INTRODUCTION

SCOLA provides hearing aid users with additional opportunities
in difficult listening situations.

The SCOLA FM system has been developed specifically for chil­dren 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.

4

NOTE
Your SCOLA TEACH device and accessories may not look exactly as il-

lustrated in this booklet. We f urthermore re serve the right to make any
changes considered necessary.

THE SCOLA™ FM SYSTEM

The SCOLA™ FM system  consists of a SCOLA TEACH transmit­ter and one or two SCOLA receivers. The SCOLA TEACH transmit­ter’s primary function is to transmit sound signals from the micro­phone or audio equipment to the SCOLA receiver(s). The operat­ing 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
on the keypad.

The SCOLA TEACH transmitter and SCOLA receiver(s) must be on
the same channel in order to work together.

21

Connecting audio equipment

SCOLA TEACH can be connected to audio equipment (radio, TV,
DVD, PC, etc.) with the audio lead provided. Connect the lead
from the audio input jack of SCOLA TEACH to the headphone
jack of the audio equipment. The sound signal volume is usually
adjusted using the volume control of the audio equipment. The
microphone should also be connected, as its lead serves as an
antenna.

When the microphone is turned on, it is possible to speak over the
sound from the audio equipment. When the microphone is turned
off, only the sound from the audio equipment will be heard.

If the jack does not fit your audio equipment, a lead with phono
plugs and/or a SCART plug  can be acquired as an extra acces­sory.

22

Battery and charging

One AA battery  is required for SCOLA TEACH. A rechargea­ble nickel-metal -hydride (NiMH) battery is included as a stand­ard accessory. Ordinary non-rechargeable batteries can also be
used, in which case we recommend the alkaline type. After its
first charge, the battery charge time is ten hours, providing power
for approximately ten hours of use. Battery status  is indicated
by the battery symbol in the display.

We recommend that you always have a spare battery with you in
case the rechargeable battery becomes drained.

GOOD ADVICE

SCOLA TEACH is primarily intended for educational environ­ments, but can also be used in other situations where noise, poor
acoustics or the like make listening difficult.

To benefit fully from the SCOLA FM system, it is important to:

• practise using the FM system and test the different settings in
familiar surroundings

• inform other people that you use an FM system with your
hearing aid, so that they can understand why they should talk
into the microphone, and how the system works

• select the right settings for SCOLA TEACH and the SCOLA
receiver(s)

The microphone should be placed as closely as
possible to the person speaking.
It is possible to listen to music from an MP3
player or the like by connecting the audio lead
from the SCOLA TEACH to the headphone jack of
the MP3 player. Leaving the microphone on
allows the child to hear music as well as any
speech into the microphone.

30

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

In general, the SCOLA™ FM system should be cared for in the
same way as the hearing aid. It is a good idea to clean and remove
dirt and debris from the FM system on a daily basis. There are also
some special precautions which should be taken.

• Remove any dirt from SCOLA TEACH with a dry, soft cloth.

• Do not disassemble any of the SCOLA products or hearing aid,
as this will void the guarantee.

• Do not use water, alcohol or the like to clean the FM system.

• Make sure that the microphone, audio and charger cords do
not become tangled up.

• Do not expose the SCOLA FM system to cosmetics, hair spray,
water, cleaning solutions or other chemicals.

31

WARNINGS

WARNING

• Make sure that the batteries for the hearing aid and for the SCOLA
TEACH are kept out of reach of children, who might place them in
their mouths.

• Discard used batteries carefully.

• Do not change batteries in front of children, and do not let them see
where you keep your supply.

32

IN CASE OF MALFUNCTION

With proper use and maintenance, your SCOLA™ FM system will
give you years of reliable service. The following pages contain
some brief advice to follow if you experience problems with your
SCOLA FM system. Before contacting the hearing care profes­sional where you acquired your SCOLA FM system, please follow
the advice below:

If there is no sound from the SCOLA FM system or the audio
equipment, or the sound is distorted, it could be because:

• The hearing aid, SCOLA TEACH or the SCOLA receiver(s) are
not set correctly.

Check to ensure that all the settings are correct for the desired
use, and that both the transmitter and receiver are turned on.

• SCOLA TEACH and the SCOLA receiver(s) are not set to the

same channel.

