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.

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.
