Changing batteries
Your hearing instrument battery size is 312. Batteries
perform differently. Ask your hearing care professional
for help choosing a high quality battery for your hearing
instrument.
A worn out battery should be removed immediately.
When the battery power is low, you will hear 2 beeps.
This pre-warning starts when the battery has only
a few hours of operation left. The pre-warning will be
repeated with moderate intervals to indicate it is time
to change the battery.
If the battery runs out the instrument turns off. When
that happens, 4 beeps are played to indicate that the
instrument is no longer operating.
It is not an indication of a malfunction.

Turning your instruments ON and OFF
Turn ON your hearing instrument by closing the battery door completely with the battery
in place. When the battery door is closed the instrument will start up by playing a jingle.
This indicates that the battery is working and the instrument is operating.
Turn OFF your hearing instrument by opening the battery door slightly until a click is felt.
To preserve the battery, make sure your hearing instrument is switched off when you are
not wearing it.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Open the battery door fully to
allow air to circulate whenever
you are not using your hearing
instrument, especially at night!
ON OFF
Click Click
To replace the battery, follow these instructions:
• Open the battery door completely by pushing the raised edge in the bottom of
the instrument. Remove the old battery.
• Remove the sticky label from the + side of the new battery.
• Insert the new battery so that its + marking faces the + sign printed on the battery
door. Close the battery door.
Any moisture on the battery surface should be wiped
off before use.
When you change battery, it will take a few seconds
before the battery works to full capacity.
To assist the handling of the batteries, the magnet
placed at the end of the tool can be used.

Left/Right ear marking
Hearing instruments are fitted to the uniqueness of each ear, which means if you have
two instruments then your left hearing instrument is programmed differently from your
right. That is why it is important to distinguish between the left hearing instrument and
the right.
In order to easily identify whether it is left ear or right ear instrument, colour markings
may be applied inside the battery door.
A blue dot marks the LEFT instrument.
A red dot marks the RIGHT instrument.
Putting on your instrument
Place the speaker, with the ear piece attached, into your ear
first (1) and then place the instrument behind your ear (2).
If the power instrument has a Mould as ear piece, make sure
it is positioned in the ear so it perfectly fits the ergonomics
of the ear canal in a tight and comfortable way.
Make sure that the ear piece is placed so that the tube
follows the contour of the skin.
If the instrument has an ear grip, place it in the ear as
indicated in drawing 3 and 4 so it follows the contour of
the ear.

and switching between programs.

Programs (Optional)
Your hearing instrument can have up to 4 different programs.
When switching between the different programs, your hearing instrument will beep.

Three beeps, when you switch to program 3

The RIGHT hearing instrument switches forwards in the program cycle, e.g. P1-P2.
The LEFT hearing instrument switches backwards in the program cycle, e.g. P2-P1.
Below you can see a description of the programs available in your hearing instrument.