Check that the channel number in the display of the SCOLA
TEACH is the same as the receiving channel of the SCOLA
receiver by performing a channel synchronisation.

33

If there is noise in the hearing aid, it could be because:

• You are at or beyond the limit of the operating range of SCOLA
TEACH.

Reduce the distance between the SCOLA TEACH and SCOLA
receiver.

• Noise and whistling are interfering with reception, possibly

because two or more FM transmitters are transmitting on the
same channel as your receiving channel.

To avoid this type of interference, make sure that only one FM
transmitter is transmitting on the receiving channel.

Try turning off your SCOLA TEACH. If you hear another FM

signal, this is what is causing the noise. There are several ways
of avoiding interference:

• Turn on one FM transmitter only.

• Find another available channel and select this channel on

both SCOLA TEACH and the SCOLA receiver.

• Increase the distance between the interfering FM transmitter

until the interference stops.

34

If there is no sound from the audio equipment, but the sound
from the SCOLA TEACH microphone signal is okay, it could be
because:

• The audio lead is not correctly plugged into the audio jack on
the SCOLA TEACH or audio equipment.

Check that it is correctly plugged in.

• The signal from the audio equipment is too weak.
Turn up the volume of the sound signal on the audio equip­ment’s volume control, if possible.

If the battery is quickly drained of power even after a full charge
cycle, but the display indicates that the battery is charged, it
could be because:

• The battery is defective.
Contact the hearing care professional where the SCOLA FM
system was acquired, to have the battery changed. You can
use standard alkaline (non-rechargeable) batteries until this
is done.

35

If the battery does not charge and the display does not indicate
that the battery is charging, it could be because:

• There is no power in the socket.
Check that the socket functions.

• The charger lead or jack is defective.
Consult the hearing care professional where the SCOLA FM
system was acquired.

• The connecting terminals on the battery are dirty or defective.
Consult the hearing care professional where the SCOLA FM
system was acquired.

WARNING

Low battery can cause the sound transmission to suddenly stop.

36

TERMS AND DEFINITIONS EXPLAINED

Antenna

The receiver and transmitter are both provided with an antenna.

The microphone lead of SCOLA TEACH also serves as an antenna,
and should therefore always be connected, even when only the
audio input function is being used. Turn off the microphone if the
microphone signal causes disturbance.

Approval and CE marking

SCOLA TEACH and the SCOLA receiver have been tested at an EU/
FCC accredited test laboratory. The CE/FCC marking and decla­ration of conformity document that the products conform to the
directives and technical requirements laid down in North America
and the EU, as well as in associated countries.

The transmitter and receiver are provided with serial numbers.

37

Battery - SCOLA TEACH

One AA battery is required for SCOLA TEACH. The rechargeable
battery included is a nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) type battery.
It is environmentally friendly and does not contain heavy metals.
The contact surface at the negative pole ensures that only this
type of battery can be charged in SCOLA TEACH.

The lifetime of the battery depends on the number of times it is
charged. If the battery is charged daily, we recommend changing
the battery once a year to ensure optimum operating time.

Other battery types can also be used, but cannot be recharged.

38

WARNING

If you use other types of rechargeable batteries in SCOLA TEACH than
the original, it must be charged in a separate charger.
If you use a NON-rechargeable battery, then use only high quality bat­teries, e.g. alkaline batteries.
Always remove ex hausted alkalin e batteries from th e battery compar t­ment to limit the risk of leakage.
If you try to charge alkaline batteries or other NON-rechargeable bat­teries or ot her rechargeable batterie s than the type included with SCO­LA TEAC H, all that will happ en is that the display w ill show: “WARNING ,
the battery is not rechargeable”.
Rechargeable batteries cannot be overcharged in SCOL A TEACH.

39

ALWAYS remember to remove the battery – irrespective of type –
if the transmitter will not be used again soon.

If you have any questions about the type, acquisition, use or dis­posal of batteries, please consult the hearing care professional
where you acquired your SCOLA™ FM system.

CAUTION

Batteri es that are no longe r usable shoul d be disposed of in acco rdance
with applicable environmental requirements.

Battery charging

Fully charging a drained battery takes ten hours. Before the bat­tery is used for the first time, we recommend that it is charged
for 14 hours. Even when the battery is fully charged, the battery
symbol will continue to indicate that the battery is charging for
as long as the charger is connected. The battery cannot be over­charged.

