completely with the battery in place.

and the instrument is operating.
Turn OFF your hearing instrument by opening the battery door
slightly until a click is felt.
To preserve the battery, make sure your hearing instrument is
switched off when you are not wearing it.

Putting on your instrument
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 down your earlope 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.
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 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

Changing batteries
Your hearing instrument battery size is 312
A worn out battery should be removed
immediately.
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 with moderate intervals to indi-
cate 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 instru-
ment is no longer operating.
It is not an indication of a malfunction.
To replace the battery, follow these instructions:
Open the battery door completely by pushing the raised
edge in the bottom of the instrument. Remove
the old battery.
Remove the sticky label from + side of the new battery.
Insert the new battery so that its + marking faces the + 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 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.
