INTRODUCTIONSCOLA provides hearing aid users with additional opportunitiesin difficult listening situations.The SCOLA FM system has been developed specificallyfor children and educational environments. Theseinstructions therefore primarily address parents andteachers.The symbol refers to the section ‘Terms and definitionsexplained’, where you will find detailed explanationsof functions and technical terms.WARNINGThis booklet contains important information and instructions.Read this booklet carefully before you start using the device.NoteYour SCOLA TEACH device and accessories may not look exactlyas illustrated in this booklet. We furthermore reserve theright to make any changes considered necessary.5

THE SCOLA FM SYSTEMThe SCOLA FM system consists of a SCOLA TEACHtransmitter and one or two SCOLA receivers. TheSCOLA TEACH transmitter’s primary function is totransmit sound signals from the microphone or audioequipment to the SCOLA receiver(s). The operatingrange is up to 20-30 metres, depending on thesurroundings. The transmission power is very low andlimited by national regulations. It has no physiologicalside 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 recognisedby its key on the keypad.The SCOLA TEACH transmitter and SCOLA receiver(s)must be on the same channel in order to work together.6

GOOD ADVICESCOLA TEACH is primarily intended for educationalenvironments, but can also be used in other situationswhere noise, poor acoustics or the like make listeningdifficult.To benefit fully from the SCOLA FM system, it is importantto:• practise using the FM system and test the differentsettings in familiar surroundings• inform other people that you use an FM system withyour hearing aid, so that they can understand whythey should talk into the microphone, and how thesystem works• select the right settings for SCOLA TEACH and theSCOLA receiver(s)23

ListeningsituationIn kindergartens /classroomsLecturesAt homeIn the carUse of SCOLA TEACH and microphonepositioningAsk the teacher to use SCOLA TEACH andposition the microphone as described.Microphone types other than omnidirectional areavailable as optional accessories to optimise thespeech signal.For group work, or if several teachers are present,we recommend the use of the Team Teachingfunction. This requires that SCOLA TEACH isprovided with this function, and that an extra FMmicrophone is available.Check that there is no interference on the channelselected for the system. Find and select a noisefreechannel for the transmitter and receiver.Explain to the lecturer how SCOLA TEACH works.Ask the lecturer to keep the microphone as closeas possible to his or her mouth.Using the FM system at home is almost the sameas in the classroom. SCOLA TEACH can beconnected to the TV, PC, etc. via the audio lead.With a Team Teaching version transmitter and anextra FM microphone, e.g. a SCOLA TALK, bothparents can communicate with their child via FM.The SCOLA FM system is particularly effective in acar.The microphone should be placed as closely aspossible to the person speaking.It is possible to listen to music from an MP3 playeror the like by connecting the audio lead from theSCOLA TEACH to the headphone jack of the MP3player. Leaving the microphone on allows thechild to hear music as well as any speech into themicrophone.24

CARE AND MAINTENANCEIn general, the SCOLA FM system should be cared forin the same way as the hearing aid. It is a good idea toclean and remove dirt and debris from the FM systemon a daily basis. There are also some special precautionswhich should be taken.• Remove any dirt from SCOLA TEACH with a dry,soft cloth.• Do not disassemble any of the SCOLA products orhearing aid, as this will void the guarantee.• Do not use water, alcohol or the like to clean the FMsystem.• Make sure that the microphone, audio and chargercords do not become tangled up.• Do not expose the SCOLA FM system to cosmetics,hair spray, water, cleaning solutions or other chemicals.25

WARNINGSWarning• Make sure that the batteries for the hearing aid and for theSCOLA TEACH are kept out of reach of children, who mightplace them in their mouths.• Discard used batteries carefully.• Do not change batteries in front of children, and do not letthem see where you keep your supply.26

