The SoundGate uses Bluetooth to connect to electronic media and is compatible with most Bluetooth-enabled sound sources. If you wear two hearing instruments, the Sound-
Gate transmits to both simultaneously. Using SoundGate with your hearing instruments gives you the following possibilities:
Hands-free mobile phone conversation Sound or music from radio, computer, MP3 player, etc. connected with an audio cable to the SoundGate Wireless sound reception from television equipped with a Bluetooth transmitter Remote control of volume and program changes in your hearing instruments 8 SoundGate overview Volume control and program change Phone Music connection e.g. MP3 Bluetooth music/audio Battery indicator Microphone Key lock Jack connector for audio input Mini USB connector for charging the battery 9 Getting started Before you can use your SoundGate for the first time, the battery must be fully charged. Charging the battery The SoundGate should be charged every night to ensure battery life for a full day of operation. There are two ways to charge the SoundGate:
1. Connect the charger unit to the mini USB connector on the SoundGate. Then plug the power cord into a wall socket. 2. Connect the USB charging cable to the mini USB con-
nector on the SoundGate. Connect the other end to the USB port of your computer. 10 Battery indicator The battery indicator shows a steady red light when the battery is low (about 20 minutes left). The battery indicator will start blinking when the battery is close to empty
(about 5 minutes left). Recharging the battery takes approxi-
mately 4 hours. When charging the battery, the indicator blinks green. When fully recharged, the battery indicator lights steady green. 11 Battery life The battery life of the SoundGate depends on the usage. The table shows the maximum time the fully-charged battery will run without recharging for different functions. Use Talking on mobile phone Listening to music/audio with wired connection Stand-by with Bluetooth on Stand-by with Bluetooth off Battery life*
5 hours 6 hours 70 hours 2 years Even though the SoundGate has no dedicated on/off button, turning off Bluetooth will result in prolonged battery life. Important notice The rechargeable battery should not be drained completely. Keeping the battery fully charged will prolong the life of the battery. You cannot replace the battery yourself. Return the unit to your hearing care professional for service, if necessary. 12 SoundGate wireless ranges SoundGate Instrument range The SoundGate has a digital wireless transmitter built in that automatically streams information to your hearing instruments. When the SoundGate is streaming audio, the range to the hearing instruments is approximately 0.5 meter (20 inches). The range could be reduced by metal objects and strong magnetic fields. Use of the neck strap is strongly recommended to achieve optimal performance. SoundGate Instrument range 13 SoundGate to hearing instruments: 0.5 meter
(20 inches) range. When the SoundGate is used for remote volume control only or stand-by
(ready for incoming phone call) the range is up to 1 meter (40 inches). 14 Bluetooth SoundGate range The SoundGate has a built-in Bluetooth receiver that can be manually turned on and off. Bluetooth is used to communicate and send audio signals from external sound and communication devices to the SoundGate. The wireless range from a mobile phone to the SoundGate is 10 meters (33 feet) in an open space. Bluetooth range is reduced by objects between the SoundGate and the mobile phone. The range also depends on the quality of the antenna of the other device. 15 Wearing options The best results are obtained by using the neck strap because it has an additional antenna built in to enhance sound quality. Hands free with neck strap Purpose: mobile phone, music, PC, stand-by, remote control etc. 16 Stand-by is when the SoundGate is not being actively used. In this situation the unit can be in your pocket and still allow you to receive phone calls. Hand held Purpose:
mobile phone In the pocket Purpose:
remote control stand-by 17 Important notice To prevent injury, the neck strap will automatically break if it gets caught in something. Do not modify the neck strap in any way, such as tying a knot to shorten the length. If a neck strap breaks, it cannot be repaired. Consult your hearing care professional for a replacement. Clip-on holders The following accessories are included:
neck strap for wearing the SoundGate hands-free pocket clip to attach the SoundGate to a pocket or belt Only one of the clips can be attached to the Sound-
Gate at a time. The clips are clicked on by pressing onto the back of the unit, aligning the two points of attachment. Use a finger nail to lift off the clip. 18 Microphone The microphone in the SoundGate is active only during a phone call. In all other situations the microphone is turned off. Microphone During phone communication, the SoundGate microphone must be placed 10 30 cm (412 inches) from the mouth in order to ensure good sound quality for the person at the other end of the line. 19 Operating the SoundGate The SoundGate can be kept in a pocket when not in use, still ready to receive a phone call. When outdoors, the microphone should be protected against the wind. The microphone is sensitive to mechanical noise
