INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing your GeemarcTM loopHEARTM. This is a 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 loopHEARTM 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 loopHEARTM.
Its is important that you read the instructions below in order to use your GeemarcTM loopHEARTM to its full potential. Keep this user guide in a safe place for future reference.