IN CASE OF MALFUNCTIONWith proper use and maintenance, your SCOLA FMsystem will give you years of reliable service. The followingpages contain some brief advice to follow if youexperience problems with your SCOLA FM system. Beforecontacting the hearing care professional whereyou acquired your SCOLA FM system, please follow theadvice below:If there is no sound from the SCOLA FM system or theaudio equipment, or the sound is distorted, it couldbe because:• The hearing aid, SCOLA TEACH or the SCOLAreceiver(s) are not set correctly.Check to ensure that all the settings are correct forthe desired use, and that both the transmitter andreceiver are turned on.• SCOLA TEACH and the SCOLA receiver(s) are not setto the same channel.Check that the channel number in the display of theSCOLA TEACH is the same as the receiving channelof the SCOLA receiver by performing a channel synchronisation.27

If there is noise in the hearing aid, it could be because:• You are at or beyond the limit of the operating rangeof SCOLA TEACH.Reduce the distance between the SCOLA TEACHand SCOLA receiver.• Noise and whistling are interfering with reception,possibly because two or more FM transmitters aretransmitting on the same channel as your receivingchannel.To avoid this type of interference, make sure thatonly one FM transmitter is transmitting on the receivingchannel.Try turning off your SCOLA TEACH. If you hearanother 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 thischannel on both SCOLA TEACH and the SCOLAreceiver.• Increase the distance between the interfering FMtransmitter until the interference stops.28

If there is no sound from the audio equipment, but thesound from the SCOLA TEACH microphone signal isokay, it could be because:• The audio lead is not correctly plugged into the audiojack 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 audioequipment’s volume control, if possible.If the battery is quickly drained of power even aftera full charge cycle, but the display indicates that thebattery is charged, it could be because:• The battery is defective.Contact the hearing care professional where theSCOLA FM system was acquired, to have the batterychanged. You can use standard alkaline (nonrechargeable)batteries until this is done.29

If the battery does not charge and the display doesnot indicate that the battery is charging, it could bebecause:• 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 theSCOLA FM system was acquired.• The connecting terminals on the battery are dirty ordefective.Consult the hearing care professional where theSCOLA FM system was acquired.warningLow battery can cause the sound transmission to suddenlystop.30

TERMS AND DEFINITIONSEXPLAINEDAntennaThe receiver and transmitter are both provided with anantenna.The microphone lead of SCOLA TEACH also serves asan 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 causesdisturbance.Approval and CE markingSCOLA TEACH and the SCOLA receiver have been testedat an EU/FCC accredited test laboratory. The CE/FCC marking and declaration of conformity documentthat the products conform to the directives and technicalrequirements laid down in North America and theEU, as well as in associated countries.The transmitter and receiver are provided with serialnumbers.31

Battery - SCOLA TEACHOne AA battery is required for SCOLA TEACH. The rechargeablebattery included is a nickel-metal-hydride(NiMH) type battery. It is environmentally friendly anddoes not contain heavy metals. The contact surface atthe negative pole ensures that only this type of batterycan be charged in SCOLA TEACH.The lifetime of the battery depends on the number oftimes it is charged. If the battery is charged daily, werecommend changing the battery once a year to ensureoptimum operating time.Other battery types can also be used, but cannot berecharged.32

warningIf you use other types of rechargeable batteries in SCOLATEACH than the original, it must be charged in a separatecharger.If you use a NON-rechargeable battery, then use only high qualitybatteries, e.g. alkaline batteries.Always remove exhausted alkaline batteries from the batterycompartment to limit the risk of leakage.If you try to charge alkaline batteries or other NON-rechargeablebatteries or other rechargeable batteries than the type includedwith SCOLA TEACH, all that will happen is that the displaywill show: “WARNING, the battery is not rechargeable”.Rechargeable batteries cannot be overcharged in SCOLATEACH.ALWAYS remember to remove the battery – irrespectiveof type – if the transmitter will not be used againsoon.If you have any questions about the type, acquisition,use or disposal of batteries, please consult the hearingcare professional where you acquired your SCOLA FMsystem.CAUTIONBatteries that are no longer usable should be disposed of in accordancewith applicable environmental requirements.33

