Congratulations !

As the owner of a new hearing system, you may once again

enjoy the sounds of your environment, and conversation

with your family and friends.

These instructions as well as guidance from your hearing

instrument specialist will help you understand how your new

hearing system works. In this guide, you’ll find instructions

on insertion, removal and use of your ARTISTM hearing sys-

tem. There are also tips and information on proper handling,

cleaning, care and changing of the batteries. In addition,

a troubleshooting section is offered for your reference.

Your hearing improvement with a hearing system depends

on the fit of the hearing instruments, the type and degree

of hearing loss, and proper diagnostic testing. Of course, a

hearing system cannot restore normal hearing, and not

everyone will benefit equally.

More than 80 percent of individuals with a hearing loss have

a hearing loss in both ears. Studies show that even when a

hearing loss is worse in one ear, most people with a hearing

loss in both ears will benefit from wearing two hearing

instruments.

Remember, a hearing system consists of finely-tuned devices

that have been specially designed and expertly adjusted for

your individual needs. Proper care and handling will ensure

the best possible performance of your ARTIS hearing system.

Inserting the battery:

Before using your hearing instru-

ment, place the battery into the bat-

tery compartment door. Using the

fingernail of either your thumb or

index finger, pull the tab on the bat-

tery compartment door outward until

the door swings open all the way

(see illustration).

Battery insertion and removal

Handling the battery

The protective tab on your battery

should only be removed when you

are ready to use the battery.

Three useful tips:

• The positive (+) side of the battery is always the

smooth side. You can recognize the negative (-) side

by the colored ring.

• Always keep spare batteries with you.

• If you think you cannot change the battery by yourself,

ask someone to help you: a family member, friend or

your hearing instrument specialist.

240605401_Siemens_ARTIS_ITE_GB 19.12.2005 10:35 Uhr Seite 5

Place the proper size battery into the

battery compartment door, making

sure that the "+" symbol on the smooth

side of the battery matches the "+"

symbol on the edge of the battery

compartment door, as shown in

the illustration. (Ask your hearing

instrument specialist if you have

questions about the correct battery

size for your system)

Gently close the battery compartment. Do not force the

door shut. If it does not close easily, check to see if the bat-

tery is inserted properly. When the battery compartment is

completely closed, your hearing system is ready for use.

Low battery indicator

Your hearing system may be programmed to inform

you when the battery should be replaced for best system

performance. You may hear an intermittent series of beeps

and/or experience low amplification power or volume.

Change the battery when either of these occurs.

For ARTIS e2e systems

If you have an ePocketTM, the battery status can be checked

using the data read out function. (See the ePocket user guide

for more information).

Caution:

Keep batteries and instruments away from the reach of

small children.

Batteries can be harmful if swallowed.

If swallowed consult a physician or a hospital

immediately.

Change the batteries when any of the following occur:

- volume becomes softer or weak

- you hear a battery signal beep

- you see empty battery status on the display of

your ePocket (only for ARTIS e2e systems).

Do NOT throw used batteries into household trash.

Return them to your hearing instrument specialist

for environmentally correct disposal.

Inserting and removing your

custom hearing system

Hold the hearing instrument with

your thumb and index finger,

carefully push the instrument in

the ear canal. Gently work it into

its proper position by slightly

twisting until it is firmly seated.

Lightly press inward for a secure

and comfortable fit.

You may find it helpful to pull

your ear slightly upward or to the

back. Once inserted, you should

be able to feel if the hearing

instrument is correctly positioned.

Tip:

Practice inserting and removing

your hearing instrument correctly.

An easy way to practice is to sit

down at a table. Place a mirror in

front of you and prop your elbows

on the table so you can guide

your hands easily and safely. This

will help you stay relaxed and

comfortable while you practice.

To remove the hearing instrument,

push lightly on the back of your

ear to help loosen it or pull gently

on your ear. Then using your index

finger, slowly pull the hearing

instrument from your ear.

The completely-in-the-canal

hearing instruments can be

removed by pulling the small

removal cord toward the back

of your head.

Caution:

Never pull on the battery com-

partment door or volume control

wheel to remove the hearing

instrument, as this could cause

damage to your hearing

instrument.

Turning your hearing

system on and off

Using the battery compartment

Insert a battery into your ARTIS hearing instrument and com-

pletely close the compartment to turn the instrument on. To

turn the instrument off using the battery compartment, open

the compartment completely.

Using the program button

Your hearing instrument may also be programmed to allow

you to turn it on and off using the program button.

To turn your hearing instrument off using the program

button, press and hold the button for approximately 2

seconds.

To turn your hearing instrument on again, press and hold

the program button for approximately 2 seconds.

Please note that after having turned the instrument off

using the program button, you must wait approximately

10 seconds for the system to reset before turning the

instrument back in again by using the button.

Power-on Delay

Your hearing instrument may be equipped with an advanced

"Power-on Delay" feature. This feature delays sound from

entering your hearing instrument when it is first turned on,

so that you may insert the hearing instrument in to your ear

without experiencing unpleasant feedback (whistling).
