  • Page 23: Audio Input (Fm System)

    Audio input (FM system) With an audio input you can connect your hearing  instruments to an FM system. An FM system consists  of a transmitter and a receiver. It gathers speech at the  voice source (via a separate microphone) and transmits  the sound directly to the hearing instruments. The signal is clearer and unaffected by poor room  acoustics. This can be useful for adults in difficult  listening situations and for children in classrooms. Most FM systems allow for coupling with audio devices  like an MP3 player. Notes: ■  The battery compartment with audio input is available  as an accessory only for certain instrument types. Consult your Hearing Care Professional for further  information. ■  Ask your Hearing Care Professional to configure your  hearing instruments, for example: □  Adjust the mix of the audio input signal with  surrounding sounds. □  Configure the controls so that you can select  between audio input signal only, surrounding sound  only, or a mix of both signals. WARNING Risk of electric shock! Connect audio input only to a device conforming  to IEC 60065, the IEC-Norm for audio, video and  other electronic devices.
