Listen to radio or tv
When listening to the TV or the radio, start out by listening to news commentators since they usually speak
clearly, then try other programmes.
If you find it difficult to listen to TV or radio, your hearing care professional will be able to give you advice on
available accessories to enhance your listening capabilities for TV and radio.
Using Beltone hearing instruments with smart phone apps
i
Intended use of smart phone apps:
Beltone smart phone apps are intended to be used with Beltone wireless hearing aids. Beltone smart phone
apps send and receive signals from the Beltone wireless hearing aids via smart phones for which the apps
have been developed.
Use with smart phone apps:
•
Notifications of app updates should not be disabled, and it is recommended that the user installs all
updates to ensure that the app will function correctly and will be kept up to date.
•
The app must only be used with Beltone devices for which it is intended, and Beltone take no responsi-
bility if the app is used with other devices.
Cellular phones
Your hearing instrument is designed to comply with the most stringent Standards of International Electro-
magnetic Compatibility. However, not all cell phones are hearing instrument compatible. The varying de-
gree of disturbance can be due to the nature of your particular cellular phone or of your wireless telephony
service provider.
If you find it difficult to obtain a good result while using your cellular phone, your hearing care professional
will be able to give you advice on available accessories to enhance listening capabilities.
Audio input (64DW Only)
Your hearing instrument is equipped with a direct audio input fa cility. Direct audio input allows direct con-
nection of sound sources, a radio, television or even school equipment, to your hearing instrument. Often,
this will improve sound quality.
•
The sound source is connected to your instrument with a cable and an audio shoe.
•
The instrument automatically detects the direct audio input source. The direct audio
input supports the systems for the wireless use as well.
•
In this program you will hear no sounds from the microphone, therefore most
environmental sounds will be lost. If you wish, your hearing care practitioner
can change the setting in such a way that you hear the microphone and the
direct audio input simultaneously.
Note: For Hearing Instruments in the True family (Models TRUXXXX-YYY), when
the Direct Audio Input has been activated, by correctly placing the Audio shoe, 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.
i
External devices connected to the electrical input must be safe according to
the requirements of IEC 60601-1-1, IEC 60065, or IEC 60950-1, as appropriate.
