allow the units to be charged in the L 2015 charger without the necessity of removing the battery pack.
If power supply is not available for recharging the battery pack, you can alternatively use 1.5 V AA size batteries. When powered by batteries, transmitter and receiver can also be used for up to 12 hours.
Additional audio sources (e.g. CD player, television, sound card of a computer) can be connected to the
3.5 mm jack socket of the transmitter.
Especially for integrative schools, there is the advantage that you can combine the 2015 Mikroport® System with the Soundfield EMP 2015 System. In addition, transmitters and receivers of the evolution wireless
series can be used together with the 2015 Mikroport® System. For details, please visit our web site at

Preparing the units for use
Transmitter and receiver have been adapted by your technical expert to suit
your individual applications.
Transporting the transmitter and receiver
In addition to the EZB 2015 system case offering room to store all components of the system, delivery also includes a transport case. This is suitable
for the day-to-day transport of a transmitter and a receiver and of two
replacement battery packs.
Push the transmitter and the receiver into the transport holding device as
shown on the left. The units fit snugly in the case preventing damage during transport. It is possible to store the battery packs in the front pocket of
the transport case, as well as in the transport holding device.
Inserting the battery pack/batteries (transmitter and receiver)
For powering the units, we recommend using the supplied BA 2015 battery
pack. The battery pack can be recharged in the L 2015 charger while
remaining in the transmitter or receiver (see operating manual of the
charger). If no power supply is available for recharging the battery pack,
you can alternatively use 1.5 V AA size batteries.
Press the two unlocking buttons and open the battery compartment
cover
.
Insert the battery pack or the batteries as shown on the left. Please
observe correct polarity when inserting the battery pack or the batteries.
Close the battery compartment. The battery compartment cover locks
into place with an audible click.
67
How to properly use the battery pack or the batteries
For battery pack operation, only use the BA 2015 battery pack in order to
ensure optimum operational reliability. Batteries and rechargeable battery
cells have different discharging curves. Transmitter and receiver are able to
identify the BA 2015 battery pack and to use it to full capacity. They also
adapt the battery status display according to the type of power supply used
(batteries or battery pack). Individual rechargeable battery cells will not be
identified as battery packs.
After use (e.g. during the night), charge the BA 2015 battery pack of
the transmitter or receiver in the L 2015 charger. The maximum charging time is 2.5 hours, at which time the unit then switches to trickle
charging.
If you do not use the transmitter or receiver for extended periods of
time (e.g. while you are on holiday), remove the battery pack or the
batteries. After three months at the latest, the battery packs will need
a refresh charge in the L 2015 charger. This prevents damage to the
battery pack due to self-discharge.
Connecting sound sources to the transmitter
Connecting the microphones to the transmitter
In addition to the supplied MKE 2015-2 clip-on microphone, a plug-on
microphone (MKE 2015-0) and a headset microphone (ME 2015-H) are
available as optional accessories. DC powering of these condenser microphones is via the microphone input.
Connect the 2.5 mm jack plug of the microphone or the microphone
cable to the transmitter’s 2.5 mm jack socket (MIC)
Via the operating menu, adjust the sensitivity of the microphone input
(see “Adjusting the microphone sensitivity“ on page 82).

Attaching and positioning the microphones
MKE 2015-2
MKE 2015-0
ME 2015-H
The MKE 2015-2 clip-on microphone (supplied) and the MKE 2015-0 plugon microphone (optional accessory) are omni-directional and pick up sound
equally from all directions. They are the best choice if movements of the
speaker’s head have to be compensated for. However, they should be
attached as close as possible to the sound source.
Use the microphone clip
clothing (e.g. tie, lapel) at a maximum distance of 9.8 inches from your
mouth.
When using the MKE 2015-0 plug-on microphone, wear the transmitter
around your neck using the EZG 2015 pouch with neck strap. Adjust the
length of the neck strap so that the distance between the microphone and
your mouth is 9.8 inches at the most.
You can use the MKE 2015-0 plug-on microphone to transmit the speech of
several persons at a time with only one transmitter. Put the transmitter
with the plug-on microphone on the table in front of the speaker. The person speaking should keep a distance of approx. 9.8 inches to the microphone.
The ME 2015-H headset microphone (optional accessory) has a super-cardioid pick-up pattern.
Adjust the ME 2015-H headset microphone so that a comfortable and
secure fit is ensured.
Position the microphone of the headset at the corner of your mouth.
Make sure that the sound inlet is directed towards your mouth. The
sound inlet is marked with a little dot.

Connecting audio sources to the transmitter
You can connect audio sources such as a CD player, a television, or the sound
card of a computer to the line input of the transmitter.
Connect the 3.5 mm jack plug of the connecting cable to the transmitter’s 3.5 mm jack socket (LINE)
Via the operating menu, adjust the sensitivity of the line input (see
“Adjusting the sensitivity of the line input“ on page 82).
Note:
If the transmitter is preset so that the line input is switched off, the display for line level is not shown on the display panel.

Attaching the transmitter or receiver to clothing
Attaching the transmitter or receiver to clothing using the belt clip
Using the supplied belt clip, you can attach the transmitter or receiver to
clothing (e.g. belt, waistband).
The belt clip is detachable so that you can also attach the transmitter or
receiver with the antenna pointing downwards. To do so, attach the clip as
follows:
Remove the belt clip from its fixing points by pushing in the direction
of the arrows.
Rotate the belt clip by 180°.
Insert the belt clip into its fixing points.
Wearing the transmitter or receiver around your neck
Using the EZG 2015 pouch, you can wear the transmitter or receiver around
your neck.
Insert the transmitter or receiver into the pouch.
