Putting on the hearing instrument
Turn the device on. Place the speaker, with the ear
piece attached, into your ear first and then place the
amplifier behind your ear. If the instrument comes
with a Micro Mold, make sure that the colored dot
(blue or red) on the mold is facing towards the
amplifier unit (upwards) to ensure a correct position
in the ear canal.
Make sure that the ear piece is placed so that the
tube follows the contour of the skin.
If the instrument has an ear grip, place as indicated
in drawing 4.
Alternatively place the amplifier behind your ear. Put
the speaker into your ear canal.

Changing batteries
Your Dual hearing device uses either a size or
battery.
To replace the battery, follow these instructions:
Open the battery door completely by pushing the•
raised edge on the bottom of the instrument. To
assist with the handling of the batteries, the
magnet placed at the end of the MultiTool can be
used.
Remove the sticky label from the + side of the new•
battery.
The new battery may be inserted by using the•
magnetic end of the MultiTool. Ensure that the
positive (+) marking faces the positive (+) sign
printed on the battery door. Close the battery
door.
Any moisture on the battery surface should be wiped
off before use. When you change the battery, it will
take a few seconds before the battery works to full
capacity.
To assist the handling of the batteries, the magnet
placed at the end of the tool can be used.

AutoPhone
Your hearing instrument may have a built-in Auto-
Phone functionality. When the hearing instrument is
close to a telephone receiver, the AutoPhone will
activate a Phone Program. When the Phone Program
is activated you will hear a number of beeps.
When you end your telephone conversation, the
hearing instrument will automatically return to the
previous program.
Not all telephones can activate the AutoPhone.
The telephone receiver must have a special magnet
fitted. Please follow the separate instructions for
mounting the magnet, which is available from your
Hearing Care Professional.
Warning
If you use an AutoPhone magnet:
• Keep magnets out of reach of children and pets.
If a magnet is swallowed, see a doctor immedi-
ately.
• Do not keep the magnet in a breast pocket and
always keep it at least 12 inches away from
active implantable devices. Preferably, use the
telephone with magnet on the opposite side of
the body from a pacemaker or other active
implantable device.
• Keep the magnet inches away from credit
cards and other magnetically sensitive devices.
Caring for your hearing instrument
Your ear canal produces ear wax (cerumen) which
may clog up the earpiece. Therefore your hearing
instrument contains
a filter to prevent wax accumulation. Consult your
Hearing Care Professional for instructions about the
specific wax protection system in your hearing
instrument and how it can be replaced.
When handling a hearing instrument, keep it over a
soft surface to avoid damage if you drop it.
Before retiring at night:
Make sure that there is no ear wax in any of the•
earmold openings since it may reduce the hearing
instrument’s efficiency.
Open the battery door to allow air to circulate.•
Cleaning the instrument
A range of dedicated cleaning tools is prepared for the
special purpose of cleaning the instrument. These
should be used to ensure the best care and perform-
ance of your hearing instruments.
Use the cloth to wipe clean the surface of the
instruments.
Replace the brush when necessary. Just pull it out of
the tool and insert a new fresh brush. Press the new
one firmly into the handle.
BrushCover Handle
Daily maintenance- Micro Mold
The vent in the mold is cleaned by pressing the
brush through the hole while twisting it slightly.
The hearing instrument itself and the mold must
never be washed or immersed in water or other
liquids!

1. The tool has two ends, one with a new filter (A)
and one with the removal tool (B).

straight.
. Turn the tool 180°.

The wax filter should be changed:
When you can see that the filter placed in the•
Micro Mold is clogged.

normal.
