4 Welcome to U:set U:set is a manufacturing service software application designed to be used by authorized Unitron distributors and service centers for configuring and performing basic service functions on Hearing Aids and wireless accessories. Page 4

5 Installation Install U:set Your PC must meet the minimum requirements to successfully install U:set: Minimum Hardware: 1.5 GB of free disk space 2 GB of Memory (RAM) 1024 x 768 screen resolution, 16-bit color DVD drive Installation from a network drive location is not supported, but installation from a hard drive or Flash Memory Drive is possible as alternates. Supported Operating Systems: Windows 7, 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 8.1, 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 10, 32-bit and 64-bit Administrative permission is required during installation. Minimum Power Users permission is required to run the application. Supported Programming Devices: HI-PRO 2 - drivers need to be installed separately by the user HI-PRO USB - drivers need to be installed separately by the user NOAHlink - drivers need to be installed separately by the user icube II U:set does not support the old HI-PRO RS-232 (serial) programming interface. To Install U:set: Double-click on the "Setup.exe" icon to begin the installation. If you are installing U:set for the first time on your computer, the installation program will first install some pre-requisite software programs required for communication and database management. These include: Microsoft.Net (Mandatory) Microsoft Visual C runtime redistributable engine (Mandatory) Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Express LocalDB (Mandatory) After these software programs have been successfully installed, the U:set Setup wizard will open and guide you through the rest of the installation process. Because of requirements associated with the Microsoft Framework components needed for the U:set installation, you must have PC Administrator privileges to perform the installation. Page 5

6 Select Installation Language Select the language that you would like U:set to use. The graphic user interface, dialog messages and Work Order reports will be displayed and/or printed in the selected language. The number of languages supported by U:set depends on the specific release version. Additional language support will be added in future versions. It is possible to change the language at any time after installation. See the section Change the Language for information. Page 6

7 Enter Installation Information Enter your user name and organization / company name in the input boxes of the installation wizard. Enter the Installation Code provided to you by Unitron Technical Support. This code is required for security and authentication purposes during software setup. Typically the key is 8 characters long and is case-sensitive; so enter it exactly as provided. (Example: A1bC28eZ9Ut). Select your country or region from the list provided. Use the same country or region that you select with the U:fit or Unitron TrueFit fitting software installation. This insures that U:set will have the correct hearing instrument models and Private Label instruments available for service that are sold in your market. Page 7

8 Upgrade U:set To upgrade an older version of U:set with a newer version, follow the Installation wizard instructions just like a new installation. Upgrading U:set software does not delete the Work Order Database, so you will not lose previously entered instrument and customer data.

You will need to restart U:set for the changes to take effect. Page 11

12 Work Orders Understanding and Using Work Orders In order to use any of the U:set service functions, you must first create a work order for the device. A work order is simply a record that is created and saved in the U:set database that contains information about the instrument(s), including their model type, serial number, firmware version, options and customer fitting data. Create a new Work Order To create a new work order, be sure that the "Work Order" icon is highlighted in the lower panel of function buttons. Click on it once to select it. Type a work order number into the "Order Number" field in the top center of the U:set window. A work order number may contain any combination of numbers or letters, and can be up to 50 characters long. A work order number can be generated from your local company ERP system, or you can create your own number based on the patient name, date or other system that you prefer. Each work order number must be unique, and can contain a combination of letters, numbers and many standard character symbols from various languages. It cannot contain blank spaces, so to enter a name as a work order number use underscores or dashes, for example: LaCROIX_PIERRE. Work order type selection Optionally you can enter the patient s name or other identifying information into the "Patient" text box. The default work order type is "Repair" but you should select "New" when making new custom ITE instruments. Page 12

13 Search for Work Orders A valid work order is always required to enable U:set functions. Enter a work order number and click on the black arrow or press the Enter key to retrieve an existing work order from the database. You can search for a work order if you know the serial number of one of the instruments from the order, part of the order number or Patient name. Click on the binoculars icon (Search) and a window will open where you can select one of the following search parameters: Serial Number, Order number or Patient name. Type in all or part of the information that you are looking for. The "*" can be used as a wildcard character such as: "LAC*" or "*123". Enter a "*" to retrieve all records in the database (up to 1000 entries). Click "Find" and U:set will look for all matching work orders. Select the desired work order entry from the resulting list with the mouse and click "OK", or double-click the work order to automatically transfer the work order information to the main U:set window. Work order search dialog The hearing instrument(s) or accessories associated with the selected work order will be retrieved from the database and displayed in the U:set user interface. The instrument model type, graphic illustration, side and serial number are shown for reference. Page 13

