Page 23: Good Advice
GooD ADVICe SCOLA TEACH is primarily intended for educational environments, but can also be used in other situations where noise, poor acoustics or the like make listening difficult.

Microphone types other than omnidirectional are available as optional accessories to optimise the speech signal. For group work, or if several teachers are present, we recommend the use of the Team Teaching function.

Page 25: Care And Maintenance
CARe AnD MAIntenAnCe In general, the SCOLA™ FM system should be cared for in the same way as the hearing aid. It is a good idea to clean and remove dirt and debris from the FM system on a daily basis. There are also some special precau- tions which should be taken. -
Page 26: Warnings
WARnInGs WARNING • Make sure that the batteries for the hearing aid and for the SCOLA TEACH are kept out of reach of children, who might place them in their mouths. • Discard used batteries carefully. • Do not change batteries in front of children, and do not let them see where you keep your supply. -
Page 27: In Case Of Malfunction
In CAse oF MALFUnCtIon With proper use and maintenance, your SCOLA™ FM system will give you years of reliable service. The fol- lowing pages contain some brief advice to follow if you experience problems with your SCOLA FM system. Be- fore contacting the hearing care professional where you acquired your SCOLA FM system, please follow the advice below:... - Page 28 If there is noise in the hearing aid, it could be because: • You are at or beyond the limit of the operating range of SCOLA TEACH. Reduce the distance between the SCOLA TEACH and SCOLA receiver. • Noise and whistling are interfering with reception, possibly because two or more FM transmitters are transmitting on the same channel as your receiving channel.
- Page 29 If there is no sound from the audio equipment, but the sound from the SCOLA TEACH microphone signal is okay, it could be because: • The audio lead is not correctly plugged into the au- dio jack on the SCOLA TEACH or audio equipment. Check that it is correctly plugged in.
- Page 30 If the battery does not charge and the display does not indicate that the battery is charging, it could be because: • There is no power in the socket. Check that the socket functions. • The charger lead or jack is defective. Consult the hearing care professional where the SCOLA FM system was acquired.

Page 31: Terms And Definitions Explained
teRMs AnD DeFInItIons eXPLAIneD Antenna The receiver and transmitter are both provided with an antenna. The microphone lead of SCOLA TEACH also serves as an antenna, and should therefore always be connected, even when only the audio input function is being used. Turn off the microphone if the microphone signal caus- es disturbance. - Page 32 Battery - SCOLA TEACH One AA battery is required for SCOLA TEACH. The re- chargeable battery included is a nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) type battery. It is environmentally friendly and does not contain heavy metals. The contact surface at the negative pole ensures that only this type of battery can be charged in SCOLA TEACH.
- Page 33 WARNING If you use other types of rechargeable batteries in SCOLA TEACH than the original, it must be charged in a separate charger . If you use a NON-rechargeable battery, then use only high qual- ity batteries, e .g . alkaline batteries . Always remove exhausted alkaline batteries from the battery compartment to limit the risk of leakage .

Page 34: Battery Status
IEC 60065, IEC 60950, IEC 60601-1 or equiv- alent safety standards . Widex strongly recommends that you always use a charger that is supplied by your Widex distributor to ensure safe and effi- cient use of your SCOLA TEACH . Battery status The battery power level is shown in the display. - Page 35 When the battery is almost drained, the battery sym- bol flashes in the display and the LED flashes red. Af- ter a while, the transmitter will turn off. If the receiver is connected, this can be clearly heard in the hearing aid. For optimum battery lifetime, we recommend not re- charging the battery until the battery indication is be- low two bars.

Page 36: Channel Synchronisation
SCOLA TEACH can transmit sound signals on most per- mitted frequencies in the frequency ranges 169 MHz– 176 MHz (H band), 180 MHz-187 MHz (J band) and 216 MHz-217 MHz (N band). NOTE • Do not use two transmitters (e.g. SCOLA TEACH) on the same channel/frequency in the same area. - Page 37 Teacher’s settings and Teacher’s synchronisation The SCOLA TEACH transmitter can wirelessly synchro- nise SCOLA FLEX with what we call the Teacher’s set- tings. These Teacher’s settings are temporary, and can only be reset by switching the hearing aid off and on. The purpose of this is to prevent small children from op- erating the mode switch and scan button on the SCOLA FLEX receiver during classes.
- Page 38 the transmitting channel, mode switch and scan but- ton settings. When a Teacher’s synchronisation is performed with- in the reply range of 10 to 30 cm, the settings of the SCOLA FLEX will be shown in the SCOLA TEACH dis- play.
- Page 39 If you have two hearing aids, they should both have a receiver. NOTE Do not use SCOLA on aircraft or in hospitals without permission . Interference Interference occurs when signals from two transmitters on the same frequency are mixed in the same receiver. When the signals are equally strong, the interference will be most noticeable.
- Page 40 Microphones for SCOLA TEACH Omnidirectional lapel microphone: Standard micro- phone included with SCOLA TEACH. The microphone is equally sensitive to sound from all directions. The following microphones are available as optional ac- cessories: Directional lapel microphone: Designed for noisy envi- ronments;...
- Page 41 Operating range The operating range of the FM system is highly depend- ent on the surroundings, including construction materi- als. The optimum operating range of 20-30 metres can be obtained in the open and with the microphone lead hanging freely. Inside buildings with steel and concrete walls and floors, the operating range may be reduced to ten metres.
- Page 42 WARNING Audio connector (3 .5 mm jack): The safety of the use of SCOLA TEACH is determined by any ex- ternal equipment that is connected to the SCOLA TEACH via the audio connector . When SCOLA TEACH is connected to ex- ternal mains-operated equipment via the audio connector, this equipment must comply with IEC60065, IEC60950, IEC 60601- 1 or equivalent safety standards .
- Page 43 Additional technical information: SCOLA TEACH has a built-in FM receiver which enables Team Teaching. The channel used for the receiver and the team microphone must be the same. This channel can be selected in the Team Teaching menu. Reception on the Team Teaching channel is only possible if the frequency distance between the SCOLA TEACH transmitting channel and the Team Teaching receiving channel is sufficiently large.
