Frequently asked questions to

Oticon ConnectClip

1. Pairing

Question Answer

How many devices can

ConnectClip be paired to?

ConnectClip can be paired to up to 8 Bluetooth devices.

What happens when a 9th

Bluetooth device is paired to

ConnectClip?

The least used device is overwritten/replaced.

How many hearing aids can

ConnectClip be paired to?

ConnectClip can be paired to either one hearing aid (monaural

fitting) or a set of two hearing aids (binaural fitting).

What type of Bluetooth is

ConnectClip compatible with?

ConnectClip is compatible with most phones with Bluetooth

2.1 or later.

Which computers can be used

with ConnectClip?

We recommend using a BTD 800 USB Bluetooth dongle with

computers for a more stable connection. ConnectClip may also

work with computers directly via Bluetooth, but we do not

guarantee it and we are unable to support problems with

this setup.

Does ConnectClip work with

Oticon TV Adapters or Phone

Adapter 2.0?

No. ConnectClip does not work with Oticon TV Adapters,

Phone Adapter or Phone Adapter 2.0.

What sequence do I need to

follow to pair a set of hearing

aids to ConnectClip?

We recommend pairing the hearing aids with ConnectClip first.

Then pair ConnectClip with other devices such as mobile

phone. See Instructions for Use (IFU) booklet for further

details.

ConnectClip is paired with two

hearing aids but sound is only

coming from one hearing aid

when using ConnectClip.

What should I do?

Check batteries in hearing aids. Pair ConnectClip and hearing

aids again (as per IFU booklet). Make sure that hearing aids are

placed right next to ConnectClip (less than 8 inches apart). It is

a good idea to switch off Bluetooth in the mobile phone during

this process.

If one set of hearing aids is

already paired to ConnectClip,

how can I pair a second set?

Only one set of hearing aids can be paired to ConnectClip at a

time (either a monaural hearing aid or a binaural pair of

hearing aids). To pair another set of hearing aids to

ConnectClip, repeat ConnectClip/hearing aid pairing process as

described in the IFU.

ConnectClip

Can my client delete Bluetooth

device pairings (e.g. mobile

phone)?

Yes. To delete Bluetooth pairings using ConnectClip, your

client can press and hold the multi-button, volume up and

volume down buttons for 10 seconds to clear all

Bluetooth pairings.

Can I delete the pairing between

ConnectClip and the hearing aid?

Yes, in the ‘Save & Exit’ screen in Genie 2 | 2017.2.

If instruments and ConnectClip need to be paired again,

it must be done with the ConnectClip (outside

Genie 2 session).

Can ConnectClip be used with

other smartphones such as

Windows phones?

ConnectClip is compatible with most mobile phones that

contain Bluetooth 2.1 or higher.

Is the pairing between

ConnectClip and hearing aids

restored following a Firmware

update on Opn™hearing aids?

Yes, this pairing is restored automatically in Genie 2 | 2017.2.

Does performing a Firmware

upgrade of Opn hearing aids

erase ConnectClip and

Bluetooth pairings?

No, performing a Firmware upgrade of Opn hearing aids

does not erase Bluetooth and ConnectClip pairings.

How do you know if hearing aids

have been paired with a

ConnectClip?

A successful connection between ConnectClip and a set of

hearing aids is indicated by a solid yellow status LED light.

ConnectClip

2. Daily use

Can ConnectClip be placed on a

table to use among a group of

friends?

Yes, this is possible but it is not the intended or recommended

use. ConnectClip is optimized for 1-to-1 use, so the

effectiveness of table placement will depend on the

environment, competing noise and where the other speakers

are located.

How close does the microphone

need to be to a speaker’s mouth?

We recommend wearing ConnectClip as shown in the

Instructions for Use (IFU) booklet, ideally 8-10 inches from,

and pointing towards the speaker’s mouth.

Is it possible to select if the

hearing aid microphones can be

on or off for certain modes?

In Genie 2 it is possible to adjust the level of the hearing aid

microphones relative to the streamed signal (e.g. remote

microphone) in the Accessories panel.

While streaming music, what

happens if the volume is changed

on ConnectClip?

The volume control buttons on ConnectClip will adjust both

the hearing aid mic level and streamed signal level in the

hearing aid simultaneously.

accessed using the pushbutton

on the hearing aid?

Yes, the remote microphone program is added automatically

to the hearing aid program cycle when it is paired with

ConnectClip. Remote microphone mode can be accessed by

pushing the program button on the hearing aid, or by pressing

the multi-button on ConnectClip for 3 seconds

(Status LED: Magenta).

What happens if the hearing aid

microphones are muted while

ConnectClip is in remote

microphone mode?

Your client will only hear the audio stream from ConnectClip.

Does the lanyard have

adjustable lengths?

The lanyard for ConnectClip is not adjustable, but it comes

with two fixed length options.

Is it possible to change hearing

aid programs with ConnectClip?

Yes, ConnectClip doubles as a remote control for the hearing

aids when it is not streaming sound. The ConnectClip allows

for control of hearing aid volume up or down, program change,

and muting the hearing aid mics. Please refer to the IFU for

signal from the remote microphone. The hearing aids will

return to their initial program (P1) and the ConnectClip status

indicator will change to steady Yellow or Blue.

connected/paired to several

Bluetooth devices?

several Bluetooth devices, how can

you choose between them?

off Bluetooth in the devices you do not want to be connected with.

Can calls be received when using

ConnectClip as a remote

microphone?

No, calls cannot be received when ConnectClip is in remote

microphone mode because in that mode, the connection between

ConnectClip and the phone is closed. However, calls will still be

allowed to come in directly on a smartphone — iPhone or Android —

that has been paired with ConnectClip.

ConnectClip

Can calls be received from the same

smartphone when streaming music

through ConnectClip?

Yes, calls can be received from a smartphone paired to ConnectClip

that is streaming music. In this case, the call will override the music,

and the end-user has the option to answer the call or reject it and

continue streaming audio.

on their smartphone and choose to

not stream calls through

ConnectClip?

To do this select audio route on the smartphone. How this is done will

vary based on the phone manufacturer.

while the user is streaming music to

ConnectClip from another device?

will interrupt the music streaming from ConnectClip (Made for iPhone

(MFI) connection has priority when listening to music).

Can the volume of a streamed

signal in remote microphone mode

be changed?
