Monorean Pro Guide

Bluetooth earpiece for MP3 player

Many users decide to record themselves dictating the subjects and store the recordings in their MP3 player so that they can listen to their own voice during the exam. Monorean Pro not only will allow you to listen to your own dictations that you previously recorded but will allow you to navigate among the tracks thanks to the MP3 pushbuttons. If your idea is to connect the Monorean Pro with your cell phone and place a phone call, read: Connecting the monorean Pro Bluetooth earpiece with your cell phone

Connecting the Bluetooth earpiece to the MP3 player

  1. Charge the control box through the connector with the label: to your computer with the USB cable. Check that your computer’s USB port is in perfect condition. Keep the computer on while the control box is charging.

    Store the device fully charged.

    The battery indicator ( ) will be red indicating: charging. It’ll be fully charged once the indicator turns green.

  2. Place the inductive collar around your neck. The side that reads the word monorean should be placed above the end of your breastbone right below the heigh of your clavicle. This way the back side of the collar won’t be touching your neck but instead will go a bit down to the area of your upper back making it impossible to be seen once you put a shirt on.

    Use cloth or plastic surgical tape to secure the collar to your body. Be especially careful in areas of the collar indicated as Fragile Area.

How to use the Bluetooth earpiece with MP3

At this moment you have the hidden earpiece monorean Pro connected to your cell phone or MP3 Bluetooth. Don’t forger having stored the audio tracks in your MP3 player or cell phone.

With the hidden earpiece installed enter the exam room and once you are ready to listening to your own dictations just press the “play/pause” pushbutton ( ) and you’ll start listening through the hidden earpiece to the first recording stored in your cell phone or Bluetooth MP3 player. Press the “next track pushbutton “ ( ) until you reach the recording that will help you out in your exam. If you need to go back to the previous audio recording, press the “previous track” pushbutton ( ).

Press and hold the pushbuttons to trigger the flashforward/rewind function.

If the track is too long and you’d like to reach to a particular minute you can press and hold the “next track” pushbutton to skip ahead in the same track. Stop holding the pushbutton when you’ve reached the desired minute. If you went passed the desired minute you simply can press and hold the “previous track” to move the scroll backwards.

What Bluetooth MP3 player should I use?

Technically you can use any Bluetooth MP3 player with your Bluetooth earpiece Monorean Pro nonetheless finding a compatible MP3 player is not always easy. For this reason we recommend you simply use your cell phone as an MP3 player. If you put your cell phone into airplane mode you’d have essentially a Bluetooth MP3 player. Remember that if you chose to use your cell phone, the APP you’ll be using needs to implement the Bluetooth commands functionality. For example, on iPhone the APP Voice Memos is not compatible with the Bluetooth Pushbuttons while the APP Music perfectly supports the Bluetooth commands.

We recommend using a cell phone in airplane mode instead of a Bluetooth MP3.

If you are still interested on using a Bluetooth MP3 player with your hidden earpiece Monorean Pro you’ll need an MP3 player with the Bluetooth profiles AVRCP and A2DP. Specifically AVRCP will enable the function to navigate among the audio tracks while the A2DP profile will provide the audio compatibility. Few manufacturers will provide the technical specifications of the Bluetooth they provide so it’ll come down mostly to trial and error.
