Introduction

The SCOLA™ FM communication system from Widex 
provides hearing aid users with additional opportuni-
ties in difficult listening situations. 

SCOLA

classmate

  and  the  other  parts  of  the  SCOLA 

system  are  developed  specifically  for  children  and 
educational  environments.  These  instructions  there-
fore primarily address parents and teachers.

SCOLA

classmate

As  a  supplement  to  the  SCOLA  FM  system, 
SCOLA

classmate

 helps ensure that the same channel 

is  used  for  both  transmitting  and  receiving  the  FM 
signal in a given location.

SCOLA

classmate

  can  be  of  particular  advantage  in 

schools where more than one student uses the SCOLA 
FM system.

At these schools, it is recommended that each class-
room uses a different FM channel to eliminate the risk 
of interference.

With SCOLA

classmate

 students using the SCOLA FM 

system in a classroom automatically pick up the FM 
signal from their teacher’s FM transmitter. 

From  its  position  on  a  classroom  wall  or  table, 
SCOLA

classmate

  automatically  and  wirelessly 

synchronises  SCOLA

flex

  and  other  synchronisation-

compatible  receivers  to  the  channel  being  used  for 
transmission in that particular classroom. 

All students wearing such receivers can then listen to 
the signal from their teacher’s FM microphone.
