Sarabec Neck Loop NL5
(201-120)
Introduction
The neck loop is designed for use with our Crescendo 20
plus range of systems.
The neck loop is for use with hearing aids that have the
"T" (Loop pickup) facility.
The neck loop can be used with most TVs, Radios or other
equipment that have a 3.5mm stereo headphone socket
which is intended for low impedance headphones.
It is not suitable for use with the Crescendo 10 or
Crescendo 20 (grey/blue) range.
Your Neck Loop is supplied ready for use
.
Instructions for use
This neck loop now incorporates a break-away
safety feature, please ensure that it is secure.
Plug the Neck loop into the headset socket of the
Crescendo amplifier.
Adjust the volume of the equipment to the normal listening
level. Switch your hearing aid to the "T" or "MT" position
and adjust your hearing aid volume control if necessary.
The neck loop can also be plugged into the headphone or
earphone socket of a Hi-Fi., TV or Radio.
On some systems this will automatically turn off the
internal loudspeaker. There may be a switch or separate
socket which allows the internal speaker to be left on.
Check the equipment handbook for more specific
instructions.
The maximum continuous power input should not exceed
0.5 watts. Too high an input will damage the neck loop
and also overload the hearing aid causing distortion.
Adaptors are widely available to connect the neck loop to
other types of output sockets.
Troubleshooting
When using the neck loop you may find that as you move
your head the sound level goes up and down. This is
found with some hearing aids that have a very directional
loop pickup. Wearing the neck loop “off the shoulder” or
putting the neck loop on the back of the chair on which
you are sitting may reduce this effect. If you are using a
body worn aid the best signal will be received when the
plastic moulding is placed on or near the aid itself.
