Explanation of the SET mode of hörbert
The SET mode is only available on the hörbert model 2021. This mode can be used to activate and deactivate all special hörbert functions. This SET template shows which functions can be set. It is always included in the package when a new hörbert is delivered:
How do you set hörbert to SET mode?
- Open the rear back panel with a coin and pull out the back panel.
- Switch on hörbert and it will play normally through its loudspeaker.
- Inside hörbert, press the small button labelled “SET” once to the right of the hörbert logo on the circuit board. The LED on the SET button is now solid green. hörbert is muted. The front buttons are now in SET mode.
- Set the desired functions. You can set all functions at once. You will find a detailed explanation of the individual functions below.
- Important: After setting the functions, you must press the SET button inside again so that they are also saved.
- There is a time-out of about 5 minutes. So make all the desired settings within this time and press the SET button again at the end to save.
- Wait a few seconds until hörbert is playing normally again and then switch it off or let hörbert continue to entertain you, just as you like.
What do the symbols on the SET template mean?
- Dark purple button: Activate the sleep timer by pressing it once. If you hear a single beep, the sleep timer is now activated. If you hear a double, slightly lower tone, the sleep timer is off. To activate it, simply press the dark purple button again. ON is indicated on the template by the green tick. OFF is indicated by the red XX.
- Red and dark blue button: set the desired playing time of the sleep timer. Each click on the red button means +1 hour. You can set up to 7 hours of playing time, then the counter starts again at 0, indicated by a double signal tone. Each click on the dark blue button means: +10 minutes. For example, you can set a playing time of 2.5 hours by pressing the red button twice and the dark blue button three times.
- Light green button: Activate Bluetooth (single beep) / deactivate (double beep)
- Yellow button: Activate pairing (single beep) / deactivate (double beep).
