Quick Setup - Sarabec LA-240 User Manual

The LA-240 Loop System provides a practical solution for hearing aid users to listen more
easily to their TV or Audio equipment via the "T" or "Loop" facility of their hearing aid.
With no direct connection between the user and a TV or Audio equipment the user is able to
move freely within the looped area and listen comfortably to a TV or audio equipment without
the distractions of normal listening.
The Loop System is used in conjunction with a hearing aid with a "T" or "Loop" function found
on many 'behind the ear' or 'in the ear' hearing aids. The Loop system picks up the sound
from a TV via a microphone or direct connection and feeds it to the amplifier. The sound is
then passed to a loop of wire around the listening area, which in turn transmits the sound
inductively, "magnetic sound waves", to a hearing aid with the loop facility. The user may
then adjust the loop volume or tone to suit their own hearing preference without affecting
others.
The Loop System is supplied with a loop cable.
The loop cable is placed around a room that you want to listen in. The sound can be heard
anywhere inside the "looped" area and sometimes just outside the loop as well.
A loop pad (available as accessory) is an alternative to a loop cable and can be used to
create a localised or portable system to avoid interference with other systems or where
confidentiality is required.
