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 SoundGate transmits to both simultaneously. Using the SoundGate with your hearing instru-
ments 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 a television equipped with a Bluetooth transmitter Remote control of volume and program changes in your hearing instruments Wireless communication with a land-line telephone equipped with a Bluetooth phone adapter. 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 The SoundGate contains a rechargeable battery. Before you can use your SoundGate the battery must be fully charged. Charging the battery The SoundGate should be charged every night to ensure battery life for several hours of operation the next day. There are three 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 a USB port on your computer. 10 3. When using the SoundGate in a vehicle, you may connect the USB charging cable to a commercially available 12V car USB adapter. 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 a mobile phone Listening to music/audio with a wired connection Stand-by with Bluetooth on Battery life up to 5 hours up to 6 hours up to 50 hours Turning off the Bluetooth will result in prolonged battery life. Important notice The rechargeable battery should not be drained completely. Keeping the battery fully charged will prolong its life. You cannot replace the battery yourself. Return the unit to your hearing care pro-
fessional 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. Always wear the neck strap antenna. SoundGate Instrument range 13 SoundGate to hearing instruments: 0.5 meter
(20 inches) range. When the SoundGate is used as a remote control only or is on standby (ready for incoming phone calls) 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. The Bluetooth range is reduced by objects be-
tween the SoundGate and the mobile phone. The range also depends on the quality of the antenna of the other device. ................... 15 Wearing options For phone calls or audio streaming, always use the neck strap with the SoundGate. This strap has a built-in antenna to ensure an uninterrupted wireless connection. Hands free with the 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:
waiting for mobile phone calls In the pocket Purpose:
remote control and stand-by 17 Important notice For safety reasons and 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 replacement. Clip-on accessory A neck strap for wearing the SoundGate hands-free is included. The clip is attached by pressing onto the back of the unit, aligning the two points of attachment. Use a finger nail to remove or replace 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
(4 12 inches) from your mouth in order to ensure optimum sound quality for the person you are talking to. 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 remains 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 SoundGate marked with the padlock symbol. Unlocked Locked 20 The SoundGate can still accept a call from a 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 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 The SoundGate uses audio streaming to connect your hearing instruments to a mobile phone or to other audio sources such as computers and MP3 players. Bluetooth Bluetooth is the wireless application that con-
nects external wireless audio sources to the SoundGate. Bluetooth is 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.) Long press
(2 sec.) A short press will turn the Bluetooth funtion. ON, The rim light around the button will light for a few seconds. A long press will switch the Bluetooth function OFF. 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. The SoundGate needs to be paired only once with each Bluetooth enabled device. 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 Stored pairings 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 Press the Bluetooth key for at least 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, SoundGate 1.4 will appear in the device display. 26 Enter pin code The SoundGate pin 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.) 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 SoundGate 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. 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. If the Bluetooth connection is lost during a phone call, the phone will hang up or transfer the call from the SoundGate to the mobile 28 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 like a wireless Bluetooth headset. If you have two hearing instruments you will hear phone conversations in both ears. In noisy environments it may be necessary to position the SoundGate closer to your mouth. Answer incoming phone calls Bluetooth function must be active
(Bluetooth key light fading slowly). 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. Speak into the microphone of the SoundGate (optimal distance is 30 cm / 12 inches). When talking 30 When in a call, a long press on the phone key transfers the control back to the mobile phone. A sub-
sequent long press returns control back to the SoundGate. Such call transfers usually have to be acklowledged/accepted on the mobile phone. Hanging up the phone When you wish to end the call, press the phone key shortly. The green light will turn off. Make a call Use your mobile phone to make a call as you normally would. When the call goes through, talk into the SoundGate microphone do not press the phone key. 31 Adjust volume Use the key volume/program key. Press up or down until the volume in the hearing instruments is comfortable. Turn hear-
ing instru-
ment micro-
phones ON/OFF Optional Press the volume/program key up or down for 2 seconds. When the hearing instrument microphones are ON, both the streamed audio and the environ-
mental sounds can be heard. When not using the SoundGate for several hours, consider turning Bluetooth off (press 2 seconds). This will help to maximize the life of the rechargeable battery. Recharge the SoundGate when it is no longer in use. 32 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. 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 tones or keyboard lock tone 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 tones 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 tones on your mobile phone. 33 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 of your hearing instruments. Always use the neck strap antenna. Audio streaming can be activated inde-
pendently of the program you have selected in your hearing instruments. 34 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. 35 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 only stream one of them. Manual switching between two Bluetooth sources is made by a long press of the music/audio key. Alternatively, one Bluetooth device can be turned off or moved out of range from the SoundGate before the second device is turned on or moved inside the range. 36 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 rim 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. A long press on the music/audio key allows you to switch back and forth between two different Bluetooth sound sources. Stop the music/
audio Press the music/audio key. The orange rim around the key will turn off. 37 Optional When the SoundGate will not be in use for several hours, consider turning the Bluetooth off (press 2 seconds). This will help maximize the life of the rechargeable battery. Recharge the SoundGate when not in use anymore. 38 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!
39 Use as a remote control The SoundGate can be used as a remote control with the hearing instruments to operate the volume up and down and to switch backwards and for-
wards in the program cycle. A short press adjusts the volume level up or down in the hearing instruments. If you have 2 hearing instruments, the volume is adjusted in both instruments simultaneously. Press and hold up or down for 2 seconds to go forwards or back-
wards in the listening program cycle. Note: this is only possible if the hearing instruments are configured for multiple listening programs. During audio streaming, it is not possible to shift to another program.

