Congratulations !
As the owner of a new hearing system, you may once again
enjoy the sounds of your environment, and conversation
with your family and friends.
These instructions as well as guidance from your hearing
instrument specialist will help you understand how your new
hearing system works. In this guide, you’ll find instructions
about the insertion, removal and use of your CIELOTM hearing
system. There are also tips and information on proper hand-
ling, cleaning, care and changing of the batteries. In addi-
tion, a troubleshooting section is offered for your reference.
Your hearing improvement with a hearing system depends
on the fit of the hearing instruments, the type and degree
of hearing loss, and proper diagnostic testing. Of course, a
hearing system cannot restore normal hearing, and not
everyone will benefit equally.
More than 80 percent of individuals with a hearing loss have
a hearing loss in both ears. Studies show that even when a
hearing loss is worse in one ear, most people with a hearing
loss in both ears will benefit from wearing two instruments.
Remember, a hearing system consists of finely-tuned devices
that have been specially designed and expertly adjusted for
your individual needs. Proper care and handling will ensure
the best possible performance of your CIELO hearing system.

Battery insertion and removal
Handling the battery
The protective tab on your
battery should only be removed
when you are ready to use the
battery.
Inserting the battery
Open the battery compartment
with your fingernail as shown in
the illustration.
Swivel open the battery compart-
ment door, if not already open.
Place the proper size battery so
that the "+” symbol on the battery
matches the "+” marked on the
battery compartment.
Three useful tips:
• The positive (+) side of the battery is always the
smooth side. You can recognize the negative (-) side
by the colored ring.
• Always keep spare batteries with you
• If you think you cannot change the battery by yourself,
ask someone to help you: a family member, friend or
your hearing instrument specialist.

Gently close the battery compart-
ment by pressing the bottom of
the door upward with your finger
tip. Do not force the door shut. If
it does not close easily, check to
see if the battery was inserted
properly. When the battery door
is completely closed, your hearing
instrument is ready for use.
Removing the battery
Normally the battery drops out
when the compartment is comple-
tely open. If the battery does not
come out, lightly tap the system or
push the battery out with a pencil
as shown.
Low battery indicator
Your hearing system may be programmed to inform you
when the battery should be replaced for best system perfor-
mance. You may hear an intermittent series of beeps and/or
experience low amplification power or volume. Change the
battery when either of these occurs.

Caution:
Keep batteries and instruments away from the reach of
small children.
Batteries can be harmful if swallowed.
If swallowed consult a physician or a hospital
immediately.
Change the batteries when any of the following occur:
- volume becomes softer or weak
- you hear a battery signal beep
Do NOT throw used batteries into household trash.
Return them to your hearing instrument specialist
for environmentally correct disposal.

Battery compartment door lock
Your instrument is equipped with
a battery compartment door lock.
They are intended to prevent the
unintentional removal of batteries
from their compartment.
To lock the battery compartment,
open the compartment door to the
first stop. Push the slide to the
right with a suitable tool.
To unlock the battery compart-
ment again, open the compart-
ment door to the first stop. Push
the slide to the left with a suitable
tool.
Your hearing instrument specialist
can further instruct you on the use
of this feature, if necessary.

Inserting and removing
your CIELO BTE
Make sure that your hearing
instrument is turned off. Hold the
earmold between your thumb and
index finger and insert it carefully
into your ear canal. You may find
it helpful to pull your ear slightly
upward or to the back. Gently
work the earmold into its proper
position by adjusting it until it is
firmly seated in your ear. Once
inserted, you should be able to
feel if the earmold is placed
correctly. Next, place your hearing
instrument behind your ear and
turn it on.
Tip:
Practice inserting and removing
your hearing instrument correctly.
An easy way to practice is to sit
down at a table. Place a mirror in
front of you and prop your elbows
on the table so you can guide
your hands easily and safely. This
will help you stay relaxed and
comfortable while you practice.
