INTRODUCTION
SCOLA provides hearing aid users with additional opportunities
in difficult listening situations.
The SCOLA FM system has been developed specifically for chil-
dren and educational environments. These instructions therefore
primarily address parents and teachers.
The symbol refers to the section ‘Terms and definitions
explained’, where you will find detailed explanations of functions
and technical terms.
WARNING
This booklet contains important information and instructions. Read
this booklet carefully before you start using the device.

THE SCOLA™ FM SYSTEM
The SCOLA™ FM system consists of a SCOLA transmitter and
one or two SCOLA FLEX or SCOLA FLEX-i receivers.
The SCOLA transmitter’s primary function is to transmit sound
signals from the microphone or audio equipment to the receiver.
The operating range is up to 22-33 yards, depending on the
surroundings.
The receiver’s function is to receive sound signals from a SCOLA
transmitter or other FM transmitters.
For Widex behind-the-ear hearing aids, the shoe and receiver are
assembled to form an integrated unit, henceforth referred to as
an FM shoe. For use with other behind-the-ear hearing aid types,
the receiver (only SCOLA FLEX) can be provided with a universal
three-pin plug to fit an audio shoe.

The SCOLA FLEX-i receiver is connected directly to the hearing
aid without the use of any FM shoe.
The SCOLA transmitter and receiver must be on the same chan-
nel to work together.
