Operation

Low Battery and Charging

If SurfLink Remote Microphone 2 is on and enters
a low battery condition, the LED slowly pulses red
and provides an audible indicator tone to a hearing
aid. The indicator tone is distinctly different from the
low battery indicator for a hearing aid, so there is no
confusion as to which is experiencing a low battery
condition. Once SurfLink Remote Microphone 2
enters a low battery condition, the indicator tone will
occur about every 5 minutes until SurfLink Remote
Microphone 2 automatically shuts down, or until a
power source is applied.

When SurfLink Remote Microphone 2 is attached to
a power source, charging automatically begins. While
SurfLink Remote Microphone 2 is off, the LED turns
solid green during charging and turns off when fully
charged. While SurfLink Remote Microphone 2 is on,
the LED prioritizes streaming by slowly pulsing blue,
but continues charging in the background.

Typical Charging Method

To charge the battery,
attach the microUSB end
of the charging cable to the
microUSB jack on SurfLink
Remote Microphone 2.

Attach the USB end of
the charging cable to a
female USB jack, such as
found on a plugged-in wall
power adapter, car charger
adapter or computer.

TIP – Charging SurfLink Remote Microphone 2 can
take longer while streaming audio. Charging will be
faster when the SurfLink Remote Microphone 2 is off.
