Battery Size

Your hearing instruments use a size 13 battery. Your

batteries have an orange mark on the package.

It is very important to use the correct size and type

battery for your hearing instrument.

Because of their size, it’s a

good idea to change and

replace batteries at a table

or desk to reduce the risk

of dropping the instrument

or battery.

To insert or replace the

battery, open the battery

compartment by placing your

ﬁngernail under the edge of

the swing-out door and gently

pull away from the instrument.

Do not open the battery door

too far or damage is likely

to occur.

Changing Batteries

Remove the old battery by

pushing it out the top of the

fully opened door.

DO NOT pull it out the side

of the door.

Place the new battery in the compartment

with the plus (+) sign facing up.

Close the battery compartment by swinging the door

until it snaps shut. NEVER FORCE THE DOOR SHUT.

This could result in serious damage. If the door will

not close easily, check that the battery is placed

properly in the compartment and is not upside down.

Low Battery Indicator

An indicator will sound when the battery’s voltage is

low. You have approximately 15* minutes to replace

the battery. An indicator will sound just before the

battery stops working.

* Actual time between low battery indicator and

shutdown will vary depending on environmental

noise level and battery brand.

Locking the Battery Compartment

Your BTE has a tamper

resistant, locking battery

compartment. The lock switch

is located on the bottom of

the battery door. Locking

the battery compartment

is not necessary for normal

operation.

To lock the door, use an

appropriate tool to slide the

recessed switch to the left until

it “clicks” and the colored

mark is visible.

BATTERIES

Battery Caution

Because batteries can vary in performance, your

hearing professional is your best source for lifespan

estimates and veriﬁcation that you are using the

proper size and type.

To help prevent the accidental ingestion of batteries,

keep them out of the reach of children and pets.

Always check your medication before ingesting –

batteries have been mistaken for pills.

Never put batteries in your mouth for any reason, as

they can easily be unintentionally swallowed.

Dispose of used batteries immediately, using

the proper waste or recycling receptacle.

m WARNING:

HEARING INSTRUMENT BATTERIES ARE

DANGEROUS IF SWALLOWED.

ON, OFF AND VOLUME CONTROL

Before placing the BTE with an earmold into your ear,

be sure the battery is inserted and the battery door is

closed securely.

To insert the earmold, hold it with your thumb

and foreﬁnger on the outer side near the tubing.

Gently insert the canal tip into your ear canal.

Then gently press the earmold

into place with your ﬁnger.

Carefully place the instrument

over the top of the ear until it

rests securely in place.

To remove, take the instrument

from behind your ear and

gently pull the earmold

outward. Pulling down on

the earlobe may help loosen

the earmold as it is removed.

EARMOLD INSERTION AND REMOVAL

To preserve battery life, it is recommended that you

turn your instrument “off” any time it is not in use.

Open the battery compartment to turn the

instrument off.

The volume control enables you to adjust the amount

of ampliﬁcation provided by the instrument.

You may wish to change volume levels as you

encounter different listening situations. To change

the volume, use your ﬁngertip to rotate the vertical

volume control. Your hearing instruments may

“beep” when you reach the correct setting.

10 11

MULTIMEMORY SETTINGSON, OFF AND VOLUME CONTROL

The numbers on the control

provide an orientation for the proper

volume setting. When the control

is set at “4,“ the volume is at the

maximum level.

To make sounds louder, rotate the

control upward. To make sounds

softer, rotate the control downward.

The softest level is set at “1.”

The multimemory push button

allows you to select a different

setting for your current

listening environment. For

example, when you are using

the telephone or sitting in a

noisy restaurant.

When ﬁrst turned on, your instruments are

programmed for normal listening environments.

The additional settings are accessed by pressing the

button on the hearing instrument.

USING THE TELEPHONE

Your hearing instruments are equipped with

telecoils to help you effectively communicate

on the telephone.

Your hearing instruments have the following

telephone setting(s):

Telecoil. The telecoil is located in memory

position _____________.

A beep or indicator tone is enabled on your

instruments to signal you when the device

switches to the telephone setting.

Telecoil and Manual Switching

Press the memory button to access

the telecoil setting. A tone series

will indicate when the device is in

the telecoil setting.

Ask your hearing professional how

to optimize telephone use with your

hearing aids.

HANDLING AND CARE

Your hearing instruments represent the ultimate

in miniature technology, especially when you

consider the environment in which they function.

Heat, moisture and foreign substances can result in

degraded performance.

Proper care and maintenance go a long way toward

ensuring trouble-free performance. Do your best

to keep the hearing instruments clean at all times.

Handling the hearing instruments with clean hands

is a good starting point.

HANDLING AND CARE

Custom Earmold Cleaning and Care

• Separate the hearing

instrument from the

earmold for cleaning

• Clean the earmolds

daily using a soft,

damp cloth

• You may use warm soapy water to clean the

earmold; be certain that the instrument is

detached and far away from any moisture

before washing the earmold

General Cleaning Information

• It is a good idea to perform

all cleaning and battery

changes above a soft cloth

on a desk or table; this will

keep the instrument from

a damaging fall to a hard

surface if dropped

• Never use water, solvents, cleaning uids or oil

to clean your instruments

• Be careful not to insert the cleaning tools into

the inside of the hearing aid and never take your

hearing instruments apart

HANDLING AND CARE

16 17

General Care Information

• Store your hearing instruments in a dry, safe

place away from direct sunlight or heat to avoid

extreme temperature

• When not wearing your hearing instruments, turn

them off and open the battery compartment door

• Do not wear your hearing

instruments while using

hair spray, spray paint,

or any other sticky

sprays that can clog

the microphone

• Store your instruments

where you can easily ﬁnd

them, but safely out of

reach of pets and children;

hearing instruments

can attract curious pets

resulting in possible

damage or being chewed

beyond repair

HANDLING AND CARE

Keep Your Hearing Instruments Away From Moisture

• Your instruments may be

so comfortable that you

forget you are wearing

them; develop the habit of

checking your ears before

going swimming or taking

a shower; do the same

with clothing pockets

before they are washed

• Should your hearing

instruments get wet,

dispose of the battery

and set the instrument

on a towel in a safe

place, leaving the battery

compartment door open to promote air

drying overnight

• Never try to dry out hearing instruments by

putting them in a microwave or oven, or using a

blow dryer