14 Clear an Active Work Order The "binoculars" button next to the Order Number field will automatically change to a "clear order" button after a work order is loaded. Click the "Clear order" button to unload the active order and reset U:set to its initial "empty" state, ready for the next order. Work order data is not deleted when using the Clear button. You can also clear the active order by simply typing a new work order number into the Order Number field and pressing the Enter key. Change an Active Work Order It is possible to change the instrument information after a work order is loaded. This may be necessary if the incorrect model, side or serial number was entered by mistake, for example. Change the desired information and click on the multi-function control ring in the center of the screen to save the updated information to the database. Print an Active Work Order U:set provides a standard work order summary printout page that you can use for reference, service information or recordkeeping. See the section: Print a Work Order Report for information. Page 14

15 Add Notes to an Active Work Order Click the "Add Work Order Notes and Special Instructions" button to open a dialog box where you can type up to five lines of optional notes, service information or other details about this work order. Click OK to save the Information to the order, or Cancel to exit without saving any notations. Notes & Instructions Entry Dialog Box Work Orders containing Notes or Special Instructions will have a check mark that is shown in the Notes icon. Notes and Special Instruction information will be printed in the Work Order Summary Report. Page 15

16 Delete an Active Work Order After a work order is opened (loaded), it is possible to delete it completely from the database. Select the U:set menu: Actions / Delete Order. The currently open work order and all associated information will be permanently deleted from the work order database. Create an Instrument Repair Order To begin a standard hearing instrument repair, create a work order in U:set. The work order type will be "repair" as a default. Press "Enter" to create and save the work order into the database. The left and right instrument panels will become active (colored) and the multi-function control ring in the center of the screen will be enabled, and show a "Detection" graphic. The Multi-function Control Ring Multi-function Control Ring in different modes U:set features an innovative, context-sensitive control ring in the center of the user interface. The ring is divided into two sections, associated with the left ( blue), right (red) sides of the work order. Clicking on a section of the ring will perform one of several different read / write or save functions, depending on the context. Use the control ring to detect instruments, save their settings, install firmware, restore settings or save information to the database. The graphic within the center of the control ring will change to indicate which functional area you are in such as: Detect, Save, Upgrade Firmware, Set Options, Initialize AMM, etc. Page 16

17 Detect a Hearing Instrument Automatically With a single-click, U:set will automatically detect and identify the hearing instruments connected to the programming interface. Simply select the interface intended for use from the detection screen, connect one or two instruments and click on the ring. The software will attempt to read and identify the connected instrument(s). Detected instruments are identified and displayed graphically in the upper half of the U:set screen. The Instrument model and associated graphics will be shown for confirmation. If no instrument can be detected, verify the connection cables and try clicking the Detect button again. It is possible that some instruments may be damaged in a way that U:set cannot communicate with them, or not supported in certain markets. A U:set message will inform you if no instruments were detected or if they are not supported. After an instrument has been detected (or you can manually select them from the drop-down menus), one or more function buttons will become active in the lower panel of the display window. The buttons are context sensitive, meaning that only the buttons which can be used at a particular step are available. The buttons will also change to indicate a BTE/RIC or an ITE order type. Automatic hearing instrument detection is now supported for all wireless only hearing instruments for example T Moxi Now. Note: For detection warnings related to Flex or Flex:trial, see Flex section for more details. Page 17

18 Work Order / Instrument Mismatch If the work order information does not match the information from the detected device(s), U:set will display a mismatch summary dialog wizard, in either Monaural or Binaural format. From the mismatch summary screen, you can identify the differences between the work order and the detected instrument(s). For example, there may be differences in the instrument model type, serial numbers or left/right fitting side as programmed in the instrument. Depending on the situation, you may be able to resolve the mismatch directly from the Mismatch dialog window. You can choose to correct one or more of the possible mismatch conditions in a simple, fast and flexible way. Some examples are shown below: Example 1: Monaural Mismatch dialog showing differences in the Instrument Model, Serial Number and Fitting Side of the connected instrument vs. the Work Order information. The arrows indicate: you can copy the instrument model type to the Work Order; you can copy the side information from the Work Order to the device (limited by the physical programming connection); you can copy the serial number either from the work order or the instrument depending on which one is correct. Click Update to save the changes to the Work Order and/or Device. Page 18

