prefer to turn them on just prior to placing them in your ears, your hearing care professional can activate a function called SmartStart. This function will delay the time in which
the hearing instruments turn on by several seconds after the batter y compartment is
closed. With SmartStar t, a beep will be heard for each second of the delay period.

hearing instrument). Remove the protective foil and wait 2 minutes before inserting the battery into the
hearing instrument to allow activation of the batter y.