(handling, knocking and scratching). Make sure that the unit is held still during a phone conver-
sation. Key lock To prevent accidental key presses, the SoundGate can be locked. The key lock is not an ON/OFF function. The key lock slider is on top of the Sound-
Gate marked with the padlock symbol. Unlocked Locked 20 The SoundGate can still accept a call from the mobile phone when the keys are locked. (All keys will then be active until the call is ended.) If you try to operate the SoundGate while the keys are locked, the back light in the buttons will flash to indicate the locked mode. Keys functions Some of the SoundGate keys have multiple functions depending on the amount of time the keys is pressed. The duration of keys presses is defined as:
Key press definitions Short Long Very long Duration Less than 1 second Approx. 2 seconds More than 6 seconds 21 Audio streaming The SoundGate and a set of hearing instruments is a secure system. The hearing instrument(s) will only accept audio streaming from the SoundGate to which they are linked. Linking has been done by your hearing care professional. This ensures that other hearing instruments cannot intercept phone calls or audio from your SoundGate. Note: Audio streaming is one-way communication from the SoundGate to the hearing instruments. When audio streaming is stopped, the SoundGate instructs the hearing instruments to release the controls and resume normal operation. 22 Using SoundGate for audio streaming SoundGate uses audio streaming to connect your hearing instruments to a mobile phone or to other audio sources such as computers and MP3 play-
ers. Bluetooth Bluetooth is the wireless application that con-
nects external wireless audio sources to the SoundGate. Bluetooth is a global standard used in many electronic devices. To see whether an electronic device has a built-in Bluetooth function, look for the Bluetooth symbol:
23 Bluetooth key The Bluetooth function must always be turned ON when you expect to communicate with your Bluetooth devices. The Bluetooth key operates as follows:
Short press
(1 sec.) A short press will prompt the status of the Blue-
tooth function. If Blue-
tooth is ON, the rim light around the button will light for a few seconds. Long press
(2 sec.) This switches the Blue-
tooth function ON/
OFF. Bluetooth must be active to connect with the SoundGate. 24 Pairing to a Bluetooth device Before using the SoundGate with a Bluetooth mobile phone or other Bluetooth-enabled audio source, the SoundGate must be paired to the device. This means, a secure relationship is estab-
lished between the two units, enabling them to identify each other and communicate whenever they are turned on and within range of each other. You only have to make the pairing once and then the units will recognize each other. Pairing is done by putting both units (i.e. the SoundGate and the device) into pairing mode. Units within range will automatically search for and find each other. 25 Pairing steps:
Prepare Bluetooth device Refer to the manual of the mobile phone or audio device and prepare for Bluetooth as instructed. Set SoundGate into pairing mode SoundGate Bluetooth function must be OFF. Press the Bluetooth key for 7 seconds until the blue light flashes rapidly. Pairing mode is active for 120 sec-
onds. Pairing can be cancelled with a long press on the Bluetooth key. Activate pairing on the Bluetooth device Activate pairing on the device. The device will search for active Bluetooth sources and when it has found the SoundGate, the word SoundGate will appear in the device display. 26 Enter pin code The SoundGate code is 0000. Once entered, the device should be paired to the SoundGate. (The device may require that you manu-
ally activate the connection by selecting Connect in the display menu.) Stored pairings The SoundGate may be paired with up to 8 devices at the same time, however it can only stream one signal at a time. When the maximum is reached, the SoundGate will start to overwrite the oldest pairings. If you want to clear all stored pairings in the SoundGate, press and hold the Bluetooth key and the Volume up key at the same time for more than 10 seconds. 27 Connecting to Bluetooth devices Whenever the Bluetooth function in the Sound-
Gate or in the external audio source has been turned off, the devices must find and connect to each other again when turned on. Reconnection tip Normally, two paired Bluetooth devices will find each other when turned on. If the devices do not connect automatically, they must be connected manually. Always turn on your mobile phone before turning on the Bluetooth function in the SoundGate. To reconnect push the Bluetooth key twice. Refer to the manual of the mobile phone or audio source for detailed instruction on how the device connects and how connecting can be manually operated. Out of range handling of Bluetooth If the SoundGate is brought out of the Bluetooth range of the mobile phone, the connection will be momentarily lost. Normally, the devices will re-connect when they are inside the Bluetooth range again. The SoundGate indicates a lost Bluetooth connection by a short flash of the 28 blue rimmed light every 4 seconds. If the Blue-
