NOTE:

The telecoil does not work without a teleloop (that is, an induction loop) or an HAC

telephone.

If you are having trouble hearing with the telecoil, ask you hearing care professional to adjust the
program.

If there is no sound from your hearing aids in a teleloop system with an active Telecoil function, the
teleloop system may not be turned on or may not be operating correctly.

The sound from the teleloop and the hearing aids' microphones can be mixed according to your
preference. Ask your hearing care professional for more details.

How to use the telecoil program

To use your telecoil program with hearing loop systems, follow these steps:

1.

Switch your hearing aids to the Telecoil program.

2.

Find a good spot. Reception is not clear in all locations, as it depends on the teleloop. Look for signals or
find another spot.

3.

If needed, adjust the volume.

4.

When you leave, switch to your preferred program.
