Purpose
Hearing systems are developed to improve
hearing. The essential function of a hearing
system is to pick up the sound, amplify it
and reproduce the signal at the ear drum of
the hearing-impaired person. Your hear-
ing system is suitable for compensating for
sensorineural and combined hearing loss, as
well as for combating tinnitus with pan Ti.
Warning note for the hearing aid acoustician/
doctor: This hearing system can generate an
output sound pressure level of 132 dBSPL.
Particular care must be taken when adjust-
ing the device as there is a risk of damage
to the user’s residual hearing.

Inserting or changing the battery
When inserting a new battery, please make
sure that the +-pole is on the same side
as the +-sign in the battery compartment.
When replacing a battery, please ensure
that you remove the old battery first before
inserting the new one.
Only use zinc air batteries in size 312.
Please note that a weak battery may impair
the transmission characteristics of your
hearing system.
Applying the external receiver
Put on your spectacles including the hearing
system. Take hold of the receiver tube
at the bend and press the earpiece into the
auditory canal (see diagram below). The
earpiece should be inserted into the ear until
the receiver tube lies against it. Once the
earpiece is correctly placed, the receiver
tube should not be protruding from the ear
when observed in the mirror.
Caution: Never try to change the shape of
the tube system yourself.
Removing the external receiver
Take the receiver tube in your thumb and
forefinger and withdraw it carefully from the
auditory canal (see diagram below). Please
contact your hearing aid acoustician/doctor
if you have difficulty removing it.

User Instruction
Battery warning tone
Your hearing system will alert you when the
battery voltage is low. A series of tones will
remind you of this situation, until you change
the battery or it runs out completely. The
hearing system will then switch off auto-
matically. We therefore recommend always
keeping a new battery readily available. All
functions are automatically restored once a
new battery has been inserted.
Warnings as regards the battery
Batteries contain dangerous substances
and should be carefully stored for your own
safety and that of your environment. Please
retain the used batteries and return them
to your hearing aid acoustician/ doctor for
correct disposal. Do not try to recharge
batteries that are not intended for such a
purpose, as they may expire or explode.
You must never destroy used batteries by
burning them. Keep out of reach of children.
If a child happens to swallow a battery, seek
immediate medical attention.

Operation
Switch-on delay
When programming your hearing system,
your hearing aid acoustician/doctor can
activate a switch-on delay. This allows
you to apply the hearing system’s external
receiver comfortably in the ear without any
experiencing disturbing whistling caused by
acoustic feedback. After closing the battery
compartment, the hearing system will switch
on after the programmed time.
Switching on/off
• If the battery compartment is fully
closed, the hearing system will be
switched on and programme 1 is activated.
• By opening the battery compartment ,
you will switch off the hearing system.
The easiest way to do so is by opening the
compartment with your fingernail.
Programme selection button
If your hearing aid acoustician/doctor has
programmed several programmes into your
hearing system, you can select these using
the programme selection button. You will
hear one or more tones that signal which
programme you have just selected
(1 signal tone = programme 1;
2 signal tones = programme 2; etc.).
