USER GUIDE

Airlink 2

Welcome

Congratulations on your Airlink 2 which will allow you to connect and fit wireless hearing instruments,

without the use of an intermediate device, using easy plug and play functionality. Carefully read this user

guide to fully benefit from the Airlink 2.

Ask your local hearing instrument manufacturer if you have any questions.

Do not attempt to use Airlink 2 together with any other fitting software unless explicitly instructed.

Airlink 2 can co-exist with other hearing instrument programming interfaces (e.g. Speedlink, Hi-PRO,

NOAHlink) on the same PC.

For your safety, carefully read the chapter Important Information.

Getting started - Installation

Airlink 2 is a USB plug and play programming interface enabling you to wireless fit hearing Instruments

from ReSound, Beltone and Interton.

1) Before you connect Airlink 2 make sure that you have the appropriate fitting software installed. The

Airlink 2 driver is installed during fitting software installation.

•Airlink 2 is supported by ReSound Aventa 3.6 (or later).

•Airlink 2 is supported by Beltone Solus Pro 1.6 (or later).

•Airlink 2 is supported by Interton Appraise 2.2 (or later).

2) After successful fitting software installation attach Airlink 2 to any USB port on the PC using the supplied

USB cable.

Note: To ensure the best possible operation of the Airlink 2 always make sure it is placed out in the open

with a clear line-of-sight between the Airlink 2 and the hearing instruments to be fitted.

3) Performing a wireless fitting can sometimes be challenged due to number of factors related to

equipment setup, and the physical layout of the fitting environment.

• Place Airlink 2 on the table with a clear line of sight to the hearing instruments, which should be within a

range of 10 feet (3 meters).

• Avoid placing the Airlink 2 in a USB hub with other USB devices (e.g. Bluetooth dongle), as this can

decrease the efficiency of the Airlink 2.

• When fitting hearing instruments inside a sound booth place the Airlink 2 inside or close to the booth.

• It is recommended not to use USB cables between the Airlink 2 and the PC exceeding a length of 10 feet

(3 meters).

4) You are now ready to start fitting wireless ReSound, Beltone and Interton products using ReSound

Aventa, Beltone Solus Pro and Interton Appraise.

Tips for optimal wireless fitting

Let the battery breathe/oxygenize before inserting

When performing a wireless fitting, always use new batteries. The most common type of hearing

instrument batteries are zinc-air. These types of batteries are activated by the oxygen in the air. By

removing the small sticker from the battery, oxygen activates the battery. Because oxygen must pass

through fine holes and a filter, the oxygen is absorbed slowly.

Therefore, it is important to wait 2 full minutes after removing the battery sticker and before inserting the

battery and closing the battery door on the hearing instrument. If inserted prematurely, the battery may

not absorb enough oxygen to properly power the hearing instrument.

Always open/close the battery door to connect

When connecting the hearing instruments to the fitting software make sure to always bring the hearing

instruments into “Fitting mode” by rebooting them. This is done by opening and closing the battery door of

the hearing instrument one time.

By doing so it is possible for the fitting software to discover and communicate with the hearing instruments.

Note: If a hearing instrument is accidently put into flight mode where all wireless operation is disabled, just

open and close the battery door again. After 10 seconds wireless operation is resumed. Keep the battery

door closed for an additional 15 seconds after wireless operation has been resumes before opening and

closing the battery door again. Opening and closing the battery door within 15 seconds will put the hearing

instrument into flight mode again.

After having completed the fitting make sure to open and close the battery door to reboot the instruments

saving all settings.

Optimize the wireless fitting environment

Even if all of the above mentioned tips are followed, the stability of the fitting connections may be

impacted by interference from other wireless sources in the environment. Interference may cause data

transfer issues, slow connectivity or loss of connections to the hearing instruments entirely.

Interference in the wireless fitting environment should, therefore, be minimized or avoided if possible by

following the guidelines below:

• Minimize number of interfering wireless sources.

Wireless activity from sources like WLAN, mobile phones and streamers should be minimized as much as

possible. Even though the wireless protocol technology supports three audio streaming devices it is

recommended to have no more than one streaming device (e.g. TV streamer or Mini Microphone) active

while performing wireless fitting.

• Keep interfering wireless sources away from the fitting area

If interfering devices such as WLAN and streamers cannot be turned off during wireless fitting it is

recommended to place these devices a minimum of 6 feet (2 meters) away from the hearing instruments

and the Airlink 2, ensuring that they are not between the Airlink 2 and the hearing instruments.

Compatibility

Airlink 2 supports the following operating systems: Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.

• Airlink 2 is compatible with ReSound Aventa 3.6 (or later). Airlink 2 works with all ReSound’s wireless (WL)

hearing instrument models.

• Airlink 2 is compatible with Beltone Solus Pro 1.6 (or later). Airlink works with all Beltone’s wireless (WL)

hearing instrument models.

• Airlink 2 is compatible with Interton Appraise 2.2 (or later). Airlink works with all Interton’s wireless (WL)
