Introduction

At Widex, our overall mission is to give people
with a hearing loss the same opportunities for
communication as people with normal hearing. A
Widex hearing aid, combined with the MicroLink,
goes a long way towards achieving this goal by
ensuring optimal listening comfort and speech
understanding. In difficult listening situations, in
particular, the MicroLink gives people with a
hearing loss new possibilities.

In order to get the full benefit of your MicroLink
FM system, please read these instructions care
fully. They contain a description of all parts of the
system as well as a section on maintenance and
troubleshooting.

-

3

TheMicroLink system isbasedon technology that
makes it possible to manufacture an FM radio
receiver so tiny that it can be connected to a hear
ing aid. The receiver’s power consumption is very
low, so it can be powered by the hearing aid’s own
battery.

The MicroLink FM system effectively overcomes
the three fundamental obstacles to optimum com
munication: distance, noise and echo and – espe
cially – the combination of these factors. The
system is completely cordless and therefore very
easy to use.

Now you can concentrate on the message behind
what is being said, rather than using your energy

-

-

-

on trying to make out the words. Practically
speaking,with your MicroLinkyour ears areright
next to the FM transmitter. This creates an opti
mum listening situation with maximum signal
strength and a minimum of noise and echo.

-

4

If used and cared for properly, your MicroLink
system – used in combination with your Widex
hearing aid – will give you many pleasurable lis
tening opportunities. The MicroLink system is a
precision instrument that can be damaged if
knocked or bumped. Therefore it should be hand
led with care and we recommend that you keep it
in the leather case when you do not use it.

The FM system and how it works

An FM system is a radio system in which signals
are sent via radio waves from the transmitter to
the receiver. “FM” stands for Frequency Modula
tion,atechnical term fortheway radio signalsare
generated. FM transmission ensures advanced
reception quality, free of noise and distortion.

The MicroLink FM system consists of two basic
components:

A microphone with an FM transmitter to pick

•

up the sound source. The transmitter sends
radio signals to one or more receivers.

An FM receiver which is connected to the

•

hearing aid.

-

6

The MicroLink FM system from Widex is avail

­able in two versions – with a HandyMic transmit
ter or with a MicroVox transmitter. Both versions
use the MicroLink receiver. Transmission power
is very low and involves no physiological side
effects.The maximum operatingrangeis about 15
meters (45 feet).

The MicroLink receiver

How the MicroLink receiver works

The MicroLink is the FM receiver that receives
radio signals from either the HandyMic or
MicroVox transmitter. The MicroLink can only be
used on the frequency / channel number forwhich
it was produced and which is identified by the
channel number and colour code.

The MicroLink Europlug fits all behind-the-ear
hearing aids that have an FM shoe with Europlug
connection. An FM shoe is available for all LOGO,
SENSOandotherdigitalinstrumentsfromWidex.
The FM signal is received by a small built-in
antenna. The radio signal is transformed to a sig
nal which is amplified in the hearing aid in the
same manner as thehearing aid’s own microphone
signal.Thereforeno special (re)fittingofyour hear
ing aid is needed.

Attaching and removing the MicroLink

Attaching the MicroLink
to your hearing aid is a

two-step process. Firstly,
the MicroLink is con

nected to the FM shoe,
which, in turn, is con

nected to the hearing aid.
Place the MicroLink on

the FM shoe. Insert the
short, thick pin of the

MicroLink plug into the
corresponding hole in the

FM shoe. Push the
MicroLink plug into the

shoe until a “click” is felt.

The shoe with the MicroLink receiver is then con

-

-

­nectedtothe hearing aid. Please check thesection

on “Audio input” in the user’s instructions for
your hearing aid for information on how to attach

and remove the audio shoe.

10

Note: Please remember to exchange the solid
cover for the perforated cover on the side of the
hearing aid.

Reverse the procedure to remove the MicroLink.

11

Operating the MicroLink receiver

The switch on the receiver can be set to three dif
ferent functions:

a. In position

m the receiver is switched off and

does not consume battery power. Only the
hearing aid’s own microphone is active. It is
therefore not necessary to remove the
MicroLinkfromyourhearingaid when not us
ing the FM system.

b. In position

l only FM is received (the hearing

aid’s microphone is dampened by 20 dB).

c. In position

ll both FM and the signals from

the hearing aid’s microphone are received.

-

-

Please remember to also switch on the transmit
ter (MicroVox or HandyMic).

The hearing aid’sM– MT – T switch modes will
retain their original functions when the
MicroLink is connected. This will result in a num
ber of possibilities as shown in the overview.

The HandyMic transmitter

How the HandyMic works

The HandyMic is a low power radio transmitter
with a built-in multidirectional microphone sys
tem. The transmitter sends signals from the
microphone to the MicroLink receiver. Please
note that the transmitter and the receiver must
be on the same channel/frequency.

The HandyMic can be used as a hand-held micro
phonewithout the externalantenna.The distance
to the MicroLink receiver should normally not
exceed 1.5 meters (4.5 feet). At this range the
HandyMic’s stand serves adequately as an
antenna. If the HandyMic’s operating range is
between 1.5 metres (4.5 feet) and 15 meters (50
feet), for example at a lecture, you must use the

-

-

accompanying external antenna.

14

The integrated multidirectional microphone can
be adjusted to pick up signals in three different
modes:

1. The omnidirectional microphone picks up

sound signals from all directions.

2. The directional microphone primarily picks

up sound signals from an angle of 45° in front
of the microphone.

3. The super-directional microphone primarily

picks up sound signals from an angle of 20° in
front of the microphone.

Select the required mode on the microphone
switch depending on the distance to the speaker,
and the surrounding noise. This switch also
serves as the on/off switch.

Remember to switch off the transmitter when you
do not use it.

15

The HandyMic can also be connected directly to
the headphone outlet of your radio or TV by
meansof the accompanyingaudiocord. Thetrans
mitter is automatically switched on even when it
is in the off position when there are incoming
audio signals. The audio cord then also functions
as an antenna.

A built-in rechargeable battery powers the
HandyMic. A fully charged battery will last
approximately one day. It can be recharged every
night with the battery charger.

Microphone switch modes

Omnidirectional setting

The omnidirectional setting is ideal
for situations with some noise or
disturbance when you want to lis
ten to the people around you. At
small meetings, for example, the

HandyMic can be placed on the
table in a central position relative to the people
present.

Directional setting

The directional setting can be used

in situations when several people

are speaking at the same time. The

directionalmode is idealinsuch sit

uations since the microphone can

rounding conversation and ambient noise are
thus subdued.

be pointed towards the person with

-

20

Super-directional

To further enhance the directional

mode to a specific person, switch to

super-directional mode. Only

speech and sounds that come pre

cisely from the direction in which

the microphone is pointing will be
amplified. Ambient noise and speech are signifi
cantly suppressed.

-

-

21

Instructions for use of the HandyMic

The HandyMic can be used for different listening
situations:

1. Speaking with another person face to face.

2. Speaking with several people at the same

time.

3. Attending a lecture or a class.

4. Listening to the radio or TV directly through

the audio output or having a telephone con
versation (a telephone connecting cord can be
acquired from a supplier of assistive listening
devices).

-

22

1. The companion technique

This technique is
used when you carry
on a conversation in
the street, in a car,
on a bus, etc. Here,

your companion can
either hold the HandyMic in his or her hand, slip
it into a shirt pocket or wear it on the accompany
ing neckcord. Speech will be transmitted directly
to the MicroLink receiver on the hearing aid. The
external antenna should always be utilised when
another person has the HandyMic.

-

23

The antenna can be connected in two positions
(see figs.). Always keep the antenna cord untan
gled.

-

24

2. The interview technique

Thistechniqueis ideal fordifficultlistening situa
tions when you wish to listen to different speak
ers. This is done by pointing the HandyMic
towards the person you want to hear – just as a
news reporter would.

When you use the
interview technique,
irrelevant talk and
noise are effectively
suppressed by setting
the HandyMic in the
directional or super­directional mode.

-

-

Inquietsurroundings, choose the omnidirectional
mode and place the HandyMic in a central posi
tion (relative to the people you want to listen to).
The external antenna is probably not needed
when you use the interview technique as the
range between the MicroLink receiver and the
HandyMic does not exceed 1.5 m (4.5 feet). As a
rule of thumb, the microphone stand antenna is
sufficient when you hold the HandyMic in your
hand or place it within anarm’s length from your
self.

-

-

25

3. The lecture technique

This technique is
used when you
want to hear a lec
turer, a teacher,
or another person
as distinctly as if
you were standing
beside him. The
lecturer should

either have the
HandyMic in the neckcord or wear it in front of
him. Select a microphone mode according to the
situation. For example, if the speaker is standing
still with the HandyMic placed on a table in front
ofhim– choose thedirectionalmode. The external

-

antenna should be connected to the HandyMic in
such situations.

