More rapid adjustment is ob­tained by keeping the lever
pressed for several seconds.

When you raise the volume, you will hear a beep­tone for each step the volume is raised. When the

maximum adjustment level is reached, a steady
tone will sound until you release the lever.

When you lower the volume, you will hear a special
beep-tone for each step the volume is lowered.
When the minimum adjustment level is reached, a
steady tone will sound until you release the lever.

SENSO P7 is equipped with a computer which has
been designed to adjust its sound automatically in
accordance with the sound environment around
you. Several thousand times per second, SENSO
analyzes the surroundings and tailors its sound
accordingly. Therefore, with this digital instru­ment you only need to adjust the volume to obtain
as natural and comfortable a sound as possible.

Every time you turn your hearing aid on, the vol­ume will be at a pre-set “normal” setting. This
means that any volume adjustments you might
have made before turning the hearing aid off, will
no longer be in effect. Adjust the volume to the de­sired setting, if necessary, each time you turn the
aid on.

Important: If the volume in your hearing aid is
too loud, or if you wish any further information,
consult the Hearing Healthcare Professional where
you received your hearing aid.

M-T switch

This switch has three click po
sitions:

M MT T

“M” (Microphone only) for nor
mal use or normal listening.

“T” (Telecoil only) for telephone
use and/or for induction loop
use.

Center position is an “MT” position whereby the
microphone and telecoil are on simultaneously.
This position is useful for situations where simul­taneous microphone and telecoil reception is de­sired e.g., classrooms with inductive loops.
