INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on purchasing your Geemarc
portable induction loop system that can be used in a variety of locations,
both public and private.

This tough but light unit is easily transported and an integral battery
enables it to be freestanding. This battery is both replaceable and
rechargeable and long usage can be expected (up to 24 hours). The loop
is contained within the unit hence there are no trailing wires. The
loopHEAR

TM

will cover an area of approximately 1m2 /3.3ft2. There is an
integral microphone that picks up speech and conversations. An external
microphone may be added if required (supplied). This induction loop
system is designed to assist hearing aid users by transmitting direct to
their telecoil equipped hearing aid (which must be switched to the ‘T’
position).

Note: users of digital hearing aids must make sure their aids have
been programmed for use with the ‘T’ setting.

The outer carton has been specially designed as a handy carrying case. It
is recommended to retain this carrying case to enable safe transportation
when transporting the loopHEAR

.

Its is important that you read the instructions below in order to use your
