Telecoil (Optional) - ReSound SY312 User Manual

medical devices or electronic systems. The manufacturer of any magnetically sensitive
devices (e.g. pacemakers) should advise you regarding appropriate safety precautions
when using your hearing instrument and magnet in close proximity to the medical device or
electronic system in question. If the manufacturer cannot issue a statement, we recommend
keeping the magnet or a telephone equipped with the magnet 30 cm (12") away from
magnetically sensitive devices (e.g. pacemakers).
3. High distortion during dialing or phoning may mean that the magnet is not in the optimal
position relative to the telephone receiver. To avoid the issue, please move the magnet to
another place on the telephone receiver.
4. Only use magnets supplied by GN ReSound.

telecoil (optional)

If equipped, a telecoil can be activated by your hearing care professional and accessed through
one of the additional programs. A telecoil picks up a telephone's magnetic signal and converts
it to sound. An optional telephone program may help to improve speech understanding on the
telephone. When using a telecoil program, the receiver of the telephone may need to be held
closer to the hearing instrument. The handset of the telephone may need to be moved to slightly
different positions in order to find the best reception.
tele-loop systems
Many places, such as theatres, houses of worship, and schools are equipped with tele-loop
systems. When using a telecoil program with tele-loop systems, sound is picked up directly and
may improve speech understanding. If there is no sound from the hearing instruments in a tele-
loop system and with a telecoil program activated, the tele-loop system may not be turned on
or is not operating correctly. If a facility is not equipped with a tele-loop system, sitting as close
as possible to the front may be helpful.