Battery chargingFully charging a drained battery takes ten hours. Beforethe battery is used for the first time, we recommend thatit is charged for 14 hours. Even when the battery is fullycharged, the battery symbol will continue to indicatethat the battery is charging for as long as the charger isconnected. The battery cannot be overcharged.warningCharger 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 SCOLATEACH.The charger plug and input rating must be compatible with theAC wall outlet in your region.When the SCOLA TEACH is connected to external mains-operatedequipment like a charger or PC or similar, this equipmentmust comply with IEC 60065, IEC 60950, IEC 60601-1 or equivalentsafety standards.Widex strongly recommends that you always use a charger thatis supplied by your Widex distributor to ensure safe and efficientuse of your SCOLA TEACH.Battery statusThe battery power level is shown in the display. Fivebars indicate that the battery is fully charged, threebars that it is half charged, and no bars that it is almostdrained (less than ½ hour of operation remaining).34

When the battery is almost drained, the battery symbolflashes in the display and the LED flashes red. Aftera while, the transmitter will turn off. If the receiver isconnected, this can be clearly heard in the hearing aid.For optimum battery lifetime, we recommend not rechargingthe battery until the battery indication is belowtwo bars.Channels and frequenciesSCOLA TEACH can be set to transmit on different channels.Each channel corresponds to a specific frequency.Only channels/frequencies that are permitted inthe country where the transmitter is employed maybe used. SCOLA TEACH is pre-programmed with thechannels permitted in the country where it is acquired.The channel numbers are divided into three frequencybands indicated by “H”, “J” or “N” in the lower left-handcorner of the display. The corresponding channel numberfor MicroLink equipment is displayed after thesethree letters. This is an advantage if several FM systemsare used simultaneously.35

SCOLA TEACH can transmit sound signals on most permittedfrequencies in the frequency ranges 169 MHz–176 MHz (H band), 180 MHz-187 MHz (J band) and 216MHz-217 MHz (N band).note• Do not use two transmitters (e.g. SCOLA TEACH) on the samechannel/frequency in the same area.• Note that there is a risk of interference from other radio communications,especially when using the system abroad.• Please note that when travelling abroad it may not be permittedto use the same channels as in your own country.Channel synchronisationThe SCOLA TEACH transmitting channel can be synchronisedwith the SCOLA receiver’s receiving channelin two ways.Standard synchronisationPress once. This will change the receiving channelto the same one as the transmitting channel. Forthis type of synchronisation, the distance betweenthe SCOLA TEACH and SCOLA FLEX or SCOLA buddyshould be approximately 10-80 cm. The FM user willhear a beep tone when synchronisation is complete.36

Teacher’s settings and Teacher’s synchronisationThe SCOLA TEACH transmitter can wirelessly synchroniseSCOLA FLEX with what we call the Teacher’s settings.These Teacher’s settings are temporary, and can onlybe reset by switching the hearing aid off and on.The purpose of this is to prevent small children from operatingthe mode switch and scan button on the SCOLAFLEX receiver during classes. These settings can be activatedwithout any risk of altering the settings enteredby the hearing healthcare professional.To set up the Teacher’s settings:Access “Teacher’s menu” by pressing the C key and the key simultaneously.Pressto select “Sync Settings”.With the arrow keys, select switch and scan button settingsand press .Leave “Teacher’s menu” by pressing C.To perform a Teacher’s synchronisation:From the standard “user mode”, hold down for about1 sec. This will synchronise the receiving channel with37

the transmitting channel, mode switch and scan buttonsettings.When a Teacher’s synchronisation is performed withinthe reply range of 10 to 30 cm, the settings of theSCOLA FLEX will be shown in the SCOLA TEACH display.If a Teacher’s synchronisation is performed at a distanceof approximately 30 cm-80 cm, the teacher’s synchronisationwill still take place, and a beep-tone will beheard in the hearing aid. However, the SCOLA TEACHdisplay will indicate that the receiver is outside its replyrange, and it will not show the detailed settings.noteThe optimal operating range is achieved by holding the SCOLATEACH vertically – NOT horizontally, as you might with an ordinaryremote control.FM systemAn FM system is a radio communication system inwhich a transmitter sends signals to a receiver via carrierwaves. ”FM” stands for “frequency modulation” andis a technical term for the way in which the radio signalis produced. FM transmission ensures high quality receptionwithout any noise, hum or distortion.38

