Program Selector
The PSP can store up to three (3) programs. In the off position (O), there is no
sound. As the Program Selector is rotated clockwise, the Processor is activated, and
one of three programs can be selected (•, ••, •••). The nal position ( ) is re-
served for a microphone test (see Troubleshooting/Microphone Test for more infor-
mation). It is important that the team of individuals working with the child know
which programs are on the Processor and when to use these programs. When the
Processor is not in use, setting this dial to the off position will deactivate the Proces-
sor.
Volume Control
The Volume Control allows the loudness level to be adjusted. Turning the control in
a clockwise direction increases the loudness; turning the control counterclockwise
decreases the loudness. The volume position is indicated by the raised line on the
dial, which typically is set to the 12 o’clock position.
The audiologist has the ability to restrict or limit the Volume Control dial. Although
the dial will continue to work, a restricted range will limit the actual decrease or
increase to sound as the dial is moved. Programming the Volume Control in this
manner prevents accidental changes in loudness (either too soft or too loud), which
could compromise the child’s hearing. This is an important feature to discuss with
the team of individuals supporting the child at school.
Sensitivity Control
The Sensitivity Control determines the quietest level of sound that will be picked up
from the environment by the Microphone. The dial is typically set between 11 and 12
o’clock. Turning the Sensitivity Control in a clockwise direction increases the Micro-
phone’s sensitivity for softer, more distant sounds. Turning the Sensitivity Control
counterclockwise decreases the sensitivity so that softer and more distant sounds are
not picked up by the Microphone. This may help in the presence of background
noise, for example in a cafeteria or gym.
NOTE: Increasing the Sensitivity (clockwise) beyond the 12:00 position will increase
the Green LED response. Conversely, decreasing the Sensitivity (counterclockwise)
will decrease the response and require louder sounds to be present in order to activate
this feature.
