PhoneNow usage
Telephones can be used in a normal manner. A short melody will indicate that the Phone-
Now feature has automatically switched the hearing instrument to your telephone programme.
Initially, you may need to move the telephone receiver slightly to find the best position for reliable
PhoneNow activation and good hearing on the telephone.
PhoneNow precautions
1. Keep magnets out of reach of pets, children and individuals who are mentally challenged. If
a magnet is swallowed, please seek advice from a medical practitioner.
2. The magnet used to strengthen the magnetic field of a telephone receiver may affect
functionality of some medical devices or electronic systems. Always keep the magnet or
a telephone equipped with the magnet at least 30 cm (12”) away from pacemakers, credit
cards and other magnetically sensitive devices.
3. High distortion during dialing or phoning 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.
4. Only use magnets supplied by GN ReSound.
Tele-loop systems
Many places, such as theatres, houses of worship, and schools are equipped with tele-loop
systems. When using a telecoil programme with tele-loop systems, sound is picked up directly
and may improve speech understanding. If there is no sound from the hearing instruments in
a tele-loop system and with a telecoil programme activated, the tele-loop system may not be
turned on or is not operating correctly. If a facility is not equipped with a tele-loop system, sitting
as close as possible to the front may be helpful.