If you have two hearing aids, they should both have areceiver.noteDo not use SCOLA on aircraft or in hospitals without permission.InterferenceInterference occurs when signals from two transmitterson the same frequency are mixed in the same receiver.When the signals are equally strong, the interferencewill be most noticeable. The further away one transmitteris from the receiver compared to the other transmitter,the weaker the disturbing noise will be.Interference can be avoided by selecting another transmittingand receiving channel. Any potential risk of interferencemay be detected if the Channel Tracer functionis active. Channel Tracer is a function in the Teacher’smenu. Consult your hearing care professional forfurther information.39

Microphones for SCOLA TEACHOmnidirectional lapel microphone: Standard microphoneincluded with SCOLA TEACH. The microphoneis 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.Lavalier microphone: Hangs around the neck along withthe SCOLA TEACH. The lavalier microphone lead alsoserves as an antenna.When hung around the neck, the SCOLA TEACH displayis upside down. Press simultaneously to rotatethe display and keys 180 degrees.Headset microphone: Designed for especially noisy environments.It should be placed 2-3 cm from the mouthof the speaker. The advantage of this microphone typeis that its signal remains unchanged even if the personspeaking turns his or her head.All microphones for SCOLA TEACH are provided witha 2.5 mm jack.40

Operating rangeThe operating range of the FM system is highly dependenton the surroundings, including construction materials.The optimum operating range of 20-30 metres canbe obtained in the open and with the microphone leadhanging freely. Inside buildings with steel and concretewalls and floors, the operating range may be reducedto ten metres. The position of the SCOLA receiver willalso affect the range.cautionNote that what is being transmitted from SCOLA TEACH maypossibly be picked up by another FM system.Phono / SCART plugsIf the 3.5 mm jack of the audio lead does not fit the audioequipment, an additional lead should be acquired.Phono plugs are widely used with CD players, stereosystems, etc., and a SCART plug can be used with televisionsets or video equipment provided with a SCARTconnection. Connect the leads and plugs in the followingway:Audio lead lead with phono/SCART plugs SCART connection.41

WARNINGAudio connector (3.5 mm jack):The safety of the use of SCOLA TEACH is determined by any externalequipment that is connected to the SCOLA TEACH viathe audio connector. When SCOLA TEACH is connected to externalmains-operated equipment via the audio connector, thisequipment must comply with IEC60065, IEC60950, IEC 60601-1 or equivalent safety standards.Team Teaching function (SCOLA TEACH with TeamTeaching only)When the Team Teaching function is active, the signalfrom the team microphone (an extra FM microphonesuch as SCOLA TALK) will be relayed to one or moreSCOLA receivers along with the microphone signalfrom SCOLA TEACH. This allows two persons, e.g. twoparents or teachers, to be in contact with one or severalFM users at the same time.With the team microphone’s audio input connectedto a TV or audio equipment, the sound signal is sentwirelessly to the student, who can simultaneously hearwhat the teacher is saying.42

Additional technical information:SCOLA TEACH has a built-in FM receiver which enablesTeam Teaching. The channel used for the receiver andthe team microphone must be the same. This channelcan be selected in the Team Teaching menu.Reception on the Team Teaching channel is onlypossible if the frequency distance between theSCOLA TEACH transmitting channel and the TeamTeaching receiving channel is sufficiently large. Thisdistance is calculated by a program integrated inSCOLA TEACH. If the frequency distance is too small,the Team Teaching channel number will have a greyappearance with an exclamation mark, indicating thatthere is a risk of interference .If the channel for the team microphone cannot bechanged, another transmitting channel can be selecteduntil the warning disappears.43
