How to select the programs
MUSIC Pro has 4 hearing programs. Program 1 to 3 is
selected with the program button. Program 4 is activated by
the audio shoe. Each time when the instrument diverts
between the programs, the respective program is confirmed
by beep tones. The number of beep tones is identical with
the selected program. That means when program “3“ is
selected, three beep tones are heard.

Telecoil
The telecoil is intended for telephone conversations and for
using induction loops, e.g. in churches, theaters or lecture
rooms. In order to be able to use the telephone coil, your
telephone also must be suitable for hearing instruments and
emit an adequate magnetic field. It is mostly older telephones
which meet these requirements.
Unfortunately, modern phones, particularly cordless telephones
and mobile phones, do NOT all emit a magnetic field. In these
cases we recommend that you use the normal hearing programs
for telephone conversations (see also pages 53/54).

Safety note for instruments with audio input
The audio input can only be connected to power supplied
devices if they fulfil at least the safety provisions of
IEC 65 / DIN VDE 0860.
Your hearing instrument has an audio input.This enables
accessories to be connected. In this way you can understand
better in certain hearing situations.
The contacts for the audio input are located under the type
plate. Before using the audio input for the first time the
covering type plate must be exchanged against the supplied
type plate providing openings for the audio contacts.Your
hearing instrument specialist will do this for you.The coloured
type plates can be used to identify your left (blue) and right
(red) hearing instrument.
Your hearing instrument recognises immediately when an
audio shoe is fitted and diverts then automatically to pro-
gram ”4”. You can notice this by the four beep tones .
Fitting the audio shoe to the hearing instrument
Hook the audio shoe in from the front and press it to the
rear into the detent on the inner curve of the instrument.
