Hello All,</div>
<div class="elementToProof" style="line-height: 1.284; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
If you want to check out an Assistive Listening Device during the convention, come see me at the registration table. I will be there when registration is scheduled to be open, except during the At Large Chapter meeting on Friday afternoon. (I will sit in the
back of the room during that meeting so you can find me if you need to check out a device during that time.)</div>

Here is the information from our agenda. Also, I will just add the following: to turn the receiver on, press and hold the Power button for 1 second. To turn it off, press and Hold the Power button for 3 seconds.</div>
<div class="elementToProof" style="line-height: 1.284; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
The NFB of New Mexico has Assistive Listening Devices in the form of receivers with headsets available for persons who are Deaf, Deafblind, or Hard-of-Hearing. We use a stationary transmitter that connects to the Public Address system in a meeting room and
transmits the sound directly to a receiver that you can clip to your belt or other clothing. To use the receiver, you will need to plug in a 3.5mm headset. We have small headsets available to check out along with the receivers, or you can use your own headset.
We have 2 neck loops available on a first-come, first-served basis for people who have hearing aids with a Telecoil switch they can activate; the neck loop will send the sound directly to the hearing aids.</div>

Please go to the registration desk to check out and return receivers and headsets.</div>

When you check out a receiver, you will either need to provide a credit or debit card, or you can give us a deposit of $80 cash only. If you provide a debit or credit card, we will take a password-protected picture of the card using a cell phone and will permanently
delete the picture when you bring back the equipment in good condition. If you provide a deposit of $80 cash only, we will return the money to you when you return the equipment in good condition. You will also need to sign our NFB of New Mexico Assistive Listening
Device Checkout Form, where you acknowledge your understanding that if you do not return the equipment or if you damage the equipment, we will either charge your credit or debit card for the cost of replacing the equipment, or we will keep the $80 deposit
and ask you to pay the remaining cost to replace the equipment.</div>

We realize that you may be attending multiple days of the convention. Even so, we ask that you return the receiver and headset each day after the last event you plan to attend that day. This way, we can charge the receivers overnight to ensure they will have
a full charge when they are checked out the next day. If you keep the receiver for multiple days and turn it in when you are done attending the convention, we cannot guarantee that the receiver will maintain its battery life over multiple days.</div>

These receivers can operate on three different channels. The board meeting, general sessions, Resolutions Committee meeting, and the banquet will all be broadcast on Channel E, which is the default channel. If you are attending a meeting during the convention
other than those just listed, you may need to change the channel on your receiver to either channel A or Channel H to tune in the broadcast for that meeting.</div>
<div class="elementToProof" style="line-height: 1.284; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
To change the channel on the receiver, press and hold the volume up and down buttons together for five seconds. Then you can use the volume up and volume down buttons to change the channel to A or H. Once you have changed the channel, either press the power
button to save and exit, or the change will be saved automatically in 5 seconds if you take no action. If you need help changing the channel on your receiver, please go to the registration desk.</div>
