PhoneNow precautions
Keep magnets out of reach of pets, children and
mentally challenged persons. Seek medical attention
if a magnet is swallowed.
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 (ex: pacemak-
ers) 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.
High distortion during dialing or telephone use may
indicate that the telephone receiver is being adversely
affected by the magnet. For better performance, relo-
cate the magnet to another place on the telephone
receiver.
Cell phone
If you use a cell phone you may experience a buzzing
or clicking noise. This is caused by a strong signal
generated by the cell phone. Consult with your hear-
ing healthcare professional to see if there are options

the acoustic phone program. Once the program is
selected, hold the telephone close to the microphone
of the hearing instrument as shown in the diagram on
page 12. You may need to reposition the telephone
handset slightly to find the best reception.
PhoneNow
The PhoneNow function is available on some hearing
instrument models and allows your hearing instru-
ment to automatically switch to the telecoil or acoustic
phone program when a telephone receiver is raised to
the ear. When the telephone receiver is moved away
from the ear, the hearing instrument automatically
returns to the previous listening program. PhoneNow
allows you to use the telephone in a normal manner.
You will hear a beep whenever the PhoneNow feature
automatically switches the hearing instrument into or
out of your telephone program. Experiment with vari-
ous telephone placements to find the best position
for reliable PhoneNow activation and optimal hearing
on the telephone.
PhoneNow magnets
While some telephone receivers produce a magnetic
field strong enough to activate the PhoneNow fea-
ture, other telephone receivers require an additional
magnet to be placed on the telephone receiver. The
ideal placement of the magnet may vary with different
phones. As a result, some experimentation may be
required in order to identify the optimal magnet place-
ment. Once you have identified the desired location
for the magnet:
