Using Assistive Listening (Tele-Loop) Systems
Many gathering places are equipped with assistive listening (tele-loop) systems, for
example, in schools, theaters and houses of worship. To take advantage of a tele-loop
system, select the telecoil program. When the telecoil program has been selected,
you will be able to hear a clean sound signal via the tele-loop system. If the instru-
ment goes dead in the telecoil program, this may be because the loop system is not
operating.
If a school, theater or house of worship does not have a tele-loop system, try and sit
as close as possible to the front and use one of the microphone programs.
Removing/Inserting the Battery
Open the battery compartment completely by pressing the
tab on the base of the instrument with your fingertip until the
battery door snaps partly open, then put your fingernail under
the nail grip and pull gently to open it completely. Remove the
used battery from the battery compartment.
Tip
: Hold the instrument over a table or a soft surface in case
the battery falls out.
Remove the film from a new battery and place the new bat-
tery into the battery compartment, matching the plus (+) sign
on flat side of the battery to the plus sign in the battery compartment. A magnifying
glass and good lighting may be helpful in seeing these small markings.
The correct battery size for your RIE instruments is a 10A. For future reference, enter
this information on the note page at the back of this guide.
Close the battery compartment tightly but do not use force - it should close very easily.
Your hearing system should now be on.
