Connectivity and Safari

The desire to use gadgets and electroincs like everyone else applies to children with hearing loss, from the three year old talking on the home phone to daddy at work, to the six year old watching TV with the family, to the schoolchild  and teenager sharing laughs with friends via cell phone. Safari recognizes these everyday needs and offers the option of Bluetooth connectivity in almost all Safari models.

CONNECTLINE STREAMER
Power to connect – freedom to do more

With the ConnectLine Streamer, children of almost any age can use cell phones just as easily as everyone else. Gone are the days of holding the phone at an awkward angle for fear of feedback; with the ConnectLine Streamer accessory for the Safari family, all they have to do is press a button to get the signal sent wirelessly, straight into both Safari instruments.

Looking much like a stylish mp3 player, the Streamer offers easy access to mobile phones, landline phones, laptops, TVs and mp3 players. By picking up the audio signal and sending it straight into both ears, the Streamer turns a pair of Safari’s into the world’s smallest wireless headset!  With no delays in transmission, audio signals perfectly match any visual images. This can make all the difference when watching TV or gaming.

The Streamer can also be used as a remote control for Safari – a feature that parents will find particularly useful. It works even when the volume control or program switch on the instrument itself has been disabled to prevent tampering or accidental changes.

CONNECTLINE
ConnectLine – connectivity with real-time, hi-fi sound quality

Children discover very early the wonder of movies; computer games, music and mobile phones - but these particular pastimes can put even the most sophisticated hearing instruments to the test. Signals from external audio sources are best received directly and wirelessly; hence the introduction of Oticon ConnectLine series.

These smart-looking, user-friendly, wireless and Bluetooth accessories are easy to connect to TVs, PCs, mp3 players and telephones. By offering new opportunities to communicate with others – plus a chance to hear better in more situations than ever - ConnectLine helps children function on a more equal footing with their normal-hearing peers.

CONNECTLINE PHONE
Chatting with friends and family

Families and children with normal hearing take using the phone for granted – it’s natural and effortless. Until recently, children with a hearing loss have had very little opportunity to experience this essential communication. A lot of that changes with ConnectLine. Via the handy Bluetooth enabled Streamer and the ConnectLine phone adaptor children can now chat easily with friends and relatives on both mobile and landline phones.

A chance to go mobile
The Streamer offers a chance to chat with friends on a mobile phone – perhaps for the first time ever! The touch of a button will turn their Safari instruments into a wireless, hands-free headset.

Hands-free home phoning
With the ConnectLine Phone adaptor children won’t have to hold their landline phone at an awkward angle to avoid feedback; in fact, they won’t have to hold the phone at all. They can get calls sent straight to their Safari instruments just by pressing the phone button on their Streamer.

Hearing more of what they are watching

The ConnectLine TV adaptor helps children get more out of watching their favorite shows and films. The combination of superior sound quality and zero delay times means they can follow the action at normal volume levels, so family and friends can enjoy it too!

The neck-worn Streamer accessory can capture the signal from virtually any Bluetooth device and send it wirelessly to both Safari hearing aids. With no delays in transmission, audio signals perfectly match any visual images. This can make all the difference when watching TV or gaming.