19 Example 2: Monaural Mismatch dialog showing differences in the Instrument Model and Serial Number of the connected instrument vs. the Work Order information. In this example the Model Information has already been copied from the Instrument to the Work Order, as shown by the Check Mark. The Serial Number will be copied from the Instrument to the Work Order by clicking the right-facing arrow. Click Update to save the changes to the Work Order and/or Device. Page 19

20 Example 3: Binaural Mismatch dialog showing differences in the Instrument Model and Serial Number of the connected instruments vs. the Work Order information. Depending on the reason for the mismatch, the operator can click on the Right- or Left-Facing arrows to copy information from the instrument to the work order, or vice versa. It is also possible the operator can decide to correct only some of the mismatch items using this dialog wizard and correct other items directly in the Work Order. The Left Side instrument in this example is clearly not the correct one for this work order, and the best solution should be to connect the correct instrument to the Left side and re-detect it. Click Update to save the changes to the Work Order and/or Device. If you have connected the wrong instruments to the NOAHlink or HI-PRO interface by mistake, it is best to connect the correct instruments and re-detect them. If you have opened the wrong work order by mistake, it is best to enter the correct work order number, open the work order and redetect the connected instruments. If you have the correct work order and instruments but have made mistakes entering the serial number or other information, then you can correct them easily and quickly with the Mismatch dialog wizard. Page 20

21 Mute Button The Mute Button can be used to mute (silence) the connected hearing device to prevent it from squealing. The Mute Button is active after a hearing instrument has been detected on either one side or both sides. The Mute Button is available in Capture / Set, Options & Serial Numbers, Firmware Upgrade, Service AMM / SEM & Restore Settings work screens. The Mute Button is not available in the Work Order screen. Click on the left or right side mute button to toggle the mute on & off. The device is not muted The device is muted Please note after performing some work processes the instrument Mute will be automatically turned off. In such a case simply click the Mute Button again to mute the hearing instrument. Page 21

22 Create a New ITE Order Detect To initialize a custom ITE product, create a new work order in U:set. Select "new" as the work order type. Press "Enter" to save the work order in the database. The left and right instrument panels will become active (colored), and the multi-function control ring in the center of the screen will be enabled and show a "Detection" graphic. Connect the custom instrument(s) to the HI-PRO or NOAHlink interface. Click the left, right, or binaural section of the multi-function control ring in the center of the screen. U:set will attempt to read and identify the connected instrument(s). The "Instrument Model" panel will display the detected device type, for example "T Insera Pro W 13 Dir". The default standard shell style will appear below, in the "Style" section. You can change this style if necessary to match the actual instrument shell style, for example Mini Canal. If no instrument(s) can be detected, verify the connection cables and try clicking the Detect button again. Select To manually select the ITE instrument model, click the Left or Right instrument checkbox(es) in the instrument panel headers, depending if you want to work with a monaural or binaural order. Select "ITE" from the device selection menu. Use the "Instrument Model" dropdown menu to select the instrument family and model. The default standard shell style will appear below, in the "Style" section. Enter the instrument serial number(s). Click the corresponding left, right or binaural section of the multi-function control ring in the center of the screen to save the selection(s) to the work order database. You can now work with the other U:set functions to configure the new ITE instruments; create or change the device serial number, disable or enable hardware options such as telecoil and program switch, install or upgrade firmware, etc. Capture and Restore of user settings is not available with new ITEs because the factory default programs in a faceplate Kit do not contain customer fitting data. You can set the device to any one of the available Measurement Settings (under the Capture/Set function) for listening or acoustic testing if desired. Page 22

