(tele-loop) SyStemS
Many gathering places are equipped with assistive lis-
tening (tele-loop) systems, for example, schools, the-
aters and houses of worship. To take advantage of a
tele-loop system, select the telecoil program. When
the telecoil program has been selected, you will be
able to hear a clean sound signal via the tele-loop sys-
tem. If you are unable to hear the signal from the tele-
loop while in the telecoil program, check to determine
that the loop system is working properly.
If a school, theater or house of worship does not have
a tele-loop system, try to sit as close as possible to
the speaker and use one of the microphone programs.
low batteRy IndICatoR
Your hearing healthcare professional can activate a low
battery indicator in your hearing instrument. The hear-
ing instrument will reduce amplification and play a mel-
ody of beeps if the battery voltage drops below a criti-
cal threshold. This signal will recur every five minutes
until the hearing instrument automatically switches off.
The timing of the low battery indicator can vary slightly,
depending on the type of battery used. It is recom-
mended that you keep spare batteries on hand.