40

WARNING

Charger and mini USB connector:
This device can be charged by an external charger or USB device.
Only connect a charger that is compatible with the SCOLA TEACH.
The charger plug and input rating must be compatible with the AC wall
outlet in your region.
When the SCOLA TEACH is connected to external mains-operated
equipment like a charger or PC or similar, this equipment must comply
with IEC 60065, IEC 60950, IEC 60601-1 or equivalent UL safety stand­ards.
Widex strongly recommends that you always use a charger that is sup­plied by your Widex distributor to ensure safe and efficient use of your
SCOLA TEACH.

41

Battery status

The battery power level is shown in the display. Five bars indicate
that the battery is fully charged, three bars that it is half charged,
and no bars that it is almost drained (less than ½ hour of oper­ation remaining). When the battery is almost drained, the bat­tery symbol flashes in the display and the LED flashes red. After
a while, the transmitter will turn off. If the receiver is connected,
this can be clearly heard in the hearing aid.

For optimum battery lifetime, we recommend not recharging the
battery until the battery indication is below two bars.

42

Channels and frequencies

SCOLA TEACH can be set to transmit on different channels. Each
channel corresponds to a specific frequency. Only channels/fre­quencies that are permitted in the country where the transmit­ter is employed may be used. SCOLA TEACH is pre-programmed
with the channels permitted in the country where it is acquired.

The channel numbers are divided into three frequency bands
indicated by “H”, “J” or “N” in the lower left-hand corner of the
display. The corresponding channel number for MicroLink equip­ment is displayed after these three letters. This is an advantage if
several FM systems are used simultaneously.

SCOLA TEACH can transmit sound signals on most permitted fre­quencies in the frequency ranges 169 MHz–176 MHz (H band), 180
MHz-187 MHz (J band) and 216 MHz-217 MHz (N band).

43

NOTE

• Do not use two transmitters (e.g. SCOLA TEACH) on the same channel/

frequency in the same area.

• Note that there is a risk of interference from other radio communica-

tions, especially when using the system abroad.

• Please note that when travelling abroad it may not be permitted to use

the same channels as in your own country.

Channel synchronisation

The SCOLA TEACH transmitting channel can be synchronised
with the SCOLA receiver’s receiving channel in two ways.

Standard synchronisation

Press

once. This will change the receiving channel to the same
one as the transmitting channel. For this type of synchronisa­tion, the distance between the SCOLA TEACH and SCOLA FLEX or
SCOLA BUDDY should be approximately 10-80 cm. The FM user
will hear a beep tone when synchronisation is complete.

44

Teacher’s settings and Teacher’s synchronisation

The SCOLA TEACH transmitter can wirelessly synchronise SCOLA
FLEX with what we call the Teacher’s settings.

These Teacher’s settings are temporary, and can only be reset by
switching the hearing aid off and on.

The purpose of this is to prevent small children from operating the
mode switch and scan button on the SCOLA FLEX receiver during
classes. These settings can be activated without any risk of alter­ing the settings entered by the hearing healthcare professional.

45

To set up the Teacher’s settings:

Access“Teacher’smenu”bypressingtheCkeyandthe key

press



Leave “Teacher’s menu” by pressing C.

To perform a Teacher’s synchronisation:

From the standard “user mode”, hold down

for about 1 sec.
This will synchronise the receiving channel with the transmitting
channel, mode switch and scan button settings.

When a Teacher’s synchronisation is performed within the reply
range of 10 to 30 cm, the settings of the SCOLA FLEX will be
shown in the SCOLA TEACH display.

46

If a Teacher’s synchronisation is performed at a distance of
approximately 30 cm-80 cm, the teacher’s synchronisation will
still take place, and a beep-tone will be heard in the hearing aid.
However, the SCOLA TEACH display will indicate that the receiver
is outside its reply range, and it will not show the detailed set­tings.

NOTE

The optimal operating range is achieved by holding the SCOLA TEACH
vertically – NOT horizontally, as you might with an ordinary remote con­trol.

FM system

An FM system is a radio communication system in which a trans­mitter sends signals to a receiver via carrier waves. ”FM” stands
for “frequency modulation” and is a technical term for the way in
which the radio signal is produced. FM transmission ensures high
quality reception without any noise, hum or distortion.

