PhoneNow usage
Telephones can be used in a normal manner. A beep signal will indicate that the PhoneNow
feature has automatically switched the hearing instrument to your telephone program. Initially,
you may need to move the telephone receiver slightly to find the best position for reliable
PhoneNow activation and good hearing on the telephone.
PhoneNow precautions
1. Keep magnets out of reach of pets, children and mentally challenges persons. If a magnet
is swallowed, please seek advice from a medical practitioner.
2. The magnet used to strengthen the magnetic field of a telephone receiver may affect some
medical devices or electronic systems. Always keep the magnet or a telephone equipped
with the magnet at least 30cm (12") away from pacemakers, credit cards and other mag-
netically sensitive devices.

3. High distortion during dialing or phoning may mean that the telephone receiver is stressed
by the magnet. To avoid any damage, please move the magnet to another place on the
telephone receiver.
tele-loop systems
Many places, such as theatres, houses of worship, and schools are equipped with tele-loop
systems. When using a telecoil programme 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 programme 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.