26

4. The audio-visual technique

With the accompanying
audio cord, the HandyMic
can be connected directly to
your TV, radio, telephone or
other audio-visual equip
ment such as a compact disc

player, cassette player, or a
loudspeaker installation provided the equipment
is fitted with a socket for a headphone jack (3.5
mm jack).

This allows you to get an optimum signal directly
from the TV, for example, without having to turn
up the volume. On some TV models, the loud
speaker is turned off when the audio cord is used.
Alternatively, the HandyMic can be connected to
the video recorder by a suitable lead. If necessary,
your radio/TV dealer can modify your TV so the

-

-

sound is not turned off when the audio cord is
used.

27

When transmitting audio-input signals, the
HandyMic should be switched off. It is automati
cally switched on when a signal isreceivedvia the
audio cord. It is automatically switched off when
no signal has been received for 50 seconds. We
recommend that you recharge your HandyMic
when using radio, TV or similar equipment.

-

28

The audio cord that comes with the HandyMic fits
most standard headphone sockets. If the audio
cord jack does not fit your audio-visual equip
ment,anadapter jack can be purchased fromyour
hearing healthcare professional. When connected
to the HandyMic, the audio cord also serves as an
antenna.

-

29

Recharging the HandyMic

The HandyMic has a rechargeable NiMH (Nickel
Metal Hydride) battery. This is the most environ
mentally safe battery available. It does not con
tain heavy metals and has a high capacity and a
long life. A fully charged battery willlast approxi
mately 13 hours. A red light indicator (BAT)
flashes when the battery needs recharging.

-

-

-

30

1. Plug the charger into the charger socket.

2. Connect the charger to the mains.

3. A continuous red light on the HandyMic indi

cates that the unit is being recharged.

4. Recharging a drained battery takes approxi

mately13 hours. Removethecharger cordand
the HandyMic is ready for use.

Please note:

The battery cannot be overcharged.

•

The HandyMic can be recharged while in use

•

with radio, TV or similar equipment.
We recommend that you replace the battery

•

when it can no longer be recharged to a full

-

-

day’s capacity. Please contact your hearing
healthcare professional.

The MicroVox Transmitter

How the MicroVox works

The MicroVox is a low­power radio transmitter
primarily intended for
educational environments.
The teacher wears it on a
belt with a connected
microphone clipped on to
his or her clothes. The
transmitter sends micro
phone signals to the

MicroLink receiver which
must be working on the same channel number as
the transmitter.

A1.5 V batterytype AA powersthe MicroVox. You
can use an ordinary alkaline battery or a
rechargeable battery. An alkaline battery comes
as standard. It has an operating time of approxi
mately 33 hours. A small light indicator starts
flashing when the battery is running low.

Remember to switch off the transmitter when you

-

-

do not use it.

32

The MicroVox can be connected to the headphone
socket of a radio or TV by an audio cord. Audio
connection can be established in two ways; you
can use the socket for the microphone or you can
use an alternative audio input with a socket for a

2.5 mm jack plug.
Note: When connected to the microphone socket,

the audio cord also serves as an antenna. The
MicroVox will only function properly with this
antenna connection.

the thickness of the pins – the plug can only be in
serted one way. Use only an original Widex micro
phone.

Important: The microphone connecting cord also
serves as an antenna. In order to function proper
ly there must be no loops or knots in the cord.

The clip-on microphone is a standard item that
should be attached externally to clothing 15-20
cm (6-8 inches) under the speaker’s mouth.

The battery

a. b.

The MicroVox is supplied with a 1.5 V alkaline
battery size AA as standard. To place the battery
in its compartment, slide away the cover under
neath the MicroVox. The cover has a smaller
detachable panel available in two types:

a. A charge panel for rechargeable batteries
b. A solid panel for ordinary batteries

-

39

The MicroVox comes with the panel for ordinary
batteries. A charger with a rechargeable battery
can be provided on request. In this case, the
charge panel that comes with the charger must be
used.

Please note: You have to remove the charge panel
to remove the battery.

40

Inserting the battery

a. Open the battery compartment by sliding the

cover in the direction of the arrow.

b. Insert a new battery. A mark inside the com

partment shows the correct battery position.

Warning:Never leave batteries where young chil
dren or pets can reach them. If swallowed, seek
medical advice at once.

