Please familiarise yourself with the entire contents of this booklet before using the

Changing batteries

A worn out battery should be removed immediately and

disposed of according to local regulations.

When the battery power is low, the visual indicator (LED)

blinks rapidly and continuously (if enabled), and the user

will hear 2 beeps (if enabled).

This pre-warning starts when the battery has only a few

hours of operation left. The 2 beeps will be repeated in

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 and the visual indicator (LED)

will turn off (if enabled) to indicate that the instrument is

no longer operating.

BTE 312 – Tamper-resistant battery door

(Optional)

To keep the battery out of reach of small children and people with

learning difficulties, it is strongly recommended to use a tamper-

resistant battery door on the hearing instrument.

Instructions

To lock the battery door:

Make sure the door is completely closed. Use the screwdriver in the

Multitool to turn the tamper-resistant screw to locked position.

To unlock the battery door:

Use the screwdriver in the Multitool to turn the tamper-resistant

screw to unlocked position. The battery door can be opened as usual.

Important: Do not force the battery door beyond its fully opened

position. Make sure to insert the battery correctly. The use of

excessive force can deform the battery door, which will reduce its

tamper resistant effectiveness.

To replace the battery, follow these instructions:

• Open the battery door fully by pushing the raised edge on the bottom of the

instrument. Remove the old battery. To assist with the handling of the batteries,

the magnet placed at the end of the MultiTool can be used.

• Remove the sticky label from the + side of the new battery.

• The new battery may be inserted by using the magnetic end of the MultiTool.

Ensure that the positive (+) marking faces the positive (+) sign printed on the

battery door. Close the battery door.

Any moisture on the battery surface should be

wiped off before use.

After replacing the battery, it will take a few seconds

before the battery works to full capacity. MultiTool

Turning your instrument ON and OFF

Turn ON the hearing instrument by closing the battery door completely with the battery

in place. If enabled the instrument will start up by playing a jingle and the LED will blink

according to program setting (see chapter about programs). This indicates that the

battery is working and the instrument is operating.

Turn OFF the hearing instrument by opening the battery door slightly until a “click” is felt.

To preserve the battery, make sure the hearing instrument is switched off when not worn.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Open the battery compartment

fully to allow air to circulate

whenever you are not using your

hearing instrument, e.g. at night!

BTE Power – Tamper-resistant battery door

(Optional)

To keep the battery out of reach of small children and people with learning difficulties,

it is strongly recommended to use a tamper-resistant battery door on the hearing

instrument.

The battery door is designed only to be opened using a tool. Use the MultiTool to unlock

the door by inserting it into the channel in the bottom of the hearing instrument and

push on the door to open.

Important: Do not force the battery door beyond

its fully opened position. Make sure to insert the

battery correctly. The use of excessive force can

deform the battery door, which will reduce its

tamper resistant effectiveness.

Putting on the hearing instrument

Place the tip of the earmould in the ear canal, twisting

slightly, making sure that the top part of the earmould (A)

is pushed behind and under the fold (B) of the ear.

Gently pull up the ear and press the earmould in the

direction of the ear canal.

With the earmould positioned correctly in the ear, place

the hearing instrument behind the ear by lifting the base

of the hearing instrument over the top of the ear.

Left/Right ear marking

Hearing instruments are fitted to the uniqueness of each ear, which means that if you or

your child has two instruments the left hearing instrument may be programmed differ-

ently from the right. Therefore, it is important to distinguish between the left and the

right hearing instrument.

In order to easily identify the left or right hearing instrument, colour markings may be

applied inside the battery door.

Blue marks the LEFT instrument.

Red marks the RIGHT instrument.

Using 2 instruments

For ease of use, the push-button can be programmed to shift to the equivalent program

in the other instrument (Safari 900 and 600 only). Shifting the program on one side, will

shift the program on the other side as well. This is referred to as binaural coordination of

the push-button.
