General The Mobile Inductive Loopset LPS-4 for pe ople with hearing aids is developed to facilitate the use of a compatible mobile phone together with T-coil equipped hearing aids. When using the inductive loopset, you can speak directly to the microphone inside it. You do not need to hold a mobile phone near your ear, but you can carry it using a carrying case, belt clip, or other a ccessory. The loopset does not require any separate batteries. The operation of the device is based on induction technology used in public places: a loop system sends out sounds wireless ly to be picked up by the telecoil of the hearing aid that is switched to the T mode. The device described in this guide is compatible with phones with a Pop-Port™ interface connector (for example, the Nokia 6681 and Nokia 6682 mobile phones). The inductive loopset can also be conne cted to the speech processor of a compatible cochlear implant by using the audio output connector. Read this user guide carefu lly before using the loopset. Also read the user guide for your phone, which provides important safety and maintenance information. Keep the loopset out of reach of small children.
