Automatic Telephone and Automatic Telecoil
These options activate the telephone response
automatically when used with a hearing aid compatible
telephone . To use, place the telephone receiver on your
ear as you normally would and the hearing instrument will
select the telephone setting . It might be necessary to move
the telephone receiver slightly to find the best reception .
Once the telephone is removed from the ear, the hearing
instrument will switch back to the normal listening mode .
Note:
Consult with your hearing professional if your
device does not seem to switch to the telephone setting
automatically .

Operation
Telecoil and Manual Switching
Hearing instruments with a manual telecoil allow
you to switch the devices to telephone mode
when needed .
Manually switched telecoils
are activated by choosing
the telecoil setting using the
Multifunction button .
General Telephone Use
Some hearing instruments
work best by holding the
phone close to, but not fully
covering your ear . In some
instances, if you encounter
whistling (feedback), tilt the
receiver at an angle until the
whistling stops . Additionally,
the hearing instrument in the
non-phone ear (ear opposite
the phone) may switch to a
telephone setting to reduce
background sounds . Your
hearing professional can
provide instructions and
techniques for your specific
needs .