23 Enter and Save Coupling Codes for ITE devices with IntelliVent For some Unitron custom ITE instrument models, you can use U:set software to create a custom designed optimized vent (IntelliVent). These models are identified by having the "IntelliVent" option available after detection. See the section "Create or Change an IntelliVent Coupling Code" for more information. Select a Hearing Instrument Manually In case U:set cannot communicate with a defective hearing instrument, or if you want to create a new custom ITE instrument, you can manually select the desired make and model instead of detecting it. First create and save a work order number, and then click the checkbox in the upper left side of the colored instrument panel(s). Select the instrument type (ITE, BTE) and model from the drop-down menus. Type the instrument s serial number into the "Serial Number" field of the colored header bar. For ITE instruments you can also change the default shell style from the lower drop-down menu. Click on any of the rings of the multi-function control ring to save your selection to the database. Manual Instrument Selection with Drop-down Menus Page 23

24 Capture, Set and Restore Capture Instrument Settings After an instrument has been detected (or manually selected), save the information to the work order database by clicking once on the multi-function control ring. The Capture and Set function button will become available. Select the "Capture and Set" function button to access the Capture and Set work area. Select the checkbox "Capture User Settings" in the lower control panel and click the desired left, right or binaural section of the multi-function control ring in the center of the screen to read and save the instrument settings (fitting data) to the work order database. The software will display a timestamp to confirm successfully saving the data. Note: Capture of user settings can not be performed on Flex:trial instruments. See Flex section for more details. Page 24

25 Import User Settings from File In some cases it may not be possible to capture the settings from an instrument. For example if the instrument is defective, or it was lost and must be replaced with a new one. User settings can be imported from the U:fit or Unitron TrueFit fitting application if they were first exported and saved to a file. To import a previously saved hearing instrument settings file, first create or load a work order for the instrument(s) in U:set. Connect the device(s) to the programming interface and click the desired left, right or binaural section of the multi-function control ring to detect the instrument(s). Select the "Capture and Set" button and then click the item "Import User Settings from File" in the bottom part of the work panel. Click the yellow file icon, and browse to find the instrument's fitting file that you want to import. An exported U:fit file will have the extension ".fit" and an exported Unitron TrueFit file will have the extension ".export". Click on the left, right or binaural section of the multi-function control ring to begin importing the setting files to the work order. If the selected fitting file is not the correct type, or if it contains data for a different hearing instrument model or side from the one in the work order, U:set will not import the data, but will display an information message. After the files have been successfully imported, U:set will save them in the work order just like settings captured directly from the hearing instruments. You can write these settings into the hearing instruments by using the "Restore" function. Imported Hearing Instrument Settings Page 25

26 Set to Measurement Settings You can optionally program the hearing instrument to one of several standard defined programs that can be used for electroacoustic measurement, listening tests or troubleshooting. Click the "Set to Measurement Settings" checkbox from the Capture and Set work area. You can select this in combination with the Capture User Settings function, or separately Select one of the available measurement settings (e.g. Full On Gain) from the dropdown menu and click the desired left, right or binaural section of the multi-function control ring to program the instrument with the desired settings. The number and choice of measurement settings that are available are specific to each instrument model and instrument family. Measurement Settings Drop-down menu (instrument specific) When you select both "Capture User Settings and Set to Measurement Settings" checkboxes, U:set will first Capture the instrument user settings, save them to the database and then program the selected measurement settings in the instrument with a single click on the multi-function control ring. Page 26

27 Restore Instrument Settings Any time after you have Captured and saved the customer settings (fitting data) from an instrument, you can use the "Restore" function button, located in the lower right panel of the display window, to re-program the settings back into the device. Open the desired work order, connect and detect the corresponding hearing instrument(s) and click to select the "Restore" function button. Select the option "Restore from Captured User Settings" and click the desired left, right or binaural section of the multi-function control ring in the center of the screen to program the instrument with the customer s saved fitting data. A date and time stamp is shown under the Restore item as a reference to which saved data record will be written to the instrument. Restore Settings with Captured date and time stamp Select the option "Restore to Factory User Settings" and click on the multi-function control ring to program the connected instrument to default "factory" settings if desired, or if customer settings were not saved. In some cases it may not be possible to restore the customer s fitting data to the repaired instrument, for example if the firmware was significantly upgraded or if device options were changed that have an effect on the fitting. Page 27