How to switch on the MicroVox

Off

On

Switch on the MicroVox by pushing the on/off
switch downwards until a red mark is visible. If
the “Low Bat.” flashes, the battery requires re
placement or recharging.

-

42

Connecting audio-visuals

The MicroVox has two connection alternatives.
Thesocketfor connecting the microphonecanalso
be used to connect TVs and radios. In both cases
the cord works as an antenna for the transmitter.
The audio cord is optional and can be ordered
from your hearing healthcare professional. A cord
with a 2.5 mm jack is necessary for the other
audio socket. The socket is intended for use when
signals from both the microphone and the
audio-visual equipment are required.

Note: There must always be a cord connected to
the three pin socket, as it also functions as the
antenna.

43

Getting Started

Using the HandyMic may at first require an extra
effort because in doing so, you are showing every
one that you have a hearing loss. Try to ignore
this. Explain your situation.It may be a good idea
to practise on your family or friends. Everyone
will probably accept speaking into a microphone
when they hear that it gives you the possibility of
following a conversation on terms equal to – or
perhaps even better than – people with normal
hearing. So, never hesitate to ask someone to
carry and talk into the microphone.

Operating Range

Whether you use the HandyMic or the MicroVox

-

transmitter, the MicroLink system has an operat
ing range of 7-15 meters (20-50 feet) in a normal
meeting room, classroom, dining or living room
when the external antenna is used. Without the
external antenna connected to the HandyMic, the
microphone stand serves as an antenna. But in
this case, the operating range is limited to a maxi
mum of 1.5 meters (4.5 feet).

-

-

44

The range of the MicroLink system depends pri

­marilyonthe circumstances forradiowavepropa
gation (building construction, metal walls,
doorways etc.). The operating range is greatest in
open country and least inside steel buildings. Sig
nal fall-out with increased noise may occur in the
vicinity of the maximum range. Disturbances
from other kinds of transmitting equipment may
also affect reception.

Reception quality is also dependent on the condi
tion of the transmitter’s battery. When the bat
tery indicator light flashes, the HandyMic or
MicroVox will still function for some time, but at
reduced intensity.

-

45

Maintenance

The maintenance advice applying to hearing aids
also applies to the MicroLink FM system. Below
youwillfindtips that we recommend you to follow
to allow your FM system to function optimally.

Daily maintenance

It is a good idea to check daily that everything is
functioning normally.

1. Listen to the hearing aid alone.

2. Listen to the hearing aid and the MicroLink

with FM+M switched on and the transmitter
switched off.

3. Listen to the MicroLinkwith both FM andthe

transmitter switched on.

4. Listen to the MicroLink with both FM+M and

the transmitter switched on.

5. Remove any dirt from the MicroLink, hearing

aid, and earmoulds with a cloth or tissue.

46

The MicroLink receiver

Your hearing aid’s power consumption varies
depending on whether the MicroLink receiver is
turned off or on and therefore it is not easy to
know when the battery will run out. Make sure
you have one or more batteries in reserve at all
times.Change the batteryinyour hearingaidreg
ularly, and when you suspect that it is running
low.

If the battery is low, the MicroLink receiver will
stop functioning before the alarm on your hearing
aid startstobeep.Ifyourhearingaiddoesnotfea
ture a battery alarm, it will still function some
time after FM reception has been cut off.

HandyMic and
MicroVox with rechargeable battery

If your transmitter has a rechargeable battery, it
is a good idea to charge it daily. If the transmitter

-

-

is not in use for a period of time, store it with a
fully recharged battery.

47

MicroVox with an ordinary battery

If your transmitter uses an ordinary battery, it is
a good idea to change it regularly. With an alka
line battery, the unit’s capacity is approx. 30
hours. When the battery is running low, the “low
battery” light flashes as a signal for you to change
the battery. It can, however, be functional for
some time, but do not wait until the battery is
completely dead. The signal quality received con
tinually deteriorates as the battery’s power is
reduced.

Periodic maintenance

It is a good idea to have your MicroLink system
checked periodically, for example every six

-

-

months, by a professional.

48

Troubleshooting

Do not despair if your MicroLink system is not
functioningproperly.You can probablysolvemost
problems that may arise yourself. Below you will
findsomehelpful tips for generaltroubleshooting.
In order to identify the defect, listen to your
MicroLink system as recommended in the section
on daily maintenance.
