Congratulations on purchasing your GeemarcTM LoopHEARTM.
This is a portable induction loop system that can be used in a
variety of locations, both public and private.
This tough but light unit is easily transported and integral batteries
allow it to be freestanding. These batteries are both replaceable
and rechargeable and long usage can be expected (up to 12
hours). The loop is contained within the unit hence there are
no trailing wires. The LoopHEARTM will cover an area of
approximately 1m2 /3.3ft2. There is an integral microphone that
picks up speech and conversations. An external microphone
may be added if required (supplied). This induction loop system
is designed to assist hearing aid users by transmitting direct to
their telecoil equipped hearing aid (which must be switched to
the ‘T’ position).
The outer carton has been specially designed as a handy carrying
case. It is recommended to retain this carrying case to enable
safe transportation when transporting the LoopHEARTM.
It is important that you read the instructions below
in order to use your GeemarcTM LoopHEARTM to its
full potential. Keep this user guide in a safe place
for future reference.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend that to preserve the environment,
you switch the button on/off to off after each use. The
RED LED indicator will switch off.
Note: users of digital hearing aids must make sure their aids
have been programmed for use with the ‘T’ setting.

If you want to ensure the LoopHEARTM stays in one place, then it
can be used as a semi fixed unit as follows:
1) Choose the location to fix the LoopHEARTM. Please bear in mind
the range of coverage available (see below). Ensure you make
full use of it.
2) Remove the base plate as described in Battery Charging above.
3) Screw the base plate to the table or desktop with the screws
provided.
4) Replace the base plate as described in Battery Charging above.

FIXING THE HAND HELD Listener HOLDER
The hand held listener holder can be attached to the LoopHEARTM
on the left hand side or the right hand side, depending on where
it would be convenient for use. In order to fix the attaches the
receiver holder:
1. Insert the lug at the side of the holder gently into the slot in the
cabinet.
2. Insert the screw provided with the holder into the hole of the
holder and into the hole in the side of the cabinet, and tighten
the screw fully using a screw driver.
The handheld receiver can now be placed in the holder.
Note:
The handheld receiver has a built in magnetic sensor which will
ensure that the receiver cuts out when it is replaced in the holder.

Turn the LoopHEARTM On
Turn the power switch found at the rear of the
unit to the 1 position. The power indicator
RED LED next to the switch lights up.
Turn the LoopHEARTM Off
After use, turn off by setting the power switch at the back of the
unit to the 0 position.
INSTALLATION & OPERATION
1. Choose a suitable location, free from
magnetic or electrical interference for
installation and use of LH102. Install
the LH102 ensuring that the cables are
securely anchored.
2. Connect the desktop Microphone to the
Mic jack. (or If needed connect an Aux
device to the Aux input jack). Please
note that if an Aux device is connected,
the MIC will be switched off.
3. Switch on the external power and check
that the Power ON LED illuminates.
4. Apply the input signal (for example
speaking into the Mic) to Mic or playing
some music on the Aux device. (For the

5. The LH102 is already factory set to get
optimal performances in magnetic field
transmission but, depending upon your
specific requirements, you can change
the magnetic field level or its frequency
response. Use a small flat blade
screwdriver to adjust the controls for
the Loop Current and Tone
Adjustment.
6. Test the performance of the system
using a loop receiver or field strength
meter. Adjust the Tone and Loop
Current controls to achieve the desired performance.
The Tone adjustment enables compensation for loss of higher
frequency signal during transmission.
Turn the Loop Current control clockwise to get the desired
magnetic field level (The Loop Current Indication LED will
become brighter as the Loop current is increased).
7. Loop Antenna & Performance
The unit has a built in loop antenna which is normally sufficient
for most applications.
However to increase the coverage area, one can use an external
perimeter loop with the following characteristics:
Loop resistance 0.3 to 1 ohm
Loop Impedance 1.3 ohm at 1.6 KHz
For local area loops, use wire 0.5 to 1.5 mm2 or 22 to 16 AWG
The external loop can be connected to the unit at the connector
at the back. Just press the latches of the spring clamps and
insert the terminating wires of the external loop. If using the
external loop, slide the selector switch next to the connector to
the External loop position.

Using the Hand held HAC Receiver
Using the External Microphone
Plug the supplied desktop microphone into the MIC JACK at the
back of unit. The external microphone will now override the built-
in microphone. The magnetic field LED indicator will light up blue
when you speak to the built-in microphone or external microphone.
NOTE: When the external or Internal microphones are in use, the
blue LED light flashes with an intensity depending on the strength
of the transmitted magnetic signal through the loop.
A Hand held HAC receiver is supplied for
hearing impaired users who do not use a
hearing aid, do not have a ‘T’ coil hearing aid
or wish extra privacy afforded by the hand
held listener.
Simply, plug the hand held listener into the
RJ11 connector with coding on the side at the
rear of the unit.
The receiver has a magnetic sensor which
automatically switches on the receiver
when it is removed from the holder and
switches off when it is replaced.
The volume can be adjusted by using the
volume knob also found at the rear of the unit
(
turn knob clockwise to increase volume
)

Using the Audio Input
The LoopHEARTM can transmit sound through the loop from an
external audio source like a TV set , MP3-4 , computer.
Connect your audio equipment to the 3.5mm socket
(blue) on rear panel of your LoopHEARTM. You will
then hear the magnetic signal when you are within 1
meter of the LoopHEARTM with your hearing aid in
the “T” position.
The sensitivity can be adjusted by turning the control
at the rear with a small flat screw driver.
LED Indicators
The unit has various LED indicators located in the handle recess
area, which light up as follows :
1. Blue LED flashes in sync with the Field Strength LED on the
front.
2. If the AC adaptor is plugged in
- White LED lights up if the batteries are charging.
- White LED changes colour to Green when the batteries are
fully charged.
3. If the AC adaptor is not plugged in and the unit is switched ON
- All LEDs except the Blue one will be off if the batteries have
adequate charge.
- Red LED lights up when the Batteries voltage is low. When
the Red LED lights up Plug in the Power Adaptor immediately
to charge the batteries.

LH102 produces minimum 400mA per meter at a distance of
80cm in compliance with specification EN60118-4. This
produces an effective magnetic field of 2.5M or more depending
on the sensitivity of the hearing aid or listening device. For
example, when used with the Geemarc products LH10 or
LH20 a distance of 3M can be achieved. The magnetic field
strength can be adjusted with the Loop current potentiometer
on LH102 rear panel (see page 12 item 5 in your user guide)
which can in such case also adjust the distance of detection.
BATTERY USAGE:
To ensure that your LoopHEARTM is always ready for use please
follow the recommendations below:
Always switch off when not in use
Always recharge the batteries after continuous use for more
than 6 hours or when the red LED is ON
Recharge the batteries every four months if the unit has been
switched OFF for long periods of time
As a rough guide the battery will allow the following usage
depending on the volume levels and ambient noise:
Standby when turned Off 4 MONTHS
Standby when turned On but not in use 12 HOURS
In continuous use from fully charged battery 4 to 5 HOURS