28 Export User Settings to a File U:set allows you to save (export) user settings that you capture from a hearing instrument to a file that can be opened with the fitting software (U:fit or Unitron TrueFit). Open or create a new Work Order for the device whose settings you want to export. Click the Restore function button and then select the Export Captured User Settings to File radio button. This option is available only if you have previously Captured and saved the device user settings. Navigate to a file or folder location on your PC or external disk where you want to save the exported client file. The file is stored in a format compatible with the Unitron Hearing fitting software. Page 28

29 EarMatch for T Insera Custom Products EarMatch applies to T Insera custom products and is a digital process that is used to set and maintain instrument precision and accuracy. Precise EarMatch is calculated based on 1600 points taken from the scanned impression. EarMatch compares the impression of your client to the custom shape model to calibrate the EarMatch to the most precise, accurate configuration to ensure maximal signal to noise ratio. This is a next level of customization in optimizing EarMatch. There will be a message to indicate to the user that the EarMatch parameters need to be written upon detection. This message will only appear when: There is EarMatch information in the work order The detected device supports EarMatch The EarMatch parameters are different between the work order and the device. Click OK to Proceed, and select Options and Serial Numbers Page 29

30 Click on the correct side of the multi-function control ring to Update EarMatch parameters, in the above example, it is the right side that needs updating EarMatch parameters and EarMatch status is shown as (Update Required). U:set will give warning that user settings will be deleted. Click on Yes to proceed with update of EarMatch parameters. Page 30

31 Once the EarMatch parameters are updated, EarMatch status is shown as (Configured). EarMatch parameters will not be lost even if the hearing instrument is reset to factory settings. The programming stays the same. Page 31

32 Options, Serial Numbers and Intelli Vent Display or Change Instrument Options After an instrument has been detected (or manually selected), save the information to the work order database by clicking the multi-function control ring. The Options / Serial Number function button will become available. Select the "Options / Serial Number / Coupling Code" function button to show all available device configuration options and serial numbers. This section is divided into two Tabs for easy use: an Options tab and a Serial Number / Coupling Code tab. Click on the Options Tab. All model-specific available options such as "Volume Control" and "Easy-T" will be shown in black text. Active, enabled options for the connected instrument have a checked box. Inactive but possible options have an un-checked box. Options which are not applicable for the connected instrument will be shown as non-selectable gray text. To configure the options for a hearing instrument, simply check or un-check the associated boxes and Save your choices by clicking the multi-function control ring. Be careful to match the physical device hardware with the software options. For example, if the instrument has no telecoil, selecting the "Telecoil" hardware option is possible in U:set but will result in a fitting program that does not work properly for the customer. Page 32

33 Change Instrument Serial Number You can optionally change the Serial Number that is displayed by the fitting software but you cannot change the internal Unitron factory serial number. Click on the SN# Tab, and type the desired serial number into the Serial Number text box of the Options and Serial Number / Coupling Code work area. Save the new serial number to the instrument by clicking the multi-function control ring. Page 33

34 Create or Change an IntelliVent Coupling Code For some Unitron custom ITE instrument models (e.g. Passport), you can use U:set software to create a custom designed optimized vent (IntelliVent). These models will be identified by having the "IntelliVent" option available. To create an optimized vent, select the "IntelliVent" checkbox in the Serial Number / Coupling Code Tab work area. Type the correct 6-digit coupling code into the "Coupling Code" entry box. The coupling code for each shell will be shown on the RSM 3D modeling software document supplied with each custom IntelliVent shell. Be sure that the shell ID matches the instrument that is connected to the work order, or the device will not have the correct acoustic performance. Click the corresponding left, right or binaural section of the multifunction control ring in the center of the screen to save the instrument information to the database. The software will check that the Coupling Code is valid and applicable to the connected instrument. To delete an existing IntelliVent from a device, for example if a customer requests a remake to a standard defined vent size, simply uncheck the "IntelliVent" checkbox. This will remove the coupling code and IntelliVent status from the device. When you Capture the settings of an ITE device with an optimized vent, the acoustic vent mass and other IntelliVent settings are saved in the database, and restored to the instrument when you perform a "Restore Settings" function. When you Capture the settings from an ITE which has an IntelliVent optimized vent, the Coupling Code may be displayed as "*** ***" in the U:set options screen. This indicates that there is valid acoustic vent information in the device, but the coupling code from the device cannot be displayed. Capture and Restore will work correctly for these instruments and will save and restore the optimized vent values. If you Remake the ITE shell, and the new shell will normally have a different Coupling Code (typical if the vent size or design has changed). You must enter and save the new Coupling Code after Restoring the original settings. The fitting application U:fit or Unitron TrueFit should then be used to recalculate the customer s fitting with the new acoustic data. Make any desired changes enable/disable instrument options, modify serial number, enter IntelliVent coupling code and then click the desired left, right or binaural section of the multi-function control ring in the center of the screen to save the settings to the connected instrument(s) and the work order database. Contact Technical Support for more information on using Coupling Codes, creating and modifying Coupling Codes. Page 34

