Changing batteries
The correct battery size appears in the “Instrument View”
in the first section of this document.
A worn out battery should be removed immediately
and disposed of according to local regulations.
When the battery power is low, you will hear 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, beeps are played to indicate that the
instrument is no longer operating.
This is not an indication of a malfunction.

To replace the battery, follow these instructions:
Open the battery door completely by pushing the raised edge on the bottom of the •
instrument. To assist with the handling of the batteries, the magnet at the end of the
MultiTool can be used to help you.
Remove the sticky label from the + side of the new battery.•
The new battery may be inserted by using the magnetic end of the MultiTool. Ensure •
that the positive (+) marking faces the positive (+) sign printed on the battery door.
Close the battery door.
If any moisture is on the battery surface, it should be
wiped off before use. When you change the 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.

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, color markings
may be applied inside the battery door.
A blue dot marks the LEFT instrument.
A red dot marks the RIGHT instrument.
Putting on your instrument with earmold
Place the tip of the earmold in your ear canal, twisting
slightly, making sure that the top part of the earmold (A)
is pushed behind and under the fold (B) of your ear.
Gently pull up your ear and press the earmold in the
direction of the ear canal.
With the earmold 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
(thin tube)
Not available for BTE Power
Putting on your hearing instrument with a thin tube correctly every
time takes practice:
Place the hearing instrument behind your ear.1.
Hold the bend of the tube between your thumb and index finger. 2.
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.
Position the ear grip in the concha using your index finger. Look 3.
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.
