INTRODUCTION

We hope you will be pleased with your SCOLA product.

SCOLA provides hearing aid users with additional opportunities

in difficult listening situations.

WARNING

This booklet contains important information and instructions. Read

this booklet carefully before you start using the device.

NOTE

Your SCOLA TALK device and accessories may not look exactly as illus-

trated in this booklet. We furthermore reserve the right to make any

changes considered necessary.

GETTING STARTED

To benefit fully from your SCOLA™ FM system, it is important that

you make yourself familiar with its functions.

It is therefore a good idea to consider the kind of situations in

which you will be using the FM system, and what would be the

best SCOLA TALK settings in different situations.

You will often obtain the best result from the FM system if others

around you help in taking an active part in using it. Your SCOLA

TALK could conveniently hang around the neck of the person you

are communicating with, while during dinner and conferences it

could be placed on the table. In order to determine the best set-

tings, it is a good idea to practice first with your family and friends

to become familiar with the various possibilities.

THE FM SYSTEM

An FM system is a wireless communication system which allows

the sound from the microphone (SCOLA TALK) to be sent directly

to the hearing aid via a small receiver (SCOLA FLEX or SCOLA

BUDDY), in the same way that a radio receives a signal from a

radio transmitter.

The SCOLA TALK FM transmitter:

SCOLA TALK transmits signals to one or more receivers. With the

external antenna, the operating range will be up to 22 yards in

ideal transmitting conditions. Without the external antenna, the

operating range will be up to 1 meter.

BATTERY INFORMATION

Battery type

Two AAA batteries are required for your SCOLA TALK. These can

either be rechargeable or standard alkaline non-rechargeable

batteries. If you have any questions about the type, acquisition

or use of batteries, please consult the hearing care professional

where you acquired your SCOLA™ FM system.

The rechargeable batteries included are nickel-metal-hydride

(NiMH) type batteries. They are environmentally friendly and

do not contain heavy metals. The contact surface at the nega-

tive pole ensures that only this type of battery can be charged

directly in SCOLA TALK.

WARNING

If you use other types of rechargeable batteries for your SCOLA TALK,

they must be charged in a separate charger. Of non-rechargeable bat-

teries, only alkaline batteries may be used. If you try to charge this type

of battery, all that will happen is that all the battery symbol bars will

start to flash in the display.

For optimum battery life, please charge the batteries for at least

10 hours the first time, before you begin using your SCOLA TALK.

BE SURE to change alkaline batteries as soon as they are

exhausted, to avoid battery leakage.

ALWAYS remember to remove the batteries – irrespective of type

– if the transmitter will not be used for several weeks.
