Getting started

Unpacking, installing and testing the unit
1. Open the battery cover (17) by pressing the battery cover lock (16) in the direction of the ar-
row. Fit the batteries and make sure they have been inserted the right way round. Follow the
markings in the battery compartment (14). Only use AA alkaline type batteries. Do not use
force to press down the batteries. Close the battery cover (17) and check that the lock (16)
locks with a click.
2. Connect BE9122 Bellman Headphones, BE9159 Bellman Neck Loop, BE9125 Bellman
Stetoclip, BE9124 Bellman Ear Phones or another product recommended by Bellman &
Symfon to the green headphone output (12) on the right-hand side.
3. Give one short press on the On/Off button h (5) to start Maxi. The LEDs (3 and 4) above the
Microphone selection button a (6) and the Telecoil selection button d (7) will blink while
Maxi starts.
Maxi always starts with the internal microphone (2) selected as a sound source. In addition, the
volume control is always set to low volume to avoid unpleasant sound levels.
Use the volume control bc (9) to control the sound level. c increases and b reduces the volume.
The Volume and Tone LED Indicator (8) shows the sound level. The more LEDs that are lit the
higher the volume. The LED indicator goes out 3 seconds after the sound volume has been set.
Use the tone control fg (10) to adjust the sound quality. g increases and f reduces the treble.
The Volume and Tone LED Indicator (8) shows the tone setting. The LED indicator goes out 3
seconds after the sound quality has been set.
When you have finished, you can switch off Maxi by giving a short press on the On/Off button h (5).
Please note: The BE2020 Bellman Audio Maxi digital communication aid is not a hearing
®
instrument. Bellman & Symfon AB recommend that anyone who is experiencing hearing loss
should consult a doctor.
Warning! The BE2020 Bellman Audio Maxi digital communication aid has a very powerful
®
amplifier and the sound level can cause discomfort or, in serious cases, endanger hearing if the
product is used carelessly. Always turn the volume down to a low level before putting on the head-
phones!
Warning! If the BE2020 Bellman Audio Maxi digital communication aid is used together with
®
a neck loop, e.g. BE9159 (accessory), the inductive loop (T position) should not be selected as a
signal source, because this can cause powerful inductive feedback. Feedback together with a high
sound level can cause discomfort or, in serious cases, endanger your hearing.
Warning! The Bellman Audio Maxi digital communication aid uses AA alkaline type batteries.
®
Do not expose batteries to fire or direct sunlight.
Function
The BE2020 Bellman Audio Maxi Digital Communication Aid is a digital amplifier which has
®
been specifically developed to provide an exceptional sound experience even in demanding situ-
ations. Maxi works extremely well for speech and music with the built-in microphone, with an
external microphone (accessory) or with other external sound sources.
Built-in microphone
The built-in microphone (2) is located under the rubber cap on the top of the front panel.
The microphone is an omnidirectional one.
Telecoil
The built-in telecoil is angled at 45 degrees in order to catch inductive signals from an inductive
loop in both the horizontal position (in the hand or on a table) and vertical position (on a clip or
neck strap).
The T position can be used in premises where an inductive loop (or hearing loop) has
been fitted. Look for the inductive loop symbol or ask staff whether there is an
inductive loop if you are unsure.
Selecting the signal source
It is easy to select the sound source.
• The user can manually choose between the internal microphone (M position) or built-in
telecoil (T position) by pressing the buttons a (6) and d (7) on the front. When switching
between these, the volume control will be set to a low level to avoid unpleasant sound levels.
• If something is connected to the external sound source input, Maxi automatically selects
this. When you remove it, Maxi is automatically connected to the internal microphone (M
position).
External sound source
If the user connects an audio cable (accessory BE9126) between the red 2.5 mm tele jack and
a sound source (SCART connector, hi-fi equipment, MP3 player etc.), this sound source is
selected instead. The input sensitivity is automatically adjusted to adjust the signal strength to
these sound sources. The internal microphone (2) is switched off in this position.
Combined signal sources
When you have connected a sound source to the External sound source input (1), this sound
source can be combined with the sound that the internal microphone (2) receives. This is done
by holding down the a button (6).
The sound from the sound source connected to the External sound source input (1) is reduced
and the internal microphone is connected so that you can, for example, perceive sound or con-
verse with somebody else. The Microphone LED (3) blinks while the button is held down.
