Battery Size
Your hearing instruments use a size 13 battery. Your
batteries have an orange mark on the package.
It is very important to use the correct size and type
battery for your hearing instrument.
Because of their size, it’s a
good idea to change and
replace batteries at a table
or desk to reduce the risk
of dropping the instrument
or battery.
To insert or replace the
battery, open the battery
compartment by placing your
fingernail under the edge of
the swing-out door and gently
pull away from the instrument.
Do not open the battery door
too far or damage is likely
to occur.
Changing Batteries
Remove the old battery by
pushing it out the top of the
fully opened door.
DO NOT pull it out the side
of the door.
Place the new battery in the compartment
with the plus (+) sign facing up.
Close the battery compartment by swinging the door
until it snaps shut. NEVER FORCE THE DOOR SHUT.
This could result in serious damage. If the door will
not close easily, check that the battery is placed
properly in the compartment and is not upside down.
Low Battery Indicator
An indicator will sound when the battery’s voltage is
low. You have approximately 15* minutes to replace
the battery. An indicator will sound just before the
battery stops working.
* Actual time between low battery indicator and
shutdown will vary depending on environmental
noise level and battery brand.

Locking the Battery Compartment
Your BTE has a tamper
resistant, locking battery
compartment. The lock switch
is located on the bottom of
the battery door. Locking
the battery compartment
is not necessary for normal
operation.
To lock the door, use an
appropriate tool to slide the
recessed switch to the left until
it “clicks” and the colored
mark is visible.

Battery Caution
Because batteries can vary in performance, your
hearing professional is your best source for lifespan
estimates and verification that you are using the
proper size and type.
To help prevent the accidental ingestion of batteries,
keep them out of the reach of children and pets.
Always check your medication before ingesting –
batteries have been mistaken for pills.
Never put batteries in your mouth for any reason, as
they can easily be unintentionally swallowed.
Dispose of used batteries immediately, using
the proper waste or recycling receptacle.

HEARING INSTRUMENT BATTERIES ARE
DANGEROUS IF SWALLOWED.

ON, OFF AND VOLUME CONTROL
Before placing the BTE with an earmold into your ear,
be sure the battery is inserted and the battery door is
closed securely.
To insert the earmold, hold it with your thumb
and forefinger on the outer side near the tubing.
Gently insert the canal tip into your ear canal.
Then gently press the earmold
into place with your finger.
Carefully place the instrument
over the top of the ear until it
rests securely in place.
To remove, take the instrument
from behind your ear and
gently pull the earmold
outward. Pulling down on
the earlobe may help loosen
the earmold as it is removed.
EARMOLD INSERTION AND REMOVAL
To preserve battery life, it is recommended that you
turn your instrument “off” any time it is not in use.
Open the battery compartment to turn the
instrument off.
The volume control enables you to adjust the amount
of amplification provided by the instrument.
You may wish to change volume levels as you
encounter different listening situations. To change
the volume, use your fingertip to rotate the vertical
volume control. Your hearing instruments may
“beep” when you reach the correct setting.
10 11
MULTIMEMORY SETTINGSON, OFF AND VOLUME CONTROL
The numbers on the control
provide an orientation for the proper
volume setting. When the control
is set at “4,“ the volume is at the
maximum level.
To make sounds louder, rotate the
control upward. To make sounds
softer, rotate the control downward.
The softest level is set at “1.”
The multimemory push button
allows you to select a different
setting for your current
listening environment. For
example, when you are using
the telephone or sitting in a
noisy restaurant.
When first turned on, your instruments are
programmed for normal listening environments.
The additional settings are accessed by pressing the
button on the hearing instrument.

USING THE TELEPHONE
Your hearing instruments are equipped with
telecoils to help you effectively communicate
on the telephone.
Your hearing instruments have the following
telephone setting(s):
Telecoil. The telecoil is located in memory
position _____________.
A beep or indicator tone is enabled on your
instruments to signal you when the device
switches to the telephone setting.
Telecoil and Manual Switching
Press the memory button to access
the telecoil setting. A tone series
will indicate when the device is in
the telecoil setting.
Ask your hearing professional how
to optimize telephone use with your
hearing aids.
HANDLING AND CARE
Your hearing instruments represent the ultimate
in miniature technology, especially when you
consider the environment in which they function.
Heat, moisture and foreign substances can result in
degraded performance.
Proper care and maintenance go a long way toward
ensuring trouble-free performance. Do your best
to keep the hearing instruments clean at all times.
Handling the hearing instruments with clean hands
is a good starting point.

HANDLING AND CARE
Custom Earmold Cleaning and Care
• Separate the hearing
instrument from the
earmold for cleaning
• Clean the earmolds
daily using a soft,
damp cloth
• You may use warm soapy water to clean the
earmold; be certain that the instrument is
detached and far away from any moisture
before washing the earmold
General Cleaning Information
• It is a good idea to perform
all cleaning and battery
changes above a soft cloth
on a desk or table; this will
keep the instrument from
a damaging fall to a hard
surface if dropped
• Never use water, solvents, cleaning uids or oil
to clean your instruments
• Be careful not to insert the cleaning tools into
the inside of the hearing aid and never take your
hearing instruments apart
HANDLING AND CARE

General Care Information
• Store your hearing instruments in a dry, safe
place away from direct sunlight or heat to avoid
extreme temperature
• When not wearing your hearing instruments, turn
them off and open the battery compartment door
• Do not wear your hearing
instruments while using
hair spray, spray paint,
or any other sticky
sprays that can clog
the microphone
• Store your instruments
where you can easily find
them, but safely out of
reach of pets and children;
hearing instruments
can attract curious pets
resulting in possible
damage or being chewed
beyond repair

Keep Your Hearing Instruments Away From Moisture
• Your instruments may be
so comfortable that you
forget you are wearing
them; develop the habit of
checking your ears before
going swimming or taking
a shower; do the same
with clothing pockets
before they are washed
• Should your hearing
instruments get wet,
dispose of the battery
and set the instrument
on a towel in a safe
place, leaving the battery
compartment door open to promote air
drying overnight
• Never try to dry out hearing instruments by
putting them in a microwave or oven, or using a
blow dryer
