Nano V8 Bluetooth loop kit instructions

• Nano V8 rechargeable induction unit and neckloop.
• Ten round Nano receivers with their extractor bar.
• Two standard Nano receivers, an extractor magnet and an extractor bar.
• A USB charging cable.

Identify the receivers separately from the larger extractor magnet and bars. The kit contains different Nano shapes; the number of supplied receivers is not an instruction to put multiple receivers into the ear.The current options are Nano, Nano + Vip Pro SuperMini, Nano + Vip Pro SuperMini Beige, and Nano + Vip Pro UltraMini. A Nano + Vip Pro option adds one selected receiver and two 337/SR416SW cells. The cells are only for that optional receiver.

1. Connect the supplied charging cable to the unit and a 5 V, 1 A USB power supply.
2. The connector does not sit fully inside the Nano V8 port. Do not force it farther than its normal seated position.
3. A red light indicates charging. Allow approximately one hour.
4. Charging is complete when a blue light comes on. Disconnect the charging cable before use.

Listed operation is approximately three hours, depending on volume and use. The phone may show a battery percentage in its status bar or Bluetooth settings when connected; that display depends on the phone. For long storage periods, use and recharge the battery at least once every three months.

1. Before switching on, check that the neckloop is connected securely to the induction unit.
2. Press and hold the unit’s button until the blue light comes on and flashes.
3. Enable Bluetooth on the phone and search for V8 or a similar model label.
4. Select it and check that the phone shows it connected. The blue light goes out while a phone is connected.
5. Start a known recording or song and select the connected V8 as the phone’s playback or call output.

The first pairing is retained for reconnection to that phone with Bluetooth enabled. While connected to one device, the unit is hidden from other Bluetooth searches. Disconnect the first phone before trying to pair another. If no light comes on, charge the unit fully and try again.

The integrated microphone is at the top of the neckloop. Keep it uncovered. Adjust the volume on the phone. The unit button controls the functions listed below.

Some remote commands depend on the phone or playback app. Use the phone’s own controls when a function is unavailable. Use the phone to end a call. Start at low volume and avoid continuous maximum volume.

1. Work in a quiet room with all small parts on a table. Identify the Nano receivers and keep them separate from the extractor parts.
2. Check that the loop is connected to the charged unit and Bluetooth is paired.
3. Place at least two Nano receivers together in direct contact with the neckloop on the table.
4. Play a known track and check for faint sound or vibration outside the ear. Increase volume gradually for this check, then reduce it before use.
5. If there is no response, charge for at least an hour, check the Bluetooth connection and phone audio output, and try another compatible phone.

This is a check of the audio path outside the ear. It does not verify an in-ear position, or guarantee that a passive receiver cannot be faulty.

These steps apply only to a Nano + Vip Pro option. Nano receivers have no battery to fit.

Fit the 337/SR416SW cell

1. Unscrew the optional receiver’s cap with your fingers.
2. Fit one 337/SR416SW cell with the positive (+), marked face upward.
3. Refit the cap carefully and check that it is aligned.

Check it on a table

With the loop connected and Bluetooth audio playing, place the optional receiver near the neckloop on a table and check for sound. A hiss alone does not prove correct operation. For loud buzzing, remove the cell, check its positive-up orientation and cap alignment, then try a charged cell. Contact support if the problem persists; do not stretch an internal spring or probe the receiver’s openings with a needle.The cell drains while installed even without audio. Remove it after use.

Wear the connected loop around the neck and keep the microphone clear of clothing and tape. Keep the powered unit dry. It is not washable and must be removed from clothing before washing.The round and standard Nano sets have extractor bars; the standard set also has the larger extractor magnet. Do not insert these tools into the ear canal. Count and account for the small receivers after use. A lack of sound does not prove that a receiver has been recovered.An optional Vip Pro receiver has a transparent retrieval thread. Hold it with your fingers only when it is already accessible, and stop if removal is difficult. Remove the cell once the receiver is out of the ear.

Do not insert cotton buds or tools into the ear canal, or push a receiver deeper. If removal is difficult, stop and get medical care. Seek urgent care for severe pain, bleeding or discharge; a battery in the ear needs immediate medical help. See Mayo Clinic: foreign objects in the ear and NHS: earwax build-up.

Clean the removed Nano receivers, extractor magnet and bars with water or isopropyl alcohol only outside the ear. Keep liquids away from the powered unit and let removed parts dry completely before storing them. Ask support about cleaning an optional Vip Pro receiver; do not use needles.

Switch off

Hold the unit button until the blue light flashes three times. Switch off after use to avoid the battery discharging while stored.
