Welcome to a world of better hearing! We understand
that hearing loss affects one's quality of life. That is
why we are dedicated to building the highest quality
hearing instruments. Your new hearing instruments
will soon be indispensable to you and will bring new
pleasure and enjoyment to your life.
Our company was established in 1990 and is wellknown internationally for offering high quality,
reliable, state-of-the-art technology. These Over-theEar (OTE) hearing instruments have been
programmed or adjusted to your individual hearing
loss to precisely fit your hearing and communication
requirements. If necessary, your hearing healthcare
provider can make further modifications to enhance
your listening experience.
A period of adjustment may be needed to become
accustomed to your new hearing aids and the renewed
world of sounds you will experience. The adjustment
time varies for each individual and may be as little as a
couple of weeks to as long as several months. Allow
yourself time to become familiar with those sounds you
have not heard for a long time.
Before operating your hearing instruments, please read
this manual thoroughly.

battery
information
When the hearing instrument is not in use, it
is recommended that you open the battery
door and remove the battery. This helps to
prevent excessive battery drain and allows for
proper ventilation of the hearing instrument.
The low battery detection system
continuously monitors battery life.
When the battery becomes low, the low
battery warning sequence consisting of 3
double beeps is initiated. After the warning
beeps are complete, normal operation
resumes.
The low battery warning sequence will repeat
every 10 minutes until the battery becomes
critically low. At that time, the end of the
battery life warning sequence consisting of 6
double beeps is issued. The device is then
muted and put into low power sleep mode.
Battery replacement will then be required.
The volume of the low battery indicator can
be adjusted by your hearing healthcare
provider.

left and right
instruments
If you are wearing hearing instruments on both
ears, it is important to use the correct device in
each ear. The sound tubes are marked with
“red” lettering for the Right ear and “blue”
lettering for the Left ear.
Turning the Hearing Aid On and Off:
To turn your hearing
instrument “on”,
you simply need to
close the battery
door after inserting a
battery.
There are two ways
to turn your hearing
instrument “off”:
1. Grasp the notch
on the battery door
and pull it until one
click is felt. Your
instrument is now “off ”.
2. You may choose to open the battery door
completely which will also turn off the hearing
instrument.
