Off

Getting started

On/Off function

1. When the battery door is closed, the hearing instrument turns on, and the default program will be activ-

ated.

2. To turn off the hearing instrument, open the battery door. Many individuals can use their ﬁngernail to

pull it open.

SmartStart

Hearing instruments can be turned on once you have placed them on

your ears. If you prefer to turn them on just prior to placing them on your

ear, your hearing care professional can activate a function called Smart-

Start. This function will delay the time in which the hearing instruments

turn on after the battery compartment is closed. With SmartStart, a beep

will be heard for each second of the delay period.
