Page 4 The SCOLA™ FM communication system from Widex provides hearing aid users with additional opportuni- ties in difficult listening situations. SCOLA CLASSMATE and the other parts of the SCOLA system are developed specifically for children and educational environments. These instructions therefore primarily address parents and teachers.
Page 5: Scola Classmate
CLASSMATE helps ensure that the same channel is used for both transmitting and receiving the FM signal in a given location. SCOLA CLASSMATE can be of particular advantage in schools where more than one student uses the SCOLA FM system.

Page 8: How Does Scola Classmate Work
This is done with a SCOLA TEACH33, SCOLA TEACH44 or SCOLA PROGRAMMER. After one minute, the SCOLA CLASSMATE starts to send out the channel synchronization signal. This sig- nal will be repeated 3 times per second and will set all SCOLA FLEX or Amigo ear-level FM receivers within range to the programmed channel.
Page 9: Response To Synchronization Signals
FM switch or re- move the SCOLA FLEX from the hearing aid. When the user returns to the lesson, the SCOLA CLASSMATE will set the SCOLA FLEX to the channel used in that class- room and switch on the direct audio program, allowing the FM signal to become audible.
Page 10: Installation
We recommend that it is placed about 1.6 yards above the floor. The best way to ensure correct channel synchroniza- tion is to place the SCOLA CLASSMATE close to the en- trance door. If a wall socket is not within reach of the power supply...
Page 11: Wall Mounting
Wall mounting 1. Find a convenient location for mounting the SCOLA CLASSMATE. 2. Use the wall mount as a guide to mark the loca- tion of the two holes. 3. Drill the holes in the wall. 4. In case of brick, concrete or similar walls, drill the holes with a diameter that will allow the fasteners to fit into the holes.
Page 12 7. Plug the power supply into the wall socket and switch on the mains power. 8. Align the SCOLA CLASSMATE with the wall mount. 9. When the SCOLA CLASSMATE has been placed on the wall mount, slide the unit first to the left and then downwards to lock it in place.

It is a good idea to clean the FM system on a daily basis. Furthermore, there are special precautions to be taken. 1. Clean the SCOLA CLASSMATE with a dry, soft cloth. 2. Do not disassemble the SCOLA CLASSMATE, other SCOLA units or the hearing aid, as this will void the guarantee.
Page 18 6. Please be sure to keep all SCOLA units, accessories and hearing aids out of the reach of children, who might place them in their mouths. 7. Do not use SCOLA CLASSMATE on airplanes or in hospitals without permission. 8. If you use the SCOLA FM system together with...
