Your new remote control
We hope you will be pleased with your Widex hearing
aid remote control. These user’s instructions explain
how your remote control should be operated and we
recommend that you read the entire booklet to get full
satisfaction from your new remote control.
The remote control gives simple access to hearing aid
functions for those who have difficulty operating the
controls of BTEs and ITEs, or for second parties (partners, healthcare workers and care-givers) who might be
responsible for hearing aid use.
The remote control is pre-programmed during your
fitting so it can function as best as possible in different
situations.

Your remote control is an accessory for your hearing
aid. You can easily operate your hearing aid without the
remote control; it is just an alternative way of operating
your hearing aid. The advantages of a Widex remote
control are:
• Unlike the buttons on your hearing aid when it is
placed in/on the ear, you can easily see the keys on
the remote control.
• The larger keys on the remote control are easier to
manipulate than the small buttons on the hearing aid.
• The remote control enables you to operate your
hearing aid discreetly, e.g. from your pocket or
handbag.
• You can adjust the volume and choose programs for
hearing aids without volume and program buttons.

Your remote control is a small computer that contains data
for different hearing aid settings. It also contains a radio
transmitter which sends messages to the hearing aid. The
remote control and hearing aid do not need to be in view
of each other. The operating range is approximately 1
metre.

1. Volume control. The [+] and [–] keys are used for
volume adjustment.
2. Program selection. The [1], [2] and [3] keys are used
for program selection. Your RC4-1 can operate a
maximum of three programs.
3. On function. The [1] key is used to turn on the remote
control. The [1] key also sets the remote control to the
initial setting: P1 V9.
4. Display. This shows the currently selected program
[P], volume [V] and the remote control’s battery level.
5. Transparent key guard with holes for the keys. With
the cover closed, the risk of accidental key-presses is
reduced. The key guard can be flipped open to make
the remote control easier to hold. The keys are then
higher and easier to feel.
6. Battery cover.

The battery
Battery type
The recommended battery type for your RC4-1 remote
control is:
Lithium CR 2032
Your RC4-1 uses two CR2032 batteries.
To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your
hearing care professional. Please note the expiry date
and the recommendations regarding disposal of used
batteries on the battery pack. The battery life will depend
on how much you use your remote control.
8
Inserting the batteries
The plus (+) sign on the batteries for your RC4-1 must
face upwards when placed in the battery compartment.
Changing the batteries
Always change both batteries at the same time.
When the battery is nearly exhausted, the
symbol will be continuously displayed. If the
symbol is only briefly displayed, you need not
change the batteries.

Switching the RC4-1 on
The RC4-1 remote control is switched on by pressing
the [1] key. By default, the remote control automatically
switches off after 30 seconds.
Your hearing care professional can help you select another
time-out setting, if required.
10
When the hearing aid is switched on, you will hear a
speech message or a tone to confirm that the remote
control is active.
The hearing aid is now set to the same program and at
the same volume level that was in use last time the remote
control was used.
