Roger On installation and pairing

One other alternative, as yet not discussed on this thread, if you have an inductive loop/telecoil on your hearing aids, you can buy the “Roger Neck Loop”, in the UK around £130 to £150 new, (Type 03) you can pick them up used, and cheaper than that on eBay, or the (Type 02) for around £350 new… Again cheaper if you buy used, via eBay, I do have this Roger Neck Loop (Type 03) bought new, as yet untried, so I can’t vouch for how effective it is? But, it is probably the cheapest method to connect a Roger On device… Remember also, if you are buying 2nd hand Roger X Receivers, they need to have a serial number above 1744, Roger X Receivers prior to this serial are older technology, and will not work with Mavel, Paradise or indeed Lumity aids… Cheers Kev :wink:

You may be wright. I guess I had to say European Union, although that isn’t what I was told. @SpudGunner told the story.

Edit: To make it more bizar I paid € 862,92 in the EU online.

is that for the iN version or the normal ON version?

The On In, so the most expensive one with the two licenses, brand new.

How do one can check if the Roger X receivers have licenses in them or empty?
Unless they or the hearing care professional have a roger installer to check for the licenses?

That’s weird, I responded to my own questions :thinking:

That’s a good price then, I paid approximately 1600 euros for the same :sob:

So sorry to hear, I should not have told you. Heads up

You can’t, until you use a Roger Installer.

I bought a Roger X 02 receiver with audio shoe for £15 that had the right serial number.

It coming with an audio shoe, meant it was more likely to not be empty.

Thank you for all your help Baltazard! I’m considering buying a used Roger On on ebay to pair with my new L90s. I asked the seller to press the install button and take a pic of the screen showing that the receivers are still in it. But he can’t find the install button. See attached pic. Does this mean it’s the non-iN version of the Roger On?

Ask him to read the label that is on the back to say what it is.

It’s on the picture but burry.

Looks like it says Model: Roger On and that is it. It would say Model: Roger On iN if it was the one you needed.

I know I am too late to respond.

It is only because I was struggling once as a beginner also that I would like to post a picture of the visual differences between the on and on in.

Mind that the Roger On In has a hole on the back you can push with a pin. The ON lacks this hole.

On the other hand the label on the back also tells the model:.

This hole is to place the licenses in your HA’s. You can also check in the same way to see if the licenses are on board of the Roger On In as when you push it with a pin it will let you see how many there are on the Roger left/ not transmitted.

If your (Roger ready) HA is direct near the Roger and in coupling mode the license will be transferred one at a time by pushing the hole. In the same way you can transfer them back to the Roger

If the licenses are used or not on the Roger anymore it will show you the 0 if you push the hole.

So by using the Roger On and no licenses on you HA installed the Roger will not connect/ be usable.

Hope this makes it easy for people who want to know.

Thank you, yes I figured it was the non-iN version.

Instead, I bought an On iN (used on ebay, $1200) and successfully paired it with my new L90s. Now I just need to go to a noisy restaurant and give it a try!

Good to hear.
It works well if you do not set the volume to high. Rather go down in volume.
Makes you hear a lot better, if you place it at the right position!
Give it a try, You will feel like a spy.

Keep in mind that the Roger On iN comes with internal licences for use with 2 aids. As emile.heilbron noted above, you transfer the two licenses to your aids. At this point the iN is bound to those aids and cannot be used with any other aids, unless you transfer the licenses back “into” the iN.

WARNING. If an animal (my cat in my example) eats your hearing aid, or if you lose one, the license in the destroyed/lost aid CANNOT be recovered! Your iN is constantly one channel now! Phonak will not help you!

My audi told me they only way is to buy and transfer another license from a Roger X [edited].

Check your insurances!

Either I’m misunderstanding what your audi said or he’s incorrect. There are two ways to get a “license.”
1)From a Roger On iN that still has it’s “licenses” or 2) From Roger X receivers with appropriate serial numbers that still have their “licenses”
Yes, one should be aware of what loss and damage coverage your hearing aids and accessories come with.

The Roger On can be used with any aids that have licenses, and the aids can connect to any Roger devices that they are allowed to pair to. The iN version is a convenient way to deliver the licenses, but not an exclusive way. You can buy a receiver and have the license transferred into a new aid if you destroy an aid with your license in it and need to replace it. The pairing is separate from the licensing.

Not true … the IN can be used with any aids that have receiver licenses in them, I have Three Select IN’s and three set of P90’s and they all work with any aid.
Also if your aid have receiver licenses in them you can use a Select (not IN ) with them

I need to deinstall the receivers from my HAs back into my Roger On iN. However, the instructions are not working for me. I turn on the Roger and press a tool into the recessed hole behind the clip for several seconds, but the Roger doesn’t respond (it doesn’t show the hearing aid icons). Is there a trick to it? Has anyone had problems with this? I’m worried that the button is broken.
