6.2 General Operation

Some of the Streamer buttons have more functions depending on the listening situation and the duration of the press, i.e. how long a button is activated. Duration of button presses is defined as:

Key Press definitions

Duration

Short

Less than 1 second

Long

Approx. 2 seconds

Very long

More than 4 seconds

Note:

Audio streaming is one-way communication from the Streamer to the hearing instruments i.e. the Streamer has no information about the state of the hearing instruments. When audio streaming is stopped, the Streamer instructs the hearing instruments to release controls and resume normal operation.

If the hearing instruments for some reason during a streaming situation do no longer receive the audio information from the Streamer for a period of 5 seconds, the hearing instruments will themselves automatically return to normal operation.

The Streamer and a set of hearing instruments is a secure system. The hearing instrument(s) will only accept audio streaming from the Streamer to which they are linked. (Linking have been done by the Hearing Care Profes- sional). This ensures that other Epoq instruments cannot intercept phone calls or audio from your Streamer.
