WARNING

This booklet contains important information and instructions.
Please read this booklet carefully before you start using the
hearing aid.

NOTE
Your hearing aid and accessories may not look exactly as il­lustrated in this booklet. We also reserve the right to make
any changes considered necessary.

7

Intended use

The hearing aids are intended as air conduction am­plification devices to be used in everyday listening en­vironments.

Indications for use

The devices are indicated for individuals with a range
of hearing loss severity from minimal (20 dB) to mod­erately severe (80 dB) and all hearing loss configura­tions.

They are to be programmed by licensed hearing care
professionals (audiologists, hearing aid specialists,
otolaryngologists) who are trained in hearing (re)ha­bilitation.

8

The battery

We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 312 bat-
tery for the hearing aid.

To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your
hearing care professional. It is important to take note
of the expiration date and the recommendations on
the battery pack regarding disposal of used batteries.
Otherwise there is a risk that the battery life may be
reduced.

Inserting the battery

Before inserting a new battery into the
hearing aid, remember to remove the
adhesive tab. Once the tab has been re­moved, wait 60 seconds before placing the
battery into the hearing aid.

CAUTION

Do not use batteries if there is a sticky residue from the tab or
other unwanted substance, as this can cause the hearing aid
to malfunction.

9

Use the nail grip to push the battery
compartment cover downwards and
open the cover. Do not press the bat­tery compartment cover beyond the
open position.

Place the battery so that the plus (+) sign of the battery
faces upwards.

You can use the battery magnet provided to steer the
battery into place.

If the battery compartment cover does not close easily,
the battery is incorrectly inserted.

When changing battery, it is a good idea to hold the
hearing aid over a table.

10

Low battery indication

Four rapid beep-tones will sound when the battery is
nearly exhausted, unless this function has been disa­bled. We recommend that you always have a spare
battery with you.

For adjustment of the beep-tone level or disabling of
the function, please consult your hearing care profes­sional.

WARNING

Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing aid. Exhaust-

ed batteries may leak, damaging the hearing aid.

WARNING

Your hearing aid may stop functioning, for instance if the
battery is exhausted. You should be aware of this possibility, in
particular when you are in traffic or are otherwise dependent
on warning signals.

11

Turning the hearing aid on and off

The battery compartment cover of your hearing aid
also functions as the on/off switch.

Close the battery compartment cover and push it up­wards to turn the hearing aid on.

Push the battery compartment cover downwards to
turn the hearing aid off.

Please remember to turn off the hearing aid when it is
not in use. Remove the battery if the hearing aid will
not be used for several days.

12

Function signals

Your hearing aid may be set to produce a signal to in­dicate the use of certain functions. The signal is tones
adjusted by the hearing care professional in consulta­tion with you. The signal can also be deactivated.

Right/left identification

If you are wearing hearing aids in both ears, it is easy
to tell them apart as the right-ear hearing aid has a red
logo or mark, and the left-ear hearing aid a blue one.