35 Power Level Activation Era platform custom products have up to four possible gain and output power levels. These different power levels are achieved by physically exchanging the receiver on the faceplate kit and then using U:set to activate the corresponding power level of the amplifier electronics. For additional information about the receiver exchange refer to the work instruction Receiver Exchange and PLA (Unitron PAI-0374). Note: It is important to exchange the receiver and perform the power level activation at the faceplate kit level, before the hearing instrument is closed in a custom shell. Failing to activate the amplifier electronics with the correct power level for the connected receiver will result in distortion, feedback issues or a lack of power output. In addition the fitting software will not display the correct gain and output power for the device. Receiver Exchange Jig Receiver Exchange Kit All Era faceplate kits come pre-configured with a P power level receiver. You do not need to change the Power Level for P hearing instruments. For M, HP and SP instruments, you will need a Receiver Exchange Kit and to change the Power Level Settings with U:set. Options Power Level To set the Power Level use the drop down menu. Select the required power level. To activate the power level click the desired left, right or binaural section of the multi-function control ring in the center of the screen. Drop down menu showing available Power Levels Page 35

36 Shell Style Selection Custom products have five commonly used shell styles. CIC Completely In Canal, MC Mini Canal, ITC In The Canal, HS Half Shell and FS Full Shell. The Era platform custom products are much more flexible than previous generations of Unitron products in regard to supporting multiple shell styles for each battery size faceplate kit. Therefore it is very important and required to select the correct shell style for the faceplate kit being used. It is recommended to select the shell style at the same time as the power level activation is performed, before the hearing instrument is closed in a custom shell. For a hearing instrument order with the P power level, the receiver exchange and power level activation is not required, however the shell style will need to be selected. Options Shell Style. To set the Shell Style use the drop down menu. Select the required style (if different from the default) and click the desired left, right or binaural section of the multi-function control ring in the center of the screen. Drop down menu showing available Shell Styles Note: Not all faceplate kits and shell styles are compatible. U:set will display the possible compatible shell styles for the connected faceplate kit. Page 36

37 Firmware Update Install or Update Instrument Firmware After an instrument has been detected (or manually selected), save the information to the database by clicking on the multi-function control ring. The Firmware function button will become available. Select the "Firmware" function button. The version of the firmware in the connected instrument is shown on the left side of the display panel. The right side displays a drop-down menu that shows the installed firmware version and the newest available firmware version known to U:set. In most cases the instrument will already be installed with the latest firmware, but for older instruments you may have two choices. If you want to re-install the existing firmware or upgrade to an optional newer version, select the desired firmware version from the dropdown menu and click the corresponding left, right or binaural section of the multi-function control ring in the center of the screen to save the settings to the connected instrument. Never disconnect the hearing instrument while the firmware is being downloaded. Instrument firmware version selection Page 37

38 Instrument Firmware Recovery During the hearing instrument s firmware upgrade process on U:set, if the communication accidentally gets interrupted or lost, the upgrade process will fail. This can happen for example if the programming cable becomes disconnected before the upgrade finishes. This instrument will not function properly and you cannot use U:set to perform standard operations like Capturing Settings or changing Options. If U:set detects an incomplete firmware image which was created on the same machine, it will display a message to inform the operator. To correct this problem, select the Firmware function button. The latest firmware version known to U:set for the connected instrument is shown in the display panel.

