telecoil
(optional on some ITC, ITE , and remote microphone models)
If equipped, a telecoil can be activated by your hearing care professional and accessed through one of
the additional programmes. A telecoil picks up a telephone’s magnetic signal and converts it to sound. An
optional telephone programme may help to improve speech understanding on the telephone. When using
a telecoil programme, the receiver of the telephone may need to be held closer to the hearing instrument.
The handset of the telephone may need to be moved to slightly different positions in order to find the best
reception.
Listen to radio or tV
When listening to the TV or the radio, start out by listening to news commentators since they usually speak
clearly, then try other programmes.
If you find it difficult to listen to TV or radio, your hearing care professional will be able to give you advice on
available accessories to enhance your listening capabilities for TV and radio.
Cellular phones
Your hearing instrument is designed to comply with the most stringent Standards of International
Electromagnetic Compatibility. However, not all cell phones are hearing instrument compatible. The vary-
ing degree of disturbance can be due to the nature of your particular cellular phone or of your wireless
telephony service provider.
If you find it difficult to obtain a good result while using your cellular phone, your hearing care professional
will be able to give you advice on available accessories to enhance listening capabilities.
Phonenow (not available in Vo910-C and Vo710-C instruments)
The PhoneNow function, allows your hearing instrument to automatically switch to your tele phone pro-
gramme when a telephone receiver is raised to the ear. When the telephone receiver is removed from the
ear, the hearing instrument automatically returns to the previous listening programme.

the PhoneNow function. In order to place PhoneNow magnet properly:
1. Clean the telephone receiver thoroughly.
2. Hold the telephone vertically, in a position similar to when making a
telephone call.

If necessary, move the magnet to another position to improve ease of use and comfort while speaking.

add additional PhoneNow magnets.

Only use recommended cleaning agent to clean the telephone prior to placing the magnet on the
phone in order to obtain best possible adherence.
PhoneNow usage
Telephones can be used in a normal manner. A short melody will indicate that the PhoneNow feature has
automatically switched the hearing instrument to your telephone programme. Initially, you may need to
move the telephone receiver slightly to find the best position for reliable PhoneNow activation and good
hearing on the telephone.
