AutoPhone

The function allows your hearing instrument to automatically switch to your 
telephone program 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 program.

Placement of AutoPhone magnets

In order to place magnets 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. If necessary, move the magnet to another position 

to improve ease of use and comfort while speaking.

4.  Use only recommended cleaning agents to clean the telephone prior to placing the magnet on the 

phone.

AutoPhone usage

Telephones can be used in a normal manner. A short melody will indicate that the AutoPhone feature has 
automatically switched to the program 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.

AutoPhone precautions

i

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 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.

3.  If the manufacturer cannot issue a statement, we recommend keeping the magnet or a telephone equip-

ped with the magnet 30 cm (12”) away from magnetically sensitive devices (e.g. pacemakers).

4.  High distortion during dialing or talking 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. 

5.  Only use magnets supplied by Beltone.
