WARNING
This hearing aid is capable of producing a sound pressure level exceeding 132 dB SPL. There may be a risk of damaging
your residual hearing.
NOTE
In addition to these user instructions, a separate user manual
is provided describing the various ear-set solutions available
for your hearing aid: “Ear-sets for Coselgi BTE hearing aids”.
WARNING
This booklet and the manual “Ear-sets for Coselgi BTE hearing
aids” contain important information and instructions. Read
these booklets carefully before you start using the hearing aid.
NOTE
Your hearing aid, ear-set and accessories may not look exactly as illustrated in this booklet. We also reserve the right to
make any changes considered necessary.

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 moderate (40 dB HL) to
severe-to-profound (100 dB HL) 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.

The battery
We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 13 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 gently swing the battery drawer
open.
Place the battery in the drawer, so that the plus (+) sign
on the battery faces upward. You can use the battery
magnet provided to steer the battery into place.
If the battery drawer 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
The hearing aid may be provided
with a battery drawer lock. This lock
can be a good choice if the hearing
aid is worn by a child. A special tool
for opening the lock will be included when ordering the lock (see the
drawing).
The lock is opened by pushing it to the right and then
downward with the tool in
one movement as illustrated.
11
Low battery indication
For 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.
12
Turning the hearing aid on and off
The battery drawer of the hearing aid also functions as
the on/off switch.
Push the switch upwards to turn on
the hearing aid.
Push the switch downwards to turn off
the hearing aid.
The word “OFF” is clearly visible on
the switch when the hearing aid is
turned 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.
