T-program (64DW Only)
Your hearing instrument has a built-in function, enabling in many cases an improved use of the telephone
and better hearing in churches or halls where an induction loop system is installed. In order to activate this
function, the telecoil program has to be selected (often available in program 2). In this program you will hear
no sounds from the microphone, therefore most environmental sounds will be lost. If you wish, your hear-
ing care professional can change the setting in such a way that you hear the microphone and the telecoil
simultaneously.
Note: For Hearing Instruments in the True family (Models TRUXXXX-YYY), when the telecoil program has
been selected, the wireless system will be disabled and it will not be possible to use the wireless remote
control or receive a phone call using the Phone Link.
Using the telephone
•
Switch your instrument to the telecoil program.
•
Hold your telephone handset behind your ear, close to the hear ing instru-
ment (2-3 cm.) and slightly tilt the receiver outwards.
Hearing through an induction loop
More and more public places, churches, theatres and cinemas, have induction loops systems. In these par-
ticular rooms, they transmit, inductively, the sound of the presenter or show. At home, radio or television can
be connected to an induction loop system. Sound quality through induction loop is often better because
noises from the environment are not transmitted.
•
Switch your instrument to the telecoil program.
•
Choose a good spot. Reception is not clear in all locations; it depends on the position of the induction
loop. Watch for signs or try a different seat yourself.
•
After the service or show, switch your instrument back to the microphone program. You will now hear
through the microphone again.
•
If the sound of your hearing instrument in the telecoil program is very soft all the time, ask your hearing
care practitioner to make an adjustment.
•
Your hearing care practitioner will gladly provide you with advice regarding an induction loop system at
home. Please ask for it.
3. If the manufacturer cannot issue a statement, we recommend keeping the magnet or a telephone equip-
ped with the magnet 30 cm (12”) away from magnetically sensitive devices (e.g. pacemakers).
4. High distortion during dialing or phoning may mean that the magnet is not in the optimal position relative
to the telephone receiver. To avoid the issue, please move the magnet to another place on the telephone
receiver.
5. Only use magnets supplied by Beltone
•
Listen to the dail tone and move the handset a little to find the position that gives the best reception.
•
After completing the phone call, switch your instrument back to the microphone program.
If the phone has a poor telecoil signal, use the microphone program. Do not hold the handset too tightly
against your ear since this might cause ’whistling’.
