Instruction Manual
Safety Information | 25 24 | Safety Information
If you use other medical devices or wear implantable medical devices such as
defibrillators or pacemakers and are concerned that your Remote Mic + might cause
interference with your medical device, please contact your physician or the
manufacturer of your medical device for information about the risk of disturbance.
The Remote Mic + should not be used during an MRI procedure or in a hyperbaric
chamber. The Remote Mic + is not formally certified to operate in explosive
atmospheres such as may be found in coal mines or certain chemical factories.
Use on Aircrafts
The Remote Mic + should not be used on aircrafts unless specifically permitted by the
flight personnel.
International Use
The Remote Mic + is approved to operate at radio frequencies that are specific to your
country or region and might not be approved for use outside your country or region.
Be aware that operation during international travel may cause interference with other
electronic devices, or other electronic devices may cause interference with your
Remote Mic +.
Your Remote Mic + is designed to operate and be stored within the temperature
range of -10˚C (14˚F) to 45˚C (113˚F) and relative humidity range of 10%-95%.
We are required by regulations to provide the following warnings:
WARNING: Use of the Remote Mic + directly next to other electronic equipment
should be avoided because it could result in improper performance. If such use
is necessary, note as to whether your hearing aids and the other equipment are
operating normally.
WARNING: Use of accessories, components or replacement parts other than
those provided by the manufacturer of the Remote Mic + could result in increased
electromagnetic emissions and decreased electromagnetic immunity and could result
in degradation of performance.
WARNING: If Portable Radio Frequency communications equipment is
used closer than 30cm(12inches) from your Remote Mic +, degradation of the
performance of your hearing aid could result. If this occurs, move away from the
communications equipment.
Although the Remote Mic + is not formally certified (IP rated) for protection against
dust or water ingress, per IEC 60529, it has been tested to the IP 5X level. This means
that the Remote Mic + is protected from dust.
The battery in your Remote Mic + is not replaceable. Do not attempt to replace the
battery. The Remote Mic + does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Do not open
or modify it.
Do not connect the Remote Mic + to any devices not described in this manual. The
expected service life of the Remote Mic + is 3 years.
Wireless Technical Description
Starkey Hearing Technologies Remote Mic + operates in the 2.4- 2.4835 GHz band
with a maximum effective radiated power of 8 dBm with transmission modulation
type of 1M12FXD and 1.1 MHz bandwidth. The receiver section of the radio has a
bandwidth of 2 MHz.
The Remote Mic + has been tested to, and has passed, the following emissions and
immunity tests:
• IEC 60601-1-2 radiated and conducted emissions requirements for a Group 1
Class B device as stated in CISPR 11.
• Harmonic distortion and voltage fluctuations affecting the power input source
as stated in Table 2 of IEC 60601-1-2.
• RF radiated immunity at a field level of 10 V/m between 80 MHz and 2.7 GHz
as well as higher field levels from communications devices as stated in Table 9
of IEC 60601-1-2.
• Immunity to power frequency magnetic fields at a field level of 30 A/m.
• Immunity to ESD levels of +/- 8 kV conducted discharge and +/- 15 kV
air discharge.
• Immunity to electrical fast transients on the power input at a level of +/- 2 kV
at a 100 Hz repetition rate.
• Immunity to surges on the power input of +/- 1 kV line to line.
• Immunity to conducted disturbances induced by RF fields on the power input
as stated in Table 6 of IEC 60601-1-2.
• Immunity to voltage dips and interruptions on the power input as stated in
Table 6 of IEC 60601-1-2.
