Roger X confusion

I just purchased Roger EasyPen. When I tried to add it as an accessory in Target 7.0 it brings up that Roger X (2) is mandatory. I don’t understand what Roger X is and why I would need it to get Roger EasyPen to work with my P90 hearing aids. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

TLDR: Phonak Paradise and Roger Easy aren’t meant to connect. Most of the times a new generation of Phonak aids will demand a new line of aids.

The Roger Easy has some bluetooth functionality to connect to your mobile: It basically functions as a headset that allows you to answer&deny calls.

To connect to your aids, you need a receiver. -The Roger MyLink has a loop around your neck and connects via .
-The Roger X has three pins (europin), which can be chucked into the bottom of a ComPilot or a hearing aid boot.
-There are also receivers that are hearing aid boots. Depending on your aids, you need different boots.

As the Paradise line doesn’t need a gadget to connect to your phone anymore, the only functionality left is the mic function.
If it would work during a phone call, you could rig your mobile to start a dummy phone call. The input would be Roger Easy and the output would also go to the Roger Easy. You would have to split audio to two sinks: Both the Paradise aids and the Roger Easy.

So you would need to use two apps: an audio output splitter and a dummy or test telephone app.

You need to install a license from the Roger X into your Paradise aids for the EasyPen to work.

Edit - to install the license, you need this machine.

It doesn’t connect. It only works as a Microphone.

You would need to get the Roger Pen 1.1 to use Bluetooth.

Oh. Then I have 2 Roger 1.1’s or a 1.0 and one 1.1? The one is wholly aluminum colored, the other has telephone buttons in red and green. I am willing to stand corrected. Always assumed I had an easy and a 1.1.

Good to hear that they connect to the Phonak Paradise directly after license installation. What can I expect for connection to the Phonak M90’s Raudrive has send on (an all-european-tour*) to me?

*They appear to have passed Riga, after visiting Vienna and Frankfurt first. :slight_smile:

The Bluetooth won’t work on the Pens with the Marvel / Paradise otherwise the start to act all weirdly and changes programs and causes all sorts of beeps etc.

I am only interested in the mic function for meetings and slurring friends. (Some can’t seem to handle their alcohol and articulation at the same time.)
However, I don’t expect them to connect to the RogerPen without an intermediary.

You would need to get a machine like in the picture above to transfer the licenses to the M90. The Roger X needs to have a serial number of 1744 or later for it to work.

Another option is to buy a Roger Pen iN device that has the licenses in the Pen already.

You won’t be able to use the ComPilot.

Nope. I got the X(03) 1412… Suppose, I’ll have to pay the audiologist again to prescribe the solo equipment. Well, at least he’ll be able to make a measurement for the new aids, too.

@Raudrive: Do your M90’s have ? Because I already have the MyLink. (I expect the T in Audeo M90 RT stands for T-coil.)

I think I already thought about this around Christmas time. Forgot about it by now, though.

Yes, they are the Audeo M90 RT aids.
That’s why I brought up the with Roger.

Just to make sure I am on the right track: If I purchased a Select iN, after I had connected it to my Paradise P90 R with custom molds, I would be able to connect and use my Roger EasyPen that I have already purchased?

And here comes the new gadget line…:slight_smile:
So the Roger Select replaces the TableMic II? And connects to all previous Roger equipment? Nice if they at least kept the Roger line compatible. (More space I suppose.)

About the batteries: Did anyone stumble into dying RogerMic batteries, yet? Mine seem to be still going strong after 5+ years.

So the select won’t let the Roger Pen’s connect to the ’s? Than I misread the previous posts.

Took me a few seconds to recognize from the images that the Select and the Table Mic weren’t the identically shaped. Phonak gadgets always seem to be able to confuse me. I still have a ZoomLink somewhere that I bought, because I mistook it for a Roger MyLink. Same on the outside, different on the label: One analog, one digital.
