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.

5
NOTE
Your SCOLA TEACH device and accessories may not look exactly as il-
lustrated in this booklet. We furthermore reserve the right to make any
changes considered necessary.

THE SCOLA™ FM SYSTEM
The SCOLA™ FM system consists of a SCOLA TEACH transmit-
ter and one or two SCOLA receivers. The SCOLA TEACH transmit-
ter’s primary function is to transmit sound signals from the micro-
phone or audio equipment to the SCOLA receiver(s). The operat-
ing range is up to 20-30 metres, depending on the surround-
ings. The transmission power is very low and limited by national
regulations. It has no physiological side effects.
SCOLA TEACH is available in two versions:
SCOLA TEACH44 with the Team Teaching function, and
SCOLA TEACH33 without the Team Teaching function. The
Team Teaching version can easily be recognised by its key
on the keypad.
The SCOLA TEACH transmitter and SCOLA receiver(s) must be on
the same channel in order to work together.

PREPARING THE SCOLA TEACH

Remove the battery cover
and insert the battery
provided .
Be sure to insert the bat-
tery correctly, with the

must be charged for at least
14 hours.
With the charger plug-ged
into the socket, connect the
charger to the SCOLA TEACH

bol will be shown in the display and the
LED will be red.
NOTE

17
Connecting the microphone
Plug the microphone lead into the microphone jack.
The microphone lead serves as an antenna . For optimum
operating range , make sure that the lead hangs as freely as
possible.
The standard version of the microphone is omnidirectional, which
means that it picks up sound equally from all directions.
Positioning
SCOLA TEACH can be placed in a pocket or clipped onto a belt.
The microphone can be clipped onto clothes or hung around
the neck on the neck cord. The standard microphone can also
be replaced by one of the other microphones available as
optional accessories.

Press and hold down the on/off key on SCOLA TEACH for one sec-
ond until the LED is green.
The user’s name or ”WIDEX SCOLA” will appear on the display for
approx. two seconds. SCOLA TEACH is turned off by holding the
on/off key down for one second.

ally be the channel last used, unless programmed differently. To

NOTE
Note that interference may occur if other transmitters are using the
same channel as you.
Synchronising SCOLA FLEX or SCOLA BUDDY
If the receiving channel differs from the transmitting channel of
SCOLA TEACH, the former can be synchronised to the latter.
Press briefly. If there are one or more SCOLA receivers within
a range of approx. 80 cm, the receiving channel will be synchro-
nised to the transmitting channel (standard synchronisation ).
When the SCOLA receiver picks up the synchronisation signal,
the user will hear a beep, confirming the connection, even if the
receiving channel has not been changed.
The option of extended synchronisation (teacher’s synchronisa-
tion ) is also available.
