Atlas Plus instruments use an Oticon #3 cable. The custom products use a FlexConnect strip and the BTEs use an adaptor. The BTE Direct uses a cable #2 and is programmed through the programming socket. Connect Custom Instruments Connect the small plug to the black connector on the FlexConnect, taking care to align the red dots. Insert a new battery in the instrument. With the battery door slightly open, insert the gold end of the FlexConnect into the space between the battery door and hinge. Connect BTE Instruments Connect the Oticon #3 cable to the programming shoe (make sure the red dot on the plug and the shoe are aligned) and push the instrument into the adaptor. Do not twist the plug! BTE DIR Instruments: Programming socket (lift cover). Note: During programming the instrument must be switched on, and in the M position. M T 0 When connecting the programming plug (Cable 2), be sure that the red dot on the plug matches the red dot on the instrument. Do not twist the plug! M T 0 2

3 O P T I O N S A N D A C C E S S O R I E S Adaptor tool Before connecting the FM or DAI shoe, use the Adaptor tool to make a hole in the base of the instrument. Press the tool into the recess, make a hole and turn the tool. Optional tamper-resistant battery drawer This is strongly recommended for infants, small children, and people with learning difficulties. DAI and FM operation The DAI and FM adaptor shoes are easily clicked onto the instrument. To release the adaptor shoe press the grey button, and pull off. Universal DAI shoe The universal DAI shoe for Atlas Plus provides access to a variety of external sound sources such as: Radio, TV, Walkman, MP3 and PC equipment (Hi setting) Body worn FM equipment (Lo setting) The one shoe can be used for all DAI purposes. Instructions: To open the battery drawer, have the hearing instrument in the off position. Insert the end of a ball-point pen or the like into the small recess, press while gently opening the battery drawer with the other hand. Important: Do not force the battery drawer beyond its fully open position. Insert the battery correctly. Excessive strain can deform the battery drawer, which will reduce its tamper-resistant effectiveness. Sound hooks Atlas Plus can be used with a number of different hooks. Swing hooks are available non-damped, 5 and 9 damped. Moreover, a peadiatric and spectacle adaptor-hook is available. Standard Paediatric Spectacles HI LO Instructions: 1 Set the sensitivity to High (Hi) or Low (Lo). 2 Adjust the output level control to a comfortable level (1-4). Right and Left identification Atlas Plus comes standard with a red and blue marker for easy identification of right and left instruments. FM adaptor shoe The FM adaptor shoe is used with ear level FM systems. Instructions: Open the battery drawer. Insert the marker and twist off the top part. 3

4 F I T T I N G Select Oticon in the Noah Manufacturer Selection screen. A sub-screen will appear. Choose Genie. Use the Selection menu to select instruments. When an Atlas Plus instrument is selected, click Fitting to program the instrument. Standard Fitting Panel Use the trimmers to adjust: LF Loud - low frequency gain for loud inputs (shown value is average insertion gain at ) LF Soft - low frequency gain for soft inputs (shown value is average insertion gain at ) HF Loud - high frequency gain for loud inputs HF Soft - high frequency gain for soft inputs Link loud and soft control to make overall gain changes in the HF or LF channels. Manual Override Sets the reserve gain in the digital volume control. Frequency Response Allows individual adjustments in the four frequency bands. Expanded Fitting Panel The expanded panel has the following two controls that are not available in the standard panel: MPO - sets the Maximum Power Output. Can be adjusted for low and high frequencies separately. Attack and Release Time Controls - Decreasing the attack times causes a faster reaction in the compression circuits. Increasing the release time makes the instrument move more slowly out of compression. Adaptation Manager Set the Adaptation Manager to reflect the hearing aid experience of the client and to get high immediate acceptance by reducing or increasing the selected setting. Link When adjusting controls in styles with a directional program, click the link icon to link the programs; any changes to Linked Not linked Program 1 will then also apply to Program 2. To access and adjust Program 2 separately, click the P2 icon. Directional LF Roll Off Adjusts the degree of LF gain roll off. A grayed icon indicates a degree of roll off that is unavailable. Select more roll off if: Wind, footsteps, etc. are too loud Speech in noise is unclear Select less roll off if: Speech in noise is too soft 4

5 F I T T I N G Feedback Management The feedback management system consists of two elements: The Feedback Manager and the Dynamic Feedback Cancellation system. The Feedback Manager ensures excellent sound quality and feedback-free operation in the static situation. The Dynamic Feedback Cancellation system continuously monitors and eliminates feedback due to changes in the acoustical environment. Click the icon to access the manual or automatic Feedback Management. Telecoil The Push button can be programmed to match the client s preferences. The choices available depend on the selected instruments. M = Microphone T = Telecoil MT = Microphone combined with telecoil Directional: P1 = Microphone P2 = Directional Microphone Dynamic Feedback Cancellation The Dynamic Feedback Cancellation (DFC) system is active in all Atlas Plus instruments. The DFC constantly monitors the input of the instrument for the presence of acoustic feedback. When feedback is detected, the DFC reacts immediately by phasing out the feedback signal without reducing gain. The DFC is designed to adapt to all daily situations, including slow acoustic changes such as an earmould or shell that gradually moves out of proper position, as well as fast acoustic changes, such as placing the phone by the ear. Using the Feedback Manager A few Atlas Plus clients might experience feedback intermittently while wearing their instruments. This could be due to a very loose-fitting instrument, which then might require the DFC to work close to maximum level to control the feedback. In these rare cases, the DFC may not be able to fully compensate for additional sources of feedback caused by dynamic acoustic changes. Therefore, it may be necessary to run the Feedback Manager to increase the feedback margin. Interaction of the DFC and the Feedback Manager The DFC is automatically disabled while the Feedback Manager is running. Once feedback limits have been established and accepted by the Feedback Manager, the DFC is automatically re-activated. BTE Direct Telecoil switch options The function of the sliding switch on Atlas Plus BTE Direct can be programmed to match the user s requirements. Telecoil Boost Applies an additional 6 boost to the telecoil. Not available in power instruments. 5
