    The range will vary depending on the surrounding materials. The maximum range will be available indoors with no obstructions, in a room which reflects the radio waves.

  • > What happens if ConnectClip is out of range from my hearing instruments?

    ConnectClip will power off if hearing aids are out of range for more than 30 minutes. If connection is lost in remote microphone mode, the hearing instruments will return to P1 after 90 seconds. If you were in another programme (e.g. P2) and out of range, they will stay in that programme (e.g. P2) after 90 seconds.
