Changing batteries
Your hearing instrument battery size is 13.
A worn out battery should be removed immediately
and disposed of according to local regulations.
When the battery power is low, you will hear 2 beeps.
This pre-warning starts when the battery has only a
few hours of operation left. The pre-warning will be
repeated in moderate intervals to indicate it is time
to change the battery.
If the battery runs out the instrument turns off. When
that happens, 4 beeps are played to indicate that the
instrument is no longer operating.
This is not an indication of a malfunction.
98
To replace the battery, follow these instructions:
• Open the battery door completely by pushing the raised edge in the bottom of
the instrument. Remove the old battery.
• Remove the sticky label from the + side of the new battery.
• Insert the new battery so that its + marking faces the + sign printed on the
battery door. Close the battery door.
Any moisture on the battery surface should be wiped off before use.
When you change battery, it will take a few seconds before the battery works to full
capacity.
Turning your instrument ON and OFF
Turn ON your hearing instrument by closing the battery door completely with the battery
in place. When the battery door is closed the instrument will start up by playing a jingle.
This indicates that the battery is working and the instrument is operating.
Turn OFF your hearing instrument by opening the battery door slightly until a “click” is felt.
To preserve the battery, make sure your hearing instrument is switched off when
you are not wearing it.

Left/Right ear marking
Hearing instruments are fitted to the uniqueness of each ear, which means if you have
two instruments then your left hearing instrument is programmed differently from your
right. That is why it is important to distinguish between the left hearing instrument and
the right.
In order to easily identify whether it is the left ear or right ear instrument, colour markings
may be applied inside the battery door.
Blue marks the LEFT instrument.
Red marks the RIGHT instrument.
Putting on your instrument
with ear mould
Place the tip of the ear mould in your ear canal,
twisting slightly, making sure that the top part of the
ear mould (A) is pushed behind and under the fold (B)
of your ear.
Gently pull up your ear and press the ear mould in the
direction of the ear canal.
With the ear mould positioned correctly in your ear,
place the hearing instrument behind your ear by lifting
its lower part and sliding it over the top of your ear.

Putting on your hearing instruments
with a Corda 2 (thin tube)
Not available for BTE Power
Putting on your hearing instrument with a thin tube correctly
every time, takes practice:
1. Place the hearing instrument behind your ear.
2. Hold the bend of the tube between your thumb and index finger.
The dome should point towards the ear canal opening.
Gently push the dome into your ear canal until the sound tube
sits close against the side of your head.
3. Position the ear grip in concha using your index finger. Look in
a mirror. If the sound tube is sticking out from your ear, the dome
has not been placed correctly in the ear canal. If the ear grip is
visibly sticking out from your ear it has not been positioned
correctly. To remove the instrument pull the bend of the tube.
