PhoneNow usage
Telephones can be used in a normal manner. A beep signal will indicate that the PhoneNow fea-
ture 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 warnings
1. Keep magnets out of reach of pets, children and mentally challenged 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.

tele-loop systems

Many places, such as theaters, 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.
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.

Direct audio input (optional)

Use of direct audio input (DAI), which enables a direct connection of the hearing instruments to
items such as television, radio, and remote microphones, may increase speech understanding for
some individuals. The sound source is connected to the hearing instruments by a cable or a wire-
less FM system to the audio boot. This accessory connects to the bottom of the hearing instru-
ments, and once properly clicked into place, the hearing instruments switch to DAI automatically.
