Product Overview
Our Above the Counter loop system provides clear communication
with hearing device wearers, especially where background noise is a
problem or clear speech is restricted.
The aerial is combined with the sign and is xed to the counter or desk
surface, which enables your customers to easily spot the loop and get
maximum benet from it. The unit can be tted into many positions
due to its low prole structure.

Handy Tips
Removing Green Connectors
Each component comes tted with two-way and three-way connection
plugs located in the appropriate sockets at the rear of the driver. If
wires require to pass through small apertures, the connection plugs
may be removed temporarily.
The plugs connect to the
cables by screw terminal
connections so cables can
be removed and fed through
small, neat apertures for an
unobtrusive and discrete
installation.
Ensure
polarity is
correct
The cables and plugs must be re-connected correctly or the system
will not operate. If in doubt, mark the wires before disconnecting the
plug(s).
If there is a suitable cable port on the cashier’s side, the cables can be
diverted through this without the need to remove and reconnect the
two-way plugs.

•As the loop sign has a radius of 0.5m, make sure to place it directly
in front of where a customer will stand
•Ensure the microphone is positioned close to the member of sta
on the desk or counter
• The loop sign should be in a prominent poisition so those with a
hearing device are clear as to where assistance is available
Things to Remember
Using the System
•Face the microphone and speak normally from your seated/
standing position
•The speech is converted to an alternating magnetic eld and
transmitted via the loop aerial
•This is picked up by the telecoil in the customer’s hearing device
and converted back to speech
There’s nothing more you need to do!
If the hearing device wearer doesn’t pick up the signal:
•Draw their attention to the loop sign, checking their device is in the
“T” position
•Ask the hearing device wearer to check the volume setting on their
device
• Try moving closer to the microphone to achieve clearer voice
pick-up
•Ask the hearing device wearer to move close to the loop sign
