Th e 2 015 Syst em all ows the integration of people with hearing problem s in
schools and universities, at the workplace and in their free time. Design and
characteristics of the 2015 System are ideally suited to the needs of the
users. Operation is simple and easy to learn. The units are small, lightweight
an d un obtr usi ve w hen worn.
The operating principle of the 2015 System
The speaker, for example the teacher, wears the SK 2015 transmitter. The
pers on with hearing pr oblems, the pu pi l in thi s cas e, wear s the EK 2 015
receiver. The receiver can be equipped either with a connecting cable for a
hearing aid or with head phones . Without wires and with full freedom of
movement, th e pupil can now hear the teac her as if he were sitting ri gh t next
to him. For the tim e 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 a id or via the internal
microphone in the receiver. The 2015 System gives reliable assistance, even
in difficult listening situations. The transmitting power is sufficient for
relatively large distances. The MKE 2015-2 screw-on microphone ensures a
hig h d egree of intelligi bil ity. Lo ud bac kground noise an d bad acou stics are
faded out by the ME 2015-H neckband microphone (optional accessory). The
wide range of access ories allows the recei ver 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 accupack. The
operating time of the accupack is sufficient for a normal working day (up to
12 hours). The charging contacts on transmitter and rec eiver allow the units
to be charged in the L 2015 charger without the necessity of removing the
accupack.
If no mains supply is available for recharging the a ccupack, 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 aud io sou rces (e.g. CD player, television, so und card of a
computer) can be connected to the 3.5 mm jack socket of the transm itter.
Especially for integrative schools, there is the advantage that you can
combine the 2015 System with the Soundfield EMP 2015 System. In addition,
tran smi tters an d receivers of the ev olu tion wireless series can be used
together with the 2015 System. For details, please visit ou web site at

Inserting the accupack/batteries (transmitter and receiver)
For pow ering th e units, we r ec ommen d using the s uppli ed BA 2015 accupack.
The accupack can be recharged in the L 2015 charger w hile r emai ning in the
unit (see operating manual of the charger). I f no mains supply is ava ilable for
rechargi ng the accupack, you can alternativel y use 1.5 V A A size batteries.
Press the two unlocking buttons and open the battery compartment
cover .
Insert the accupack or the batteries as shown on the left. Please observe
correct polarity when inserting the accupack or the batteries.
Close the battery compartment. The battery compartment cover locks
into place with a n audible click.
Note:
y For accupack operation, only u se the BA 2015 accu pack in order to
ensure optimum operationa l reliability. Batteries and rechargeable
15
battery cells have different discharging curves. Transmitter and
receiver are able to identify the BA 2015 accupack and to use its
capacity to the full. They also adapt the battery status display
according to the type of p ower supply used (batteries or accupack).
Individual r echar geable battery c el ls w ill not be i denti fied as accupac ks.
y If you do not use the transmitter or receiver, remove the accu pack or
the batteries. After three months at the latest, the accupacks will need
a refresh charge in the L2015 charger.
If you do not use the transmitter or receiver for extended periods of
ti me (e.g. wh il e you are on h oli day), we r ecommend storing it in the
L 2 0 15 cha rger wh ich is connected to the m ains. This p revents dam age
to the acc upa ck due to to ta l disc harge .
Connecting the receiver to hearing aids

Attaching an d position in g t he microphon es
The MKE 2015-2 clip-on microphone and the MKE 2015-0 screw-on
microphone with omni-directional pick-up pattern pick up sound equally
from all directions. They are the best choice if movements of the speaker’s
head have to be compensa ted for. However , they shou ld be attached as clos e
as p ossi bl e to the sound so urce.
Use the microphone clip to attach the MKE 2015-2 clip-on microphone to
clothing (e.g. tie, lap el). Atta ch th e micro pho ne at a maximum di stanc e of
25 cm from your mouth.
When using the MKE 2015-0 screw-on microphone (optional accessory),
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 25 cm at the most.
The ME 2015-H neckband microphone has a s up er-cardioid pick-up pattern.
Adjust the ME 2015-H so that a comfortable and secure fit is ensured.
Position the microphone at the corner of your mouth.
Make s ure th at the sou nd inlet is d ir ected towar ds y our mouth. The sound
inlet is marked with a little dot.
