procedures and handset setting. They generally
apply as well for users with cochlear implants:
Optimize Your Handset Position and
Orientation
While in a phone call slide your phone up and
down, then left and right until best microphone
coupling is obtained. You also may need to adjust
your hearing aid (HA) volume setting.
If your HA has a telecoil, activate its switch, then
also rotate the handset as illustrated to align the
telecoils.

Note: Some automatically switched hearing aids
may need an auxiliary switching magnet.
If you are unsure whether your HA is telecoil
equipped or needs an auxiliary magnet, please
contact your HA user guide, professional or
supplier.
Approximate telecoil location is
within 6-13 mm of this location.
Approximate telecoil location
is just above the battery.
Optimize Your Handset Antenna Position
Your phone's rating for HA compatibility is
determined with the antenna extended if it has an
extendable antenna. However acceptable use
might occur with the antenna retracted. Test your
handset in both antenna positions when the
handset is in the optimum orientation.
