Page 23: Special Listening Situations
S pecial listening situations Setting the focus (optional) If you want to focus more directly on your conversation partner in front of you, or if you want to listen to the broader environment – the microphone-pattern adjustment gives you control over your listening preference. You can select different levels – from "focus to frontal position" (left picture) to "middle position" (center picture) to "hear all around" (right picture). Prerequisites: ■ You need to wear two hearing instruments. ■ On one of your hearing instruments the rocker switch needs to be set for the microphone-pattern adjustment by your Hearing Care Professional. Refer to section "Controls" for the setting of the rocker switch. With a suitable remote control and smartphone app you have even more control options. - Page 24 Setting the focus manually: If you have several hearing programs, change to hearing program 1. Press the rocker switch that is set for this function. The mid level is active by default.

Page 25: On The Phone
On the phone When you are on the phone, hold the telephone receiver slightly above your ear. The hearing instrument and telephone receiver have to be aligned. Turn the receiver slightly so that the ear is not completely covered. T elephone program You may prefer a certain volume when using the phone. Ask your Hearing Care Professional to configure a telephone program. Switch to the telephone program whenever you are on the phone or use the automatic program switch. If a telephone program or the automatic program switch are configured for your hearing instruments, it is listed in section "Settings". ... - Page 26 Automatic program switch (Autophone or XPhone) Your hearing instrument can automatically select the telephone program when you bring the telephone handset close to the hearing instrument. XPhone even transmits the call into both ears. When you are finished speaking on the phone, move the handset away from the hearing instrument and microphone mode will re-engage. If you want to use this function, ask your Hearing Care Professional to do the following: ■ Activate the Autophone or the XPhone function. ■ Check the telephone receiver’s magnetic field. For the automatic program switch, your hearing instrument detects the telephone receiver’s magnetic field. Not all telephones produce a magnetic field strong enough to activate this function. In this case, you can use the Autophone magnet, which is available as an accessory, and attach it to the telephone receiver. See the Autophone magnet user guide for instructions on how to position the magnet. NOTICE Use the approved Autophone magnet only. Ask your Hearing Care Professional for this accessory.

Page 27: Audio Induction Loops
Audio induction loops Some telephones and public places like theatres offer the audio signal (music and speech) via an audio induction loop. With this system, your hearing instruments can directly receive the desired signal – without distracting noise in the environment. You can usually recognize audio induction loop systems by certain signs. Ask your Hearing Care Professional to configure a telecoil program. Switch to the telecoil program whenever you are in a place with an audio induction loop. If a telecoil program is configured for your hearing instruments, it is listed in section "Settings". T elecoil program and remote control NOTICE For instruments with wireless connectivity: When the telecoil program is active, the remote control may cause a pulsing noise. Use the remote control with a distance greater than 10 cm (4 inches). -
Page 28: 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. As an alternative, you may use an audio streaming device (accessory) with a plug for FM receivers. 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. - Page 29 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.
