SmartLink operating range
With built-in antenna: up to 3 meters ( 10 ft)
With short antenna: up to 10 meters ( 32 ft)
With lavalier cord antenna: up to 30 meters (100 ft)
The short antenna and lavalier cord plug in at the
front of the SmartLink, next to the on/off switch.
The lavalier cord is recommended when:
• The distance between the SmartLink and the
hearing instrument user is greater than 10 meters.
• The SmartLink is handed to a speaker
(for example at a lecture or presentation).
• SmartLink is used in the presence of interfering
radio signals.
• The short antenna or lavalier cord must also
be connected when using the SmartLink with an
ex ternal microphone or a television set.
High-powered electronic equipment, larger
electronic installations and metallic structures
may impair and significantly reduce the
operating range.

At switch-off, the SmartLink automatically resets
Phonak hearing instruments with remote control
compatibility to the program that was previously
in use.
Example:
• Multi-channel FM receivers automatically enter
power-saving mode about 40 seconds after the
SmartLink is switched off. Because they consume
practically no current in this mode, the receivers
can stay connected to the hearing instrument
without having to be switched off.
The receivers automatically resume normal opera-
tion when the SmartLink switches on again.