It should be regularly wiped with a dry or slightly damp cloth. The microphone opening and the connectors for audio input and charging must be kept free of dirt or debris. The dedicated cleaning brush for your hearing instruments can be used to clean these areas. The SoundGate and the neck strap must never be washed or immersed into water or other liquids. Do not drop the SoundGate, especially onto hard surfaces. The SoundGate is sealed and cannot be opened. If problems occur which cannot be solved by follow-
ing the guidelines in the trouble shooting section, you should consult your hearing care professional. 46 Your SoundGate must never be exposed to ex-
treme heat e.g. left inside a parked car in the sun. Avoid exposing the SoundGate to moisture e.g. steam baths, showers or heavy rain. Do not dry the SoundGate in a microwave or any other oven. Do not use cleaning chemicals or alcohol on the SoundGate. 47 Troubleshooting Pairing My SoundGate will not enter Bluetooth pairing mode My phone is not finding the SoundGate Problem The SoundGate key lock is activated. The SoundGate is out of power. The SoundGate is outside the range of your phone. The SoundGate is already connected to other Bluetooth devices that are active and within its range. 48 Solution Deactivate the key lock located on top of the SoundGate. When the slider reveals a GREEN label, the keys can be operated. Recharge the battery. Move the two devices closer together and re-attempt pairing. Make sure that all other nearby Bluetooth devices that have previously been paired to the SoundGate are turned OFF before you repeat the pairing process. 49 Pairing Pairing was unsuccessful Problem The SoundGate is not in the pairing mode when your phone is trying to pair with it. The wrong passcode was entered. 50 Solution The SoundGates pairing mode is active for 120 seconds. If the pairing is not completed within this time, repeat the pairing process again. Repeat the pairing process and ensure that you enter the passcode: 0000 (four zeroes) into your phone. 51 Problem The Bluetooth is off in the phone and/or in the SoundGate. The phone and SoundGate are disconnected from each other. Phone The phone key does not blink when the phone is ringing and there is no ringing indica-
tion in the hearing instruments The SoundGate is not paired to the mobile phone. 52 Solution Ensure that the Bluetooth is ON in the phone please refer to your phones user guide. Ensure Bluetooth is ON in the SoundGate. If the Bluetooth key light does not fade in and out, it is OFF. Press the Bluetooth key light for 2 to 3 seconds to turn the Bluetooth ON. Reconnection can be accomplished in three ways:
1) Turn SoundGates Bluetooth OFF, then ON. 2) Turn off your phone or SoundGates Blue tooth. Reconnection is now accom-
plished by turning on your phone first and then your SoundGates Bluetooth. 3) From the phones Bluetooth menu select the SoundGate as the active device. Follow the pairing process described on page 25. 53 Problem The SoundGate is out of power. The Bluetooth connection between the SoundGate and your phone is unsteady. The SoundGate is out of range. Phone The phone key does not blink when the phone is ringing and there is no ringing indica-
tion in the hearing instruments The phone key is blinking when the phone is ringing but I hear no ring indication in the hearing instruments The audio in the hearing instruments drops out The SoundGate is out of Bluetooth range. The neck strap antenna is not mounted to the SoundGate. The SoundGate is out of range. 54 Solution Recharge the battery. Bernafon cannot guarantee compatibility with every Bluetooth product on the market. If both products are Bluetooth certified, the likelihood that they will communicate is high but some incompatibilities may still exist. Make sure that the SoundGate is kept within 50 cm (20 inches) of the hearing instruments. For optimum performance always use the neck strap antenna. Make sure that the SoundGate is kept within 10 m (30 feet) of the phone. This range is reduced significantly indoors with lots of obstacles (walls, furniture etc.) and it is also phone dependent. Wear the SoundGate with the neck strap to prevent drop outs. 55 Phone The other party has difficulties hearing me on the phone Problem The SoundGates microphone does not pick up your voice clearly. Environmental sounds disturb speech understanding. You may be pressing the phone key too long when you are answering a call. The call will be rejected. The key press tones feature may be activated in your phone. I have difficulties hearing the other party on the phone in noisy environ-
ments The phone call does not go through when the phone key is pressed I hear multiple beeps in my hearing instru-men-
ts while operating my phone 56 Solution Talk straight into the microphone. Be careful not to let the SoundGate rub against clothes or other material during calls. Turn the hearing instrument microphones off by pressing the volume/program key up or down for 2 to 3 seconds. Be careful not to turn off the hearing instruments microphones in traffic!
To accept a call make a short press (less than 1 second). Deactivate the key press tones on your phone. 57 Wired audio No audio in the hearing instruments Problem Audio source needs to be turned ON. Volume is too low/high Volume needs to be adjusted on the audio source. 58 Solution Turn hearing instrument microphones off by pressing the volume/program key up or down for 2 to 3 seconds. Be careful not to turn off the hearing instruments microphones in traffic!
Adjust the volume on the audio source to a level that suits you when using the SoundGate. 59 Charging SoundGate does not work even while charging Volume When I press a key on the SoundGate, nothing happens When I turn the microphones off, the volume changes Problem The battery is drained completely. Problem The keys are locked to prevent accidental button activation. The volume changes to the default level. 60 Solution The SoundGate needs to charge for at least 20 minutes before it can operate. 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. 61 International warranty The Bernafon SoundGate has a limited warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship. 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. 62 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, electro-
magnetic 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 a remote control operated from a trouser pocket or purse. 63 The safety of using the SoundGate with the auxiliary input cable is determined by the external signal source. Connect only to mains-operated equipment 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. 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 @ 10 m. 64 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 SoundGate complies with international stan-
dards concerning electromagnetic compatibility. 65 Information to the user regarding the radio communication part of the device Bernafon AG SoundGate 1.4 FCC ID IC:
