Extra information

Widex TV Dex comes in two parts:

Part 1 – is the base unit part that connected to an audio output of the TV (or other streaming device, SKY etc). Part 1 streams the TV signal to part 2.

Part 2 – is the remote control device which is positioned close to the user. It is rechargeable and charges when placed in Part 1. Part 2 streams the signal to the hearing aids. Part 2 can be used to adjust the streamed volume independently of the TV volume.  Part 2 can work with multiple Part 1’s – hence the option of buying more base units.

Working range: Part 1 and 2 must be within 30 feet. Part 2 must be within 3 feet of the hearing aids – it can be worn with a neckloop. If the devices are outside this range the audio signal may be intermittent.

Important Notes:

This device comes with two audio connector options (a scart connector, and a red/white phono cable) – it does not have a Toslink connection. If your TV only has a Toslink audio output then you will need to buy a ‘Digital to Analog Audio Converter’.
