Turning your instruments
ON and OFF
Turn on your hearing instru ment by closing the
battery drawer completely.
When the battery drawer is closed
you will hear three beeps followed by a short series of beeps.
This indicates that the battery is
working.
Turn off your hearing instrument
by opening the battery drawer
slightly until a click is felt.
If you have dexterity problems
an alternative way of turning
off the hearing instrument is to
place the base of the hearing
instrument on a flat surface,
gently press and drag the
instrument as illustrated below.
The battery drawer will slightly
open (turning off the hearing
instrument).
On
Off
To preserve the battery, make sure your hearing
instrument is switched off when you are not wearing it.

Standby
A long push on the button (min. 3 seconds) will set
the instrument in standby mode. To reactivate the
instrument, push the button again.
Use the standby function if you need to silence the
instrument while you have the instrument on.
Putting on your hearing instruments
• Hold the earmould as
shown.
• Gently pull down your
earlobe and press the
earmould in the direction
of the ear canal.
• Place the tip of the
earmould in your ear canal,
twisting slightly, making
sure that the top part of
the earmould (A) is pushed
behind and under the fold
(B) of your ear.
• With the earmould
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.

Inserting hearing instruments with a
thin sound tube
Inserting your hearing instrument
with a thin tube correctly every
time, takes practice.
A. Place the hearing instrument
behind your ear.
B. Hold the bend of the tube
between your thumb and index
finger. The dome should be
pointing 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.
C. Position the ear grip into the
indentation above your ear lobe
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.
