Introduction

The SCOLA™ FM communication system from Widex

provides hearing aid users with additional opportuni-

ties in difficult listening situations.

SCOLAclassmate and the other parts of the SCOLA

system are developed specifically for children and

educational environments. These instructions there-

fore primarily address parents and teachers.

SCOLAclassmate

As a supplement to the SCOLA FM system,

SCOLAclassmate helps ensure that the same channel

is used for both transmitting and receiving the FM

signal in a given location.

SCOLAclassmate can be of particular advantage in

schools where more than one student uses the SCOLA

FM system.

At these schools, it is recommended that each class-

room uses a different FM channel to eliminate the risk

of interference.

With SCOLAclassmate students using the SCOLA FM

system in a classroom automatically pick up the FM

signal from their teacher’s FM transmitter.

From its position on a classroom wall or table,

SCOLAclassmate automatically and wirelessly

synchronises SCOLAflex and other synchronisation-

compatible receivers to the channel being used for

transmission in that particular classroom.

All students wearing such receivers can then listen to

the signal from their teacher’s FM microphone.

How does SCOLAclassmate work?

During the first minute after SCOLAclassmate has

been turned on, the synchronisation channel can be

programmed into the memory. This is done with a

SCOLAteach, SCOLAteach TT or SCOLAprogrammer.

After one minute, the SCOLAclassmate starts to send

out the channel synchronisation signal. This signal

will be repeated 3 times per second and will set all

SCOLAflex or Amigo ear-level FM receivers within

range to the programmed channel.

The range of the signal is approximately 1.5 m.

SCOLAclassmate is powered by the external power

supply. However, an internal rechargeable back-up

battery will supply uninterrupted power to the unit

for 48 hours if the mains power is cut off (for example

if the wall outlet is needed for another purpose).

The back-up battery is continuously charged when

the power supply is connected to the mains. When

connected the first time, it will take about 10 hours

before the battery is fully charged.

NOTE: The back-up battery can / may only be replaced

by authorised Widex service personnel.

Response to synchronisation signals

A SCOLAflex that has gone into “sleep” mode after

a period of not receiving any transmission signal from

an FM transmitter will first “wake up” and then be

synchronised to the channel used in the classroom.

In the standard SCOLAflex setting, a beep will be

heard every time the receiver receives a synchronisa-

tion signal. The alternative is a setting where a beep

is only generated when the SCOLAflex channel is

changed. Please contact the hearing healthcare

professional, referring to the Programming guide for

SCOLAprogrammer and SCOLAflex and Programming

guide for teachers and professionals.

With Widex Integrated Signal Processing (ISP) hearing

aids set to work with SCOLAflex, the hearing aid’s

direct audio program is automatically switched on

and off, controlled by the SCOLAflex.

During breaks between lessons, the ISP hearing aid will

work in, for example, its standard acoustic program

without the user having to operate the FM switch or

remove the SCOLAflex from the hearing aid. When

the user returns to the lesson, the SCOLAclassmate

will set the SCOLAflex to the channel used in that

classroom and switch on the direct audio program,

allowing the FM signal to become audible. Fully au-

tomatically.

Installation

Placement

SCOLAclassmate is intended to be mounted on a wall

in the classroom or placed in its stand on a shelf or

table.

We recommend that it is placed about 1.5 m above

the floor.

The best way to ensure correct channel synchroni-

sation is to place the SCOLAclassmate close to the

entrance door.

If a wall socket is not within reach of the power supply

cord, the provided extension cord can be used.

Wall mounting

1. Find a convenient location for mounting the

SCOLAclassmate.

2. Use the wall mount as a guide to mark the loca-

tion of the two holes.

3. Drill the holes in the wall.

4. In case of brick, concrete or similar walls, drill the

holes with a diameter that will allow the fasten-

ers to fit into the holes.

Channel

1.5m / 60 inches

5. Insert the screws through the wall mount wash-

ers and screw the screws into the holes. Take

care not to bend the wall mount during mount-

ing.

6. Plug the power supply into the USB connector.

Use the provided extension cord, if necessary.

7. Plug the power supply into the wall socket and

switch on the mains power.

8. Align the SCOLAclassmate with the wall mount.

9. When the SCOLAclassmate has been placed on

the wall mount, slide the unit first to the left and

then downwards to lock it in place.

10. To remove the SCOLAclassmate, lift it slightly

and slide it to the right.

In the stand on a shelf

If the SCOLAclassmate is not intended to be located

permanently in one place, for example if it is needed

for testing in different classrooms, it can be placed in

its stand as shown.

Note: Do not place the portable stand where there is

a risk that it may fall to the floor.

Operation

Switching the SCOLAclassmate on/off

Press the on/off button to turn the SCOLAclassmate

on.

The LED will be lit and it will be possible to change

the synchronisation channel for one minute. After

one minute the LED will:

be constantly lit if the power supply is on•

flash if the SCOLA• classmate is running on batter-

ies.

To switch the SCOLAclassmate off, just press the

on/off button again.

Care, maintenance and safety

instructions

In general, the SCOLA™ FM system should be cared

for in the same way as the hearing aid. It is a good idea

to clean the FM system on a daily basis. Furthermore,

there are special precautions to be taken.

1. Clean the SCOLAclassmate with a dry, soft cloth.

2. Do not disassemble the SCOLAclassmate, other

SCOLA units or the hearing aid, as this will void

the guarantee.

3. Do not use water, alcohol or similar substances

to clean any SCOLA parts.

4. Make sure that the power supply cord is not

tangled up.

5. Do not expose the SCOLAclassmate to cosmet-

ics, hair spray, water, cleaning solutions or other

chemicals.

Programming

During the first minute after the SCOLAclassmate is

switched on, it is possible to set / change the synchro-

nisation channel.

Set the SCOLAteach or SCOLAteach TT to the re-

quired channel, or set the SCOLAprogrammer to the

appropriate channel in “Set channel” under the “Flex

programming” menu.

Hold the SCOLAteach / SCOLAprogrammer with-

in a distance of approximately 50 cm from the

SCOLAclassmate and press the “Enter” button.

When the LED flashes three times, the SCOLAclassmate

is programmed and ready for use.

Reprogramming of the SCOLAclassmate is only neces-

sary if the transmitting channel used in the classroom

is changed.

6. Please be sure to keep all SCOLA units, acces-

sories and hearing aids out of the reach of chil-

dren, who might place them in their mouths.

7. Do not use SCOLAclassmate on aeroplanes or in

hospitals without permission.

8. If you use the SCOLA FM system together with

equipment which is connected to the electrical

mains, this equipment must meet the safety re-

quirements stated in the international standard

IEC 60065.

9. Do not use two transmitters (e.g. SCOLAteach)

on the same channel/frequency in the same area,

as this will cause interference in the FM

receiver(s).

Troubleshooting

No light in the LED:

Check that the SCOLA• classmate is turned on.

Check mains supply (power outlet).•

Check that the power supply is connected to the•

SCOLAclassmate.

(Check that you are using the correct power sup-•

ply)

No receiver synchronisation:

Program the SCOLA• classmate again making

sure that it is set to the correct channel. See

“Programming” on page 16. Please make sure that

the LED flashes three times as acknowledgement

of successful programming.

Check that the SCOLA• teach or SCOLAprogrammer

(used for programming of SCOLAclassmate) is used

correctly (see specific user’s instructions).

LED is flashing:

The SCOLA• classmate is running on battery back-

up. Check that the power supply is connected

correctly.