tooth connection is lost during a phone call, the phone will hang up or transfer the call from the SoundGate to the mobile phone. If the Bluetooth connection to an audio/music player is lost while streaming, the audio streaming will stop and must be started again when the devices are inside their Bluetooth range again. 29 How to use with a mobile phone Your hearing instruments and the SoundGate work together similar to a wireless Bluetooth headset. If you have two hearing instruments you will hear phone conversations in both ears. In noisy environ-
ments it may be necessary to position the Sound-
Gate closer to your mouth. Answer incoming phone calls Bluetooth function must be active. When your mobile phone rings, the phone key will blink green. You will also hear a ringing tone in your instruments. Press the phone key on the SoundGate to answer the call. The phone key now lights steady green. When talking Talk into the microphone of the SoundGate (optimal distance is 30 cm/12 inches). 30 Hanging up the phone When you wish to end the call, press the phone key. The green light turns off. Make a call Use your mobile phone to make the call as you normally would. When the call goes through, talk into the SoundGate microphone do not press the phone key. To reduce background sounds Turn the hearing instrument microphones OFF by pressing the music/audio key for 2 seconds. Mobile phone issues After successful pairing, a symbol should appear in the mobile phone display, indicating that a headset is now connected to the phone and that the phone can only be used via the SoundGate and hearing instruments. 31 Different phones have different behavior when used with SoundGate. If a problem occurs in the connection between your mobile phone and the SoundGate, you should consult your mobile phone manual for detailed trouble shooting. Mobile phone sounds Some mobile phones will try to send their ringing tones, key-press beeps, keyboard locked beep, etc. to any connected headset over the Bluetooth connection. In mobile phone manuals, this is normally called In-band ringing. If the mobile phone is configured to stream key-
board beeps over the Bluetooth connection, the mobile phone will, when operated, interrupt any ongoing audio streaming and will force the hearing instruments to switch programs. It is strongly recommended to disable the key-press beeps on your mobile phone. 32 How to listen to music/audio The SoundGate provides a link between your hearing instruments and many different audio sources and allows you to use your hearing instruments as wireless headphones. There are two ways to connect an audio source through the SoundGate:
by wired input to the micro jack by a wireless Bluetooth connection Before streaming audio, you must place the SoundGate inside the wireless range. It is recommended to use the neck strap. Audio streaming can be activated independent of which program you have selected in your hearing instruments. 33 Connecting to wired audio input Use the audio cable and connect the larger plug end to the audio source you want to listen to and the smaller plug end to the SoundGate micro jack as shown. Linking to a Bluetooth audio source The Bluetooth function between the SoundGate and the audio source must be paired so the two devices can connect and work together. Please follow the pairing instructions on page 25. 34 To listen to a Bluetooth audio source First turn on the Bluetooth function of the SoundGate Then turn on the Bluetooth-enabled audio source The SoundGate and audio source must be inside their Bluetooth range Press the music/audio key to start streaming If more than one Bluetooth audio source is present e.g. two Bluetooth stereo devices, the SoundGate will connect to only one of them. One Bluetooth device must be turned off or moved out of range from the SoundGate before the second device is turned on or moved inside the range. 35 Music/audio key The table shows how to use the SoundGate for all types of audio streaming. Listening to music or audio Press the music/audio key. The orange ring around the key lights up and the music or audio starts. An incoming phone call will play the ringing tone along with the audio. A short press on the phone key will accept the phone call and override the audio streaming. Stop the music/
audio Press the music/audio key. The orange ring around the key turns off. 36 Turn hearing instrument micro-
phones ON/OFF Press the music/audio key for 2 seconds. When the hearing instrument microphones are ON, both the streamed audio and the environ-
mental sounds can be heard. Adjust volume Use the key volume up/down. Press up or down until the volume in the hearing instruments is comfortable. 37 Resetting the SoundGate If the SoundGate halts in a non-functional mode, it can be reset. To reset the SoundGate, press the phone key for 10 seconds. All rim lights will flash shortly to indicate that a reset has been made. Note that all pairings to external Bluetooth devices stored in the SoundGate will still remain!
