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 Melodia 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 (10 dB HL) to mod­erately severe (85 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.

Description of device

Your hearing aid is used with an ear-set which consists
of a tube and an ear-tip, dome or earmould. The hear­ing aid uses a proprietary wireless technology to ena­ble communication between the left and the right hear­ing aids, as well as between the hearing aids and its
accessories.

identification mark (red mark = right

The battery

We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 10 bat­tery for the hearing aid.

To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your
hearing care professional. It is important to take note
of the expiry date and the recommendations on the bat­tery pack regarding disposal of used batteries.

Inserting the battery

Before inserting a new battery into the hear­ing aid, remember to remove the adhesive
tab. Once the tab has been removed, the
battery will start functioning after a few sec­onds.

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. Do not press the drawer beyond the open po­sition.

Place the battery in the drawer as illustrated, so that the
plus (+) sign on the battery is facing towards you when
you hold the hearing aid as shown. 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

Removing the battery

1. Open the battery drawer as previously described.

Place the hearing aid on the provided cloth on a
clean, plane surface and turn it as illustrated.

2. Supporting the drawer with your finger, use the bat-

tery magnet provided to push the battery out of the
battery drawer from the minus side.

11

Battery drawer without a nail grip

The hearing aid may be provided
with a battery drawer without a nail
grip, which means that you need
a tool to open the battery drawer.
This type of drawer can be a good
choice if the hearing aid is worn by
a child. A special tool for opening
the drawer will be included with this
drawer.

The battery drawer is opened as il­lustrated.

12

Low battery indication

An acoustic indicator will sound when the battery is
nearly exhausted, unless this function has been dis­abled (see page 7). We recommend that you always
have a spare battery with you.

WARNING

Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing aid. Exhaust­ed 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.
