Using the telephone
• Switch your instrument to the telecoil program.
• Hold your telephone handset behind your ear, close to the
hearing instrument (1 inch, or 2-3 cm.) and slightly tilt the
receiver outwards.
• Listen to the dialing tone and move the handset a little to
find the position that give the best reception.
• If needed, and if your hearing instrument has it, turn the volume wheel up or
down.
• After completing the phone call, switch your instrument back to the microphone
program.
If the phone used has poor telecoil signal, use the microphone program. Do not hold
the handset too tightly against your ear since this might cause ‘whistling’.
T-program (optional)
- ITC/ITC HPG and ITE HPG
Your ITC instrument or ITE instrument may have a built in function, the telecoil,
enabling in many cases an improved use of the telephone and better hearing in
those churches or halls where an induction loop system is installed.
In order to activate this function, the telecoil program has to be selected. In this pro-
gram you will hear no sounds from the microphone, therefore most environmental
sounds will be lost.
