ReSound Custom Remote Microphone
phonenow™
The PhoneNow™ function is available on some hearing
instrument models and allows your hearing instrument to
automatically switch to the telecoil or acoustic phone pro-
gram when a telephone receiver is raised to the ear. When
the telephone receiver is moved away from the ear, the
hearing instrument automatically returns to the previous lis-
tening program. PhoneNow allows you to use the telephone
in a normal manner. You will hear a beep whenever the
PhoneNow feature automatically switches the hearing
instrument into or out of your telephone program. Experi-
ment with various telephone placements to find the best
position for reliable PhoneNow activation and optimal hear-
ing on the telephone.
PhoneNow magnets
While some telephone receivers produce a magnetic field
strong enough to activate the PhoneNow feature, other
tele phone receivers require an additional magnet to be
placed on the telephone receiver. The ideal placement of
the magnet may vary with different phones. As a result,
some experimentation may be required in order to identify
the optimal magnet placement. Once you have identified the
desired location for the magnet:
1. Clean the telephone receiver thoroughly.
2. Remove the paper
backing from the
adhesive pad on
the magnet.
3. Place the adhesive side
of the magnet against
the phone and firmly
press the magnet into
place.
PhoneNow precautions
Keep magnets out of reach of pets, children and mentally
challenged persons. Seek medical attention if a magnet is
swallowed.
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
sensitive 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.
High distortion during dialing or telephone use may indicate
that the telephone receiver is being adversely affected by
the magnet. For better performance, relocate the magnet to
another place on the telephone receiver.
CeLLuLar phones
Your hearing instrument is designed to comply with the
most stringent Standards of International Electromagnetic
Compatibility. However, not all cellular phones are hearing
instrument compatible. The varying degree of disturbance
can be due to the nature of your particular cellular phone or
your wireless telephone service provider.
If you are not satisfied with the results while using your cellu-
lar phone, your hearing care professional will be able to give
you advice on available accessories to enhance listening
capabilities.
