Congratulations on the purchase of your
new Phone Adapter 2 wireless accessory.
Your Phone Adapter 2 is intended to be used
together with Sonic SoundGate devices and
Sonic hearing instruments. This enables
you to communicate wirelessly with a phone
conversation partner via a landline phone
(analogue/PSTN). Great care and attention
has been paid to ensure that your device
has the highest quality and is easy to use
and maintain.

Please read the entire contents of this booklet before
using your Phone Adapter 2. It contains instructions
and important information about its use and handling.

General Warnings

Familiarize yourself with the following general
warnings before using your Phone Adapter 2.

Products to be connected to external equipment

The safety of the use of the Phone Adapter 2

with the auxiliary input cable is determined by
the external signal source. When the input cable
is connected to mains-operated equipment,
this equipment must comply with IEC-60065,
IEC-60601, IEC-60950, or equivalent safety
standards.

The Phone Adapter 2 is designed to comply

with the most stringent Standards of International
Electromagnetic Compatibility. However,
the Phone Adapter 2 may cause interference
with other medical devices. Please contact
relevant personnel to obtain permission before
using the Phone Adapter 2 in hospitals
or similar venues.

07

The Phone Adapter 2 is not a toy and therefore

should be kept out of the reach of children
or anyone else who might swallow parts or
otherwise cause injury to themselves. Special
attention should be paid to smaller components
in order to prevent children from swallowing
them and choking. If a part is swallowed, see
a doctor immediately.

The Phone Adapter 2 is intended for residential

use with an analog phone line. The Phone
Adapter 2 is not intended for use with digital
phones that may be part of a digital/commercial
system. Unintended use with a digital phone
system may result in lack of functionality,
malfunction or damage to the Phone Adapter 2
and will invalidate the warranty. If you are unsure
of the type of phone system in use in your home,
or at your workplace, we recommend that
you contact your local phone company before
installing the Phone Adapter 2.
