Changing batteries

When the hearing instrument generates a warning signal it’s

advisable to change your battery as soon as possible. The signal

will continue as long as the battery is not changed or unless it does

not run out of power, and therefore it is advisable to keep an extra

battery at hand.

Remove ‘dead’ battery

Open the battery door by placing your ﬁngernail or a pencil on

the edge of the battery door and gently pull it down. When

opened, remove the dead battery by sliding it out as shown in the

drawing.

The replacement battery has to be of type: 13 zinc-air. Remove

the protective seal from the fresh battery and insert it in the battery

door, with the plus side facing down. You will recognize the plus

side of the battery because marked with a +. Check whether the +

symbols on the battery and on the battery door are on the same

side. Close the battery door. This should go smoothly, so never

force it as this could damage your instrument.
