HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted March 4, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 @Mary Featherston I am not sure. I think at least one person here chose Rondo 2 as activation kits. When I received my Sonnet via a Sonnet voucher promo (like the plus Rondo 2 promo), I was sent a form to complete to choose all the color options of the various pieces.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted March 4, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 @Mary Beth - interesting. It makes sense. I just learned on the FB page that a guy who got his Rondo2s as an upgrade received water wear and some travel cases, neither of which were in the promotional kit. I understand that, but he also mentioned that he'd have liked to be able to choose some of the kit contents - like, instead of a remote, maybe the external battery pack.

HearPeers Heroes Jewel Posted July 7, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 So today has been a very long day. I put on my fully charged Rondo 2 at around 5:45 a.m. Saturday and save and except for 1 hour to shower and get ready I wore it for the entire day until the battery died at at 12:31 a.m. Sunday. So by my calculation the battery lasted for just under 18 hours but hey I'm not complaining! I don't usually have such long days. I got dying battery beeps for about 8 minutes before the battery died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolmarie Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Oh I called it a remote oh dear that’s funny I tried to post the photo of the new Fine Tuner in the case it was room for three battery must be leftover from rondo roger select is small first I have to charge it then bring it in to the Audi on July 23 for the next appt do you have any problem returning things you don’t need for something you want like extra waterproof cover i have almost two of everything that I can’t use but would like to get more of what I need i know that the box can’t not be open thank you very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 13, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 @Carolmarie Many of us call the Fine Tuner our “remote”. Is your new one the Fine Tuner remote? Is the actual remote smaller or just the case that holds it smaller? Check with your audiologist about any exchanges of unopened items. I’m not sure if that is allowed or not. Having extras of some items though can be helpful in the future. The Roger Select is quite small. It reminds me of Chip Ahoy Chocolate Chip cookies. Smile. It’s a terrific remote mic. Have fun playing with it. Will you have your processors that were set for your first side programmed as back ups for your new side? In your new Rondo 2 kit did you receive... -Rondo 2 -extra mic covers -charging pad -small case that holds charging pad and Rondo 2 -waterwear pack -leashes and clips for hair/clothing -Roger Select -Roger MyLink neckloop receiver -Fine Tuner remote -case for Fine Tuner remote Anything else?

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 13, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 @Carolmarie Your first side CI experience was heart breaking. You are a very strong person who persevered through it all and braved your second side. I am so happy that your second side is off and running to such an amazing start! Yay! -GripWear (I forgot about that.) -speech tester device What is in the cleaning kit for Rondo 2? Is your audiologist getting you a magnet strength 4 so you have a working backup?

Andy Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 My Rondo 2 has been ultra reliable until today. Battery died after 3 hours. Not brought with me the back up battery pack or wireless charging pad...🙄 Probably my fault as trying to find a different way to charge Rondo 2 without lights blazing in the middle of the night...been trying the small travel pouch & zipping it shut once on charge...must have slipped off the pad last night...pfft.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted September 2, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 @Andy Bummer! I’m sorry for your unexpected quiet day. You may want to be careful about closing in the Rondo 2 on the charging pad because it may overheat. Any chance you can relocate the charging pad to another room or use a vertical item to block the glowing light instead? Andy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 Well, I’ve got my Rondo 2 on charge, I tried using the battery pack, but it wouldn’t stop beeping. I’m therefore borrowing the holiday loaner whilst watching TV & my Rondo 2 charges up. Previously I’d been keeping the Rondo charged up under the bed, with a large box lid over it to cover up the bright lights. It was getting annoying that it was out of reach if I needed to get to it. I’ll be using the new travel pouch Medel gave me all the time now. just hope the beeping stops on my Rondo 2...🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
