Changing batteries
The correct battery size appears in the “Instrument View”
in the first section of this document.
A worn out battery should be removed immediately
and disposed of according to local regulations.
When the battery power is low, you will hear 2 beeps.
This pre-warning starts when the battery has only a
few hours of operation left. The pre-warning will be
repeated in moderate intervals to indicate it is time
to change the battery.
If the battery runs out the instrument turns off. When
that happens, 4 beeps are played to indicate that the
instrument is no longer operating.
This is not an indication of a malfunction.

the instrument. To assist with the handling of the batteries, the magnet placed
at the end of the MultiTool can be used.

Ensure that the positive (+) marking faces the positive (+) sign printed on the
battery door. Close the battery door.

wiped off before use. When you change the battery,
it will take a few seconds before the battery works
to full capacity. MultiTool

Left/Right ear marking
Hearing instruments are fitted to the uniqueness of each ear, which means if you have
two instruments then your left hearing instrument is programmed differently from
your right. That is why it is important to distinguish between the left hearing instrument
and the right.
In order to easily identify whether it is the left ear or right ear instrument, colour markings
may be applied inside the battery door.
A blue dot marks the LEFT instrument.
A red dot marks the RIGHT instrument.
Putting on your instrument with earmould
Place the tip of the earmould in your ear canal, twisting
slightly, making sure that the top part of the earmould (A)
is pushed behind and under the fold (B) of your ear.
Gently pull up your ear and press the earmould in the
direction of the ear canal.
With the earmould positioned correctly in your ear,
place the hearing instrument behind your ear by lifting
its lower part and sliding it over the top of your ear.
