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 warnings
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 supplement the magnetic field of a telephone receiver may affect
some medical devices or electronic systems. The manufacturer of any magnetically sensi-
tive 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).
PhoneNow Precautions
1. 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.
2. Only use magnets supplied by GN ReSound
