Push Button Micro RIC 312 Overview

Preparation

Batteries

Your hearing instrument uses a battery as its power

source. This battery size can be identiﬁed by the brown

(312) color code on the packaging.

To insert or replace the battery:

1. Use the nail grip on the battery door.

2. Open the battery door gently and remove

the old battery.

3. Remove the colored tab from the new battery.

4. Align the battery’s “+” sign (ﬂat side of the battery)

with the “+” on the battery door.

5. Close the battery door.

Battery Indicators

An indicator will sound when the battery voltage is low.

You have approximately ﬁve minutes*to replace the

battery. An indicator may also sound just before the

battery stops working.

* Actual time between low battery indicator and shut down will vary depending on

environmental noise levels and brand of battery used.

Preparation

WARNINGS

Batteries are dangerous if swallowed. To help

prevent the accidental ingestion of batteries:

Keep out of reach of children and pets

Check your medications before taking them –

batteries have been mistaken for pills

Never put batteries in your mouth, as they can

easily be swallowed

Preparation

Helpful Hints

• NEVER FORCE THE BATTERY DOOR SHUT.

This could result in serious damage; if the door

will not close securely, check that the battery is

inserted correctly.

• Do not open the battery door too far or damage

is likely to occur.

• Dispose of used batteries immediately in the

proper waste or recycling container.

• Batteries vary in size and performance. Your

hearing professional is your best source for lifespan

estimates and veriﬁcation that you are using the

proper size and type.

Preparation

Insertion and Removal

To insert the earbud or earmold:

1. Hold the cable at the bend in

front of the receiver with your

thumb and foreﬁnger. Gently

insert the receiver into your

ear canal.

2. Wrap the hearing instrument

over the top of your ear,

carefully placing it behind

your ear.

3. Place the retention lock inside

the bowl of your ear.

To remove the earbud or earmold:

• Remove the retention lock from

the bowl of your ear.

• Remove the hearing instrument

from behind your ear.

• Grasp the receiver with your

thumb and foreﬁnger. Gently

pull out of your ear canal.

Do not pull with the hearing

instrument case as this may damage

the connection.

Preparation

Helpful Hints

• Minor irritation and/or inﬂammation may occur as

your ear becomes accustomed to having an object

in it; if so, please contact your hearing professional.

• If an actual allergic reaction occurs, alternative

earmold materials are available; contact your

hearing professional.

• Severe swelling, discharge from the ear, excessive

wax or other unusual conditions warrant immediate

consultation with a physician.
