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

about inserting, removing and use of your ACURISTM hearing

system. There are also tips and information on proper hand-

ling, cleaning, care and changing of the batteries. In addi-

tion, 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 hearing loss have

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

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

loss in both ears will benefit from wearing two 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 ACURIS hearing

system.

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.

Inserting the battery

Open the battery compartment

with your fingernail as shown in

the illustration.

Swivel open the battery compart-

ment door, if not already open.

Place the proper size battery

(Type 13) so that the "+” symbol

on the battery coincides with the

"+” marked on the battery com-

partment.

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 feel you cannot change the battery yourself, ask

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

hearing instrument specialist.

010604402_Siemens_UG_Acuris_Bte 19.12.2005 11:20 Uhr Seite 5

Gently close the battery compart-

ment by pressing the bottom of

the door upward with your finger

tip. Do not force the door shut. If

it does not close easily, check to

see if the battery was inserted

properly. When the battery door

is completely closed, your hearing

instrument is ready for use.

Removing the battery

Normally the battery drops out

when the compartment is comple-

tely open. If the battery does not

come out, lightly tap the system or

push the battery out with a pencil

as shown.

Low battery indicator

Your hearing system may be programmed to inform you

when the battery should be replaced for best system perfor-

mance. You may hear an intermittent series of beeps and/or

experience low amplification power or volume. Change the

battery when either of these occurs.

If you have an ePocket remote control, 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.

Do NOT throw used batteries into household trash.

Return them to your hearing instrument specialist for

environmentally correct disposal.

Battery compartment door lock

Your instruments are equipped

with battery compartment door

locks.

They are intended to prevent the

unintentional removal of batteries

from their compartment.

To lock the battery compartment,

open the compartment door to the

first stop. Push the slide to the

right with a suitable tool.

To unlock the battery compart-

ment again, open the compart-

ment door to the first stop. Push

the slide to the left with a suitable

tool.

Your hearing instrument specialist

can further instruct you on the use

of this feature, if necessary.

Inserting and removing

your ACURIS BTE

Make sure that your hearing

instrument is turned off. Hold the

earmold between your thumb and

index finger and insert it carefully

into your ear canal. You may find

it helpful to pull your ear slightly

upward or to the back. Gently

work the earmold into its proper

position by adjusting it until it is

firmly seated in your ear. Once

inserted, you should feel whether

the earmold is placed correctly.

Next, place your hearing instru-

ment behind your ear and turn it

on.

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.