40 Service AMM Exchange Initialize Service AMM Some Unitron BTE instruments returned for service may need to have the electronics replaced with a "Service AMM (Amplifier Microphone Module)." The Service AMM is product-family specific but not model specific, to provide flexibility and reduce the number of Service AMM units that you need to keep in local stock. Replace the AMM in the BTE, and reassemble the instrument and perform a listening test before connecting it to U:set. If you have created a service Work Order for the BTE, enter the Work Order number in U:set and load the order. If the instrument could not be detected by U:set, create a Work Order and manually select the BTE instrument family and model from the work order selection drop-down menus. Click the left, right, or binaural section of the multi-function control ring in the center of the screen. The software will attempt to read and identify the connected instrument(s).

41 SEM Exchange Initialize SEM Unitron instruments returned for service may need to have the electronics replaced with a "Service SEM (Service Exchange Module)." The service SEM is available only for Unitron ERA Generation and later instruments. The SEM replacement part is a generic electronic module that can be used for a variety of different products of a specific model type, which provides flexibility and reduces the number of Service SEM units that you need to keep in local stock. The service SEM exchange differs from the AMM exchange process used with other Unitron product families. SEM initialization only works if fitting data is detected on the Repair Work Order hearing instrument. Capture of user fitting data is important in order to automatically restore the user fitting data to the hearing instrument after SEM exchange is finished Note: It is important to follow the SEM Service Exchange process below, and perform the actions in the correct sequence. SEM Initialization will fail if the steps are not followed as described below. Create a Repair Work Order for the BTE (monaural or binaural). Enter the Work Order number in U:set and load the order. Connect the hearing instrument(s) and click the left or right,-function control ring. The software will attempt to read and identify the connected instrument(s). If the instrument(s) could not be detected by U:set, you will not be able to perform a service SEM initialization. In this case the hearing instrument must be replaced with a new device. The defective device should be sent back to Unitron Capture the user settings and set the hearing instrument(s) to the manufacturer settings or your preferred measurement settings to perform the fault finding diagnostic inspection. If an electronic or electro-acoustic failure with the hearing instrument is identified, then the faulty electronics need to be completely exchanged with an SEM. You need to use U:set to initialize the service SEM. Re-load the Repair work order, connect the defective hearing instrument(s) and click the left, right, or binaural section of the multifunction control ring detect it. Page 41

42 Click the Service AMM / SEM function button. The menu will show Prepare Defective Electronics for Refurbishing if the previous steps were performed correctly.

Click the left, right, or binaural section of the multi-function control ring in the center of the screen to initialize the service SEM. The software will read and identify the connected service SEM(s) and confirm if it is compatible with the original captured device model. The serial number from the original defective BTE instrument will be automatically written to the service SEM as part of the initialization. If the connected service SEM is not compatible with the captured instrument model type, then a warning message will be displayed to help you resolve the problem, as shown in the example. The progress bar will indicate when the process is completed. Restore User Settings After the service SEM initialization has been successfully completed you can restore the original user settings to the hearing instrument. The Work Order is now set to Read-only so that the SEM initialization and confirmation cannot be accidentally deleted from the U:set database. Always print out the Work Order Report and send a copy to Unitron along with the defective electronics. The report has a special barcode which contains product information about the returned electronics. Page 43

44 Example of printed SEM Repair Work Order Report with barcode Return the Defective Electronics for Refurbishing. The SEM is a part of the BTE Service Exchange (BSE) repair process. A generic Service Electronics Module (SEM) is supplied as a replacement for faulty electronics, greatly reducing the local stock of spare parts and reducing the time required in your lab to repair a BTE. The defective electronics must be returned to Unitron for refurbishing and bookkeeping. Please pack the defective electronics in the specially designed ESD-safe trays and ship them back to Unitron on a regular basis. The tray is designed to securely hold up to 10 SEM of all types. You do not need to fill the tray with only one type of electronics. Page 44

45 ESD-safe tray for returning defective electronic It is important to always include a print out of the Work Order Report with the SEM initialization confirmation barcode for each defective electronics module in the tray when you return it to Unitron. There is also an SEM log file that can be viewed via the U:set Tools and Settings drop down menu. The SEM log file contains a list of all encrypted confirmation codes for a one month period. Technical Support may occasionally request you to a copy of this SEM log for statistical analysis or troubleshooting issues. Page 45
