Inserting your hearing instrument

• Your hearing instruments

may have a right/left-

identiﬁcation. Red=Right,

Blue=Left

• Turn off the hearing

instrument.

• Hold the plastic tube as

shown.

• Place the tip of the

earmould into your ear

canal, twisting it slightly,

and make sure that the top

part of the earmould (A) is

pushed under the fold of

your ear (B).

• Gently, pull down your ear

lobe and press the earmould

in the direction of the ear

canal.

• With the earmould correctly

positioned, slide the hearing

instrument over the top of your

ear to rest behind it.

• Turn on the hearing instrument

and adjust the volume control

until you hear the beeps

indicating the preferred

volume control level. This

feature is optional.

Function switch

Your hearing aid has a 3-position switch for switching

between different programs.

• When you switch between different programs, your

hearing instrument will beep.

• Operate the function switch to change program. The

number of beeps will indicate which program you

are using if beeps are enabled.

Your hearing instrument can have up to three different

programs.

Please note that one program may be programmed as

an off position. (Optional)

One beep, when you switch to program 1

Two beeps, when you switch to program 2

Three beeps, when you switch to program 3

Telecoil

The telecoil is meant for telephone conversations and

for loop systems in e.g. theatres, churches or lecture

rooms.

The telecoil is activated by operating the function

switch. When activated you will hear a certain number

of beeps.

Your telecoil can be disabled if you do not wish to use

it. This will also disable DAI/FM functionality.

Volume Control

This wheel allows you to adjust the sound level in

different listening situations. The preferred volume

control level can be indicated by three beeps. This

level has been programmed according to your

preferences. Consult your Hearing Care Professional

if you ﬁnd this level too loud or too weak in most

situations.

Turning up the control increases the volume.

Maximum setting (4) gives you the loudest sound.

Turning down the control decreases the volume.

Minimum setting (1) gives you the quietest sound.

If you turn the wheel below (1) you can feel a click

and the instrument will turn off.

Your Volume Control can be disabled if you do

not wish to use it. This will also disable the off

functionality in the Volume Control.

Changing batteries

A worn-out battery should be removed immediately.

When battery power is low, you will hear a series

of two beeps. If the status light is programmed to

be steady on, it will turn off. This indicates that it

is time to change the battery. It is not an indication

of malfunction. To replace the battery, follow these

instructions:

• Open the battery drawer

by pushing back the

raised edge and remove

the old battery.

• Remove the sticky label

from the + side of the

new battery

• Insert the new battery (size 675, preferably

dedicated super power battery) so that its + sign

faces the + sign printed on the top of the battery

drawer.

• The battery drawer should close easily. If you feel

any resistance it could be that you have placed

the battery incorrectly. Reinsert the battery and try

again.

Any moisture on the battery surface should be wiped

off before use. When you change batteries, it may take

a couple of minutes before the new battery works with

full effect.

Disposal:

• Check with your Hearing Care Professional about

arrangements for battery disposal. They may have a

system for disposing of them.

• Never try to charge non-rechargeable batteries.

• Never dispose of batteries with household waste.

They cause environmental pollution.

• Never dispose of batteries by burning them. There

is a risk that they will explode and cause serious

injury.

Extended Communication

The beneﬁt from your hearing instruments can be

increased in difﬁcult listening situations. Your hearing

instruments are compatible with ear level FM systems,

which can allow you to hear a person talking at a

distance without interference from background noise.

You can also access interference-free audio signals via

the Direct Audio Input (DAI).

Mounting of accessories

Note: Your accessories safely lock into the battery

drawer.

Tamper-resistant battery drawer

(optional)

This option is strongly recommended for infants, small

children, and people with learning difﬁculties.

Instructions: To remove the battery, open the battery

drawer. (If a DAI shoe is mounted, the shoe has to be

removed). Insert the end of a ballpoint or the like into

the small recess in the corner. Push the battery with

the ballpoint until the battery is released.

Important: Do not force the battery drawer beyond

its fully open position. Insert the battery correctly.

Excessive strain can deform the battery drawer, which

will reduce its tamper resistant effectiveness.

Ear level FM systems

When using an Ear level FM system, set your program

switch to your telecoil program allowing you to hear

the external signal. Please note that your instrument

may be set up with one or more telecoil programs that

do not allow you to listen to the external signal. Your

Hearing Care Professional can change this if desired.

Consult your Hearing Care Professional for advice and

purchase information about Ear level FM systems.

Dedicated receiver for Lexis

Users of Lexis can choose the dedicated LE-7 receiver

for Sumo DM, which conveniently eliminates the need

for an adaptor shoe and provides a smaller proﬁle

compared to a universal receiver.

Consult your Hearing Care Professional for advice and

purchase information about Ear level FM systems.

Direct Audio Input (DAI)

DAI provides access

to interference-free

audio signals from

external sources (such

as radio, TV, PC Audio

output, personal CD

players, etc). The signal

is received directly

into your hearing

instruments by using

a speciﬁed cord and

coupling shoe.

When using a Direct Audio Input device, set your

program switch to your telecoil program allowing

you to hear the external signal. Please note that your

instrument may be set up with one or more telecoil

programs that do not allow you to listen to the external

signal. Your Hearing Care Professional can change this

if desired.

Consult your Hearing Care Professional for advice and

purchase information about DAI coupling shoe and

cords.

Adjustment of DAI

Note: Adjust your DAI shoe according to application

and level of input signal.

Step 1

Adjustment according to the

equipment the instrument is

to be connected to.

Hi setting: Radio, TV,

Walkman, MP3, PC

equipment.

Lo setting: Ear level FM

system and body worn FM

equipment.

Step 2

Adjust the input level control

to a comfortable level.

Note: When your DAI is

connected to mains operated

equipment (such as a TV),

this equipment must comply

with IEC-60065, IEC-60601 or

equivalent safety standards.
