I’m curious about how one charges the Phonak Roger Installer device. Is that what that side “bung” is for? Most appreciative if anyone who has one of these can explain how to charge it up and what the bung is for…thanks!

1 x triple disposable battery, half turn right to open the (bung :upside_down_face: ) battery access door, place a triple AAA in, half turn to the left to close…. Switch on, and away you go :grin: I hope this helps…. TBVH, at first, I couldn’t figure out how to open the battery door myself, as the instructions were not clear, but once u know how, it is very simple…. Hope this helps, cheers Kev :wink:

They are, hard plastic, it only weighs about 4 ounces, if you include the disposable battery, approximately 3 inches across, maybe 6 inches in circumference, and about half an inch thick… 3 tiny prong plug holes on the side, to insert Roger x (02 or 03), off/on switch, tiny LED light on top, battery door, outline of where to place the aid on top, and that is it… Good luck in obtaining one, an extremely handy piece of kit for swopping license’s about, if like me, you have several pairs of aids, probably takes approximately 5 minutes to transfer the license’s from one set of aids, back onto the Roger X receivers, then onto another set of aids, it is a very simple process… Cheers Kev :grin:

It’s going to depend on which Roger Select iN I end up with. If I get one with licenses in it I shouldn’t need the Installer, as I understand it. Should be able to transfer the licenses directly from Select into and out of my Marvel and Paradise aids. Thoughts?

There’ll only be 2 x licenses for a pair of hearing aids, unfortunately not for 2 x pairs of Aids.

Right. So isn’t it possible to have a pair of licenses in a pair of my Marvel aids and be able to uninstall them back on to the Select iN, then transfer/install them onto my Paradise aids? One set of aids are a backup to the other but I’m trying to work them with only one pair of licenses, back and forth.

Sorry, yes that can happen.

Yeah @platypus, the Roger On In, can install direct into your aids, without the need for an Roger Installer, but they are expensive, as you are no doubt aware… I went with the Roger Installer, because I have various Roger devices, some of which only work with Roger X type (02) receivers, I believe the “Roger On In”, only come with Type (03) receivers pre-installed… I just shop around on eBay, and sometimes I pick up certain pieces at knockdown prices, it is amazing how you sometimes get a real bargain, if you are prepared to wait, and have patience… I once bought a 6 months old (still boxed), Roger X Type (02) for £56, that’s 1/10 of the retail price here in the UK, if you go this route with the Roger Installer, make sure any Roger X Receivers you buy, have a serial number above 1744, any below that wont work with Marvel or Paradise aids… Good Luck, Cheers Kev :wink:

You are very welcome @platypus :grin: One other thing I should add, to help you decide, Roger X Type (02) Receivers are classed as “Educational Type Receivers”, and are almost double the retail price! But, as such, they are cross compatible, they work (at present) with all Roger devices, whether they are Type (02 or 03).Type (03) will only work with Roger (03) devices… The Only other route is to buy a Roger On, and then get a Roger On Type (02 or 03) Inductive Loop, if your aids have Tele-coil, these cost new around £125 (03) and about £300 for the (03), I have a new one, Type (03) Loop, I never even tested it, it is still unused… It was my initial plan was to buy a loop, to get me started, and then gather all the other stuff, but in any event, I got another Roger X Type (03) fairly quickly, £76 if I recall correctly? I bought the other for £375 from Boots Hearing Care, a year or so prior to that… So the Loop was never ever used… Good Luck with your choice. Cheers Kev :wink:
