CONNECTING HEADPHONES TO THE AUDIO
OUTPUT (SPECIAL SETTING)
NB: The following setting is only possible
when SCOLAbuddy is configured using a SCOLA-
programmer at your SCOLA provider.
SCOLAbuddy can be supplied with the 3.5 mm jack
socket configured as an output, for use with stand-
ard headphones. In this case, when the headphones
are connected, the FM signal will be routed to the
audio output instead of to the telecoil.
Without headphones connected, the tele-loop
function will be active.
Connect the headphones to the 3.5 mm jack socket
in the SCOLAbuddy unit.
With the FM transmitter switched on and receiving
on the correct channel, listen to the FM signal in the
headphones.
Adjust the volume on the SCOLAbuddy to an ap-
propriate level.
The setting will be remembered by the
SCOLAbuddy device after switch-off.
The volume setting is specific for the headphone
output, and will not affect other settings.

GETTING STARTED
SCOLAbuddy is primarily intended for use in edu-
cational institutions, but can naturally also be used
in other locations where noise, poor acoustics or
other factors restrict speech comprehension.
To get the best out of the SCOLA system, it is im-
portant to do the following:
1. Practise using FM, and try out various listening
situations in secure surroundings. This obviously
also applies to the parents and teachers of a
hearing impaired child.
2. Inform others that you are using an FM system
for your hearing aids, so that they understand
why they may have to speak into a microphone.
Talk to the teacher or lecturer in advance; tell him
or her that you are a hearing aid user and explain
the way that SCOLA works. Check that the set-
tings and the use of accessories with both
SCOLAbuddy and SCOLAteach/SCOLAtalk are
correct.
In the following, we have compiled a list of various
listening situations and recommended settings for
the FM system and hearing aids:
