Audio Input - Siemens Nitro User Manual

To operate, bring the telephone handset close to the hearing
instrument. The telecoil will automatically engage to the
presence of the electromagnetic signal from the telephone.
When you are finished speaking on the phone, move the
handset away from the hearing instrument and the microphone
mode will re-establish itself.
AutoPhone magnet accessory
There is an AutoPhone magnet accessory available for your
telephone that can be used with the AutoPhone feature of your
hearing instrument. Ask your Hearing Care Professional about this
accessory and if it is appropriate for your individual hearing care
needs.
You must use the original magnet provided with your hearing
instrument. Using other magnets may cause irreversible damage
to the electronics of your hearing instrument.
Note: When magnets are properly cared for, they are safe to use
and can last a lifetime. However, the following guidelines
should be followed while using these magnets.
• Magnets can pose risks to electronics and magnetic storage
media when placed in close proximity.
• Be careful not to place magnets near computers, color
monitors, television sets, floppy disks, video/audio tape, and
other electronic equipment.
• Magnets may interfere with the operation of life support
systems, such as pacemakers, magnetic valves, etc.
• Make certain to maintain a distance of at least 4 inches between
the magnet and the area of your support system.
• Keep magnets out of the reach of children or pets.
• If accidentally swallowed, seek medical attention.

Audio input

Your Siemens hearing instruments may be equipped with audio
input capability. This enables you to connect your hearing
instruments to other audio sources such as an FM system, tape
recorder, television, or infrared system. It can be useful for adults
in difficult listening situations and for children in classrooms.
Because the sound is coming directly from the sound source
to the hearing instrument, the signal is clearer and unaffected
by poor room acoustics. Ask your Hearing Care Professional if
this feature may be appropriate for your needs. There are two
methods for attaching and removing the audio input shoe. Refer
to the next page for the method you should follow.
WARNING
Risk of injuries caused by electric shock!
Connect audio input only to devices conform to IEC 60065
(IEC-Standard for audio, video and other electronic devices).
Attaching the audio shoe
1. Open the battery compartment.
2. Pull the cover out. The shape of the cover depends on your
type of hearing instrument.
