Becoming Accustomed to Amplification
While purch asing a hearing system is a m ajor step, it is only one step in a pro cess toward more comforta ble hearing. Successfully adapting to the amplification your hear ing system provides takes time and consistent use. You will enjoy more benefits from your Interton hearing system by taking the following actions:
• Wear the system regularly in order to get comfor table with using it.
• It takes time to get used to a hearing aid. It may help to begin by wearing your hearing aid for short periods – even as little as 15 minutes – and then gradually building up your wearing time. In a way, it’s no different than adjusting to contact lenses. Speak to you hearing care professional, who can design a schedule tailored just for you.
• As you get more comfortable with the system, increase the wearing time and wear your hearing system in multiple types of listening environments.
It may take as long as several months for your brain to get used to all the “new” sounds around you. Fol­lowing these suggestions will give your brain time to learn how to interpret amplification and increase the benefits you get from using an Interton hearing system.

on just prior to placing them on your ear, your hearing care professional can activate a function called Delayed on-activation. This function will delay the time in which the hearing instruments turn on by several seconds af ter the battery comp artment is closed. Wi th Delayed on-activation, a be ep will be heard for each second of the delay period.
Inserting/Replacing the battery
1. Open the battery door completely by using your fingernail.
2. Remove the used battery if present. Insert the new battery with the positive side in the correct position.
3. Gently close the battery door.
i
Always use new Zinc-Air batteries that have a minimum remaining shelf-life
of 1 year.
Getting started
On&Off function
1. When the battery door is closed, the hearing instrument turns on, and the default program will be activ ated.
2. To turn off the hearing instrument, open the battery door. Many individuals can use their fingernail to pull it open.
i

Low batter y indicato r
Your hearing care professional can set your hearing instrument to give an acoustical indication when the battery is reaching its end of life. The hearing instrument will reduce amplification and emit a melody if bat­tery power gets too low. This signal will recur ever y five minutes until the hearing instrument automatically switches off. It is recommended that you keep spare batteries on hand.
Low batter y indicato r (instrume nts paired wi th accesso ries only)
Active usage of the Interton wireless accessories (Remote Control, Phone Clip and T V Streamer) requires more battery power from the hearing instruments than when these are working on their own. When the battery in the hearing instrument has depleted to a level at which use of the Interton T V Streamer TV and Phone Clip cannot be supported, the hearing instrument will play two sets of descending tones. After this, your hearing instrument and Inter ton Remote Control will continue to work as usual, but you will not be able to use your Interton TV Streamer and Phone Clip. At some point the battery level will not support the remote control either and you will once again hear the descending tones. The hearing instruments will continue to work as usual. Once a new battery is inserted, full operation of the accessories will resume.
i WARNING
1. Remove the batteries to prevent leakage when the hearing instruments are not in use for an extended period of time.
2. Do not attempt to recharge batteries (Zinc Air) which are not specifically designated as rechargeable because they may leak or explode.
3. Do not place batteries in your mouth. Consult a physician immediately if a battery has been swallowed, as they can be harmful to your health.
4. Keep batteries away from pets, children and individuals who are mentally challenged.
5. Do not attempt to dispose of batteries by burning them. Used batteries are harmful to the environment. Please dispose of them according to local regulations or return them to your hearing care practitioner.