38 Use as a remote control The SoundGate can be used as a remote control with the hearing instruments, operating the volume up and down and switching backwards and for-
wards in the program cycle. Adjust A short press adjusts the volume level up or down in the hearing instruments. If you have 2 hearing instruments, volume is adjusted in both at the same time. Change program Press and hold up or down for 2 seconds to go forwards or backwards in the program cycle. Note: This is only possible if the hearing instruments are configured for multiple programs. During audio streaming, it is not possible to shift to another program. 39 Visual indicators The following table is a quick summary of the light indicators on the SoundGate.

For optimal battery life avoid draining the battery completely Solution Deactivate the key lock located on top of the SoundGate. When the key lock slider reveals a GREEN label, the keys can be operated. This is by design 59 International warranty The Bernafon SoundGate has a limited warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship, for a period of 12 months from the date of delivery. This warranty covers the SoundGate itself, but not accessories such as charger units, cables, etc. This warranty becomes invalid if a defect is a result of misuse or maltreatment. This warranty is void if non-authorized personnel have repaired the SoundGate. Please review the warranty card with your hearing care professional and make sure that your warranty card is completed. 60 Warnings and safety guidelines SoundGate is not a toy and should be kept away from infants and small children. SoundGate should not be used in an aircraft unless specifically permitted by the flight personnel. SoundGate should not be operated in explosive environments such as mines. For safety reasons the neck strap should never be tied together or used for children weighing less than 11 kg/24 lbs. Interference can also be caused by power lines disturbances, airport metal detectors, electromag-
netic fields from medical devices, radio signals and electrostatic discharges. Although unlikely, the digital inductive signals tranmitted by the SoundGate could potentially interfere with medical devices such as pace-
makers. As a precaution, we advise pacemaker recipients not to carry and use the SoundGate in a breast pocket or around the neck. In this case we recommend its use as remote control operated from a trouser pocket or purse. 61 The safety of using SoundGate with auxiliary input cable is determined by the external signal source. Connect only to mains-operated equip-
ment in compliance with IEC-60065, IEC-60601 or equivalent safety standards. The safety of recharging batteries with the USB connector is determined by the external equip-
ment which should be UL approved or comply with equivalent safety requirements. Never expose SoundGate to excessive heat in ovens, microwaves, or by burning since it may explode and cause serious injury. Stop using SoundGate if you find it disruptive or distracting while operating any type of vehicle or performing any other activity that requires your full attention. 62 In addition to the Bluetooth transmitter, the SoundGate contains a radio transmitter using short range magnetic induction technology working at 3.84 MHz. The magnetic field strength of the trans-
mitter is < -15 dBA/m @ 10m. The emission power from the SoundGate is below international emission limits for Human Exposure. For comparison, the radiation of the SoundGate is less than unintended electromagnetic radiation from hair dryers, electric shavers etc. The Sound-
Gate complies with international standards con-
cerning electromagnetic compatibility. 63 Information to the user regarding the radio communication part of the device Bernafon AG VE 505 FCC ID IC:
