Pair EduMic with hearing aids See page 16or 18 Your EduMic Students hearing aids 6 About Start-up Handling Other modes Warnings More info 7 Introduction EduMic can stream to Oticon hearing aids with 2.4 GHz technology. The hearing aids receive the streamed sound in a dedicated EduMic program. Microphone mode When you turn EduMic on, a green LED will appear. This indicates the microphone mode is enabled. The EduMic microphone picks up your voice and streams the signal, using wireless 2.4 GHz technology, to any number of paired hearing aids. This way, each student will always have clear and consistent access to your voice - overcoming the negative effects of noise and reverberation in the classroom and the distance between you. Teacher with EduMic Up to 20 metres A wireless microphone can benefit children of all ages by providing direct access to a primary talker. Modes in EduMic EduMic offers four different modes of operation:
Microphone mode (20 m range) Jack mode (20 m range) FM mode (3 m range) Telecoil mode (3 m range) When a jack cable is connected, EduMic is in jack mode and streams audio input from external sound sources directly to the hearing aids. Streaming in microphone and jack mode is designed for one-to-many communication. When a universal (FM) receiver is plugged in, EduMic is in FM mode and streams the audio from another wireless classroom system. When telecoil mode is enabled, EduMic streams audio from a teleloop system. Streaming in FM and telecoil mode is designed for personal use either in the classroom (FM mode), or in the public arena (telecoil mode). When operated in Telecoil and DAI-
mode, drop-outs may occur. EduMic will reset and the chosen listening program will be resumed shortly.
