INTRODUCTION
Our mission at Widex is to give people with hearing loss the same
opportunities for communication as people with normal hearing.
A Widex hearing aid combined with the SCOLA™ FM system helps
optimize listening comfort and speech comprehension.
SCOLA provides hearing aid users with additional opportunities
in difficult listening situations.
This FM system has been specifically developed for children and
educational environments, and these instructions therefore pri-
marily address parents and teachers.

This booklet contains important information and instructions. Please
read this booklet carefully before you start using the FM system.
NOTE
The FM system and accessories shown in these user instructions may
differ from the ones you have. We also reserve the right to make any

THE SCOLA SYSTEM
Using this FM system requires a SCOLA BUDDY receiver and a
SCOLA transmitter, which can either be a SCOLA TALK or a SCOLA
TEACH. The SCOLA BUDDY receiver and the transmitter must be
set to the same channel to work correctly.
SCOLA BUDDY RECEIVER
In SCOLA BUDDY’s standard mode, hearing aids with telecoils
are required, such as BTE or ITE models, bone-anchored hearing
aids or cochlear products. The hearing aid program must be set to
either the MT or the T program.
NOTE
Hearing aids without a telecoil will NOT work with SCOLA BUDDY.

10
SCOLA BUDDY can also receive FM signals from other FM trans-
mitters, as long as the same channel/frequency is used for trans-
mitting and receiving.
SCOLA BUDDY may be connected to devices such as MP3 players
using the audio cable.
If SCOLA BUDDY is configured to the headphone mode, head-
phones should be used rather than hearing aids.