If you have two hearing aids, they should both have a receiver.

47

NOTE

Do not use SCOLA on aircraft or in hospitals without permission.

Interference

Interference occurs when signals from two transmitters on the
same frequency are mixed in the same receiver. When the sig­nals are equally strong, the interference will be most noticeable.
The further away one transmitter is from the receiver compared
to the other transmitter, the weaker the disturbing noise will be.

Interference can be avoided by selecting another transmitting
and receiving channel. Any potential risk of interference may be
detected if the Channel Tracer function is active. Channel Tracer is
a function in the Teacher’s menu. Consult your hearing care pro­fessional for further information.

48

Microphones for SCOLA TEACH

Omnidirectional lapel microphone: Standard microphone
included with SCOLA TEACH. The microphone is equally sensitive
to sound from all directions.

The following microphones are available as optional accessories:
Directional lapel microphone: Designed for noisy environments;
more sensitive to sounds from one direction.

Headset microphone: Designed for especially noisy environ­ments. It should be placed 2-3 cm from the mouth of the speaker.
The advantage of this microphone type is that its signal remains
unchanged even if the person speaking turns his or her head.

All microphones for SCOLA TEACH are provided with a 2.5 mm
jack.

49

Operating range

The operating range of the FM system is highly dependent on
the surroundings, including construction materials. The optimum
operating range of 20-30 metres can be obtained in the open and
with the microphone lead hanging freely. Inside buildings with
steel and concrete walls and floors, the operating range may be
reduced to ten metres. The position of the SCOLA receiver will
also affect the range.

CAUTION

Note that what is being transmitted from SCOLA TEACH may possibly
be picked up by another FM system.

50

Phono / SCART plugs

If the 3.5 mm jack of the audio lead does not fit the audio equip­ment, an additional lead should be acquired. Phono plugs are
widely used with CD players, stereo systems, etc., and a SCART
plug can be used with television sets or video equipment pro­vided with a SCART connection. Connect the leads and plugs in
the following way:

Audio lead <-> lead with phono/SCART plugs <-> SCART connec­tion.

WARNING

Audio connector (3.5 mm jack):
The safety of the use of SCOLA TEACH is determined by any external
equipment that is connected to the SCOLA TEACH via the audio con­nector. When SCOLA TEACH is connected to external mains-operated
equipment via the audio connector, this equipment must comply with
IEC60065, IEC60950, IEC 60601-1 or equivalent safety standards.

51

Team Teaching function (SCOLA TEACH with Team Teaching
only)

When the Team Teaching function is active, the signal from the
team microphone (an extra FM microphone such as SCOLA TALK)
will be relayed to one or more SCOLA receivers along with the
microphone signal from SCOLA TEACH. This allows two persons,
e.g. two parents or teachers, to be in contact with one or several
FM users at the same time.

With the team microphone’s audio input connected to a TV or
audio equipment, the sound signal is sent wirelessly to the stu­dent, who can simultaneously hear what the teacher is saying.

52

Additional technical information:

SCOLA TEACH has a built-in FM receiver which enables Team
Teaching. The channel used for the receiver and the team micro­phone must be the same. This channel can be selected in the
Team Teaching menu.

Reception on the Team Teaching ch annel is only possi ble if the fre­quency distance between the SCOLA TEACH transmitting channel
and the Team Teaching receiving channel is sufficiently large. This
distance is calculated by a program integrated in SCOLA TEACH.
If the frequency distance is too small, the Team Teaching channel
number will have a grey appearance with an exclamation mark,
indicating that there is a risk of interference .

If the channel for the team microphone cannot be changed,
another transmitting channel can be selected until the warning
disappears.

53

WARRANTY

A warranty of two years is provided. The warranty covers
any defects in manufacture or materials. Defects arising from
improper handling or repairs carried out by an unauthorised
party are not covered by this warranty.

Industry Canada Statement / Déclaration d’industrie Canada

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only
operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain
approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada.

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna
type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically
radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) this device may not cause interference, and

(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of the device.

Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent
émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un
gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie
Canada.

Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à
l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et
son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente
(p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une
communication satisfaisante.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada
applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est
autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes :

(1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et

(2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique
subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le
fonctionnement.
