Auto-Phone usage
Telephones can be used in a normal manner. A short melody will indicate that the Auto-Phone feature has
automatically switched to the programme designed specifically for listening on the phone. Initially, you may
need to move the telephone receiver slightly to find the best position for reliable Auto-Phone activation and
good hearing on the telephone. If the switching mechanism is not reliable or consistent, additional magnets
can be placed on the telephone.
Auto-Phone warnings
i
Keep magnets out of reach of pets, children and mentally challenged persons. If a magnet is swallowed,
please seek advice from a medical practitioner.
The magnet may affect some medical devices or electronic systems. The manufacturer of any magneti-
cally 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.
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).
Auto-Phone precautions
i
High distortion during dialing or phoning may mean that the magnet is not in the optimal position relative
to the telephone receiver. To avoid this issue, please move the magnet to another place on the telephone
receiver.
Only use magnets supplied by Beltone.
Auto-Phone
The Auto-Phone function, allows your hearing instrument to automatically
switch to your telephone programme when a telephone receiver is raised to
the ear. When the telephone receiver is removed from the ear, the hearing
instrument automatically returns to the previous listening programme.
Placement of Auto-Phone magnets
Place the Auto-Phone magnet on your telephone receiver to allow opera-
tion of the Auto-Phone function. In order to place the Auto-Phone magnet
properly:
1. Clean the telephone receiver thoroughly.
2. Hold the telephone vertically, in a position similar to when making a
telephone call.
3. Place the magnets just below the telephone receiver. Make sure not to
cover the microphone openings. If necessary, move the magnet to another
position to improve ease of use and comfort while speaking.
4. If you are not satisfied with the strength of Auto-Phone, you can reposition the Auto-Phone magnet or
add additional Auto-Phone magnets.
i
Only use the recommended cleaning agent to clean the telephone prior to placing the magnet on the
phone, in order to obtain the best possible adherence.
