Warnings
You should familiarize yourself fully with the following general warnings and the entire
contents of this booklet before using your hearing instrument.
Usage of hearing instruments
• Hearing instruments should be used only as directed and adjusted by your Hearing
Care Professional. Misuse can result in sudden and permanent hearing loss.
• Never allow others to wear your hearing instrument as incorrect/wrongful usage could
cause permanent damage to their hearing.
Choking hazards
• Hearing instruments, their parts, and batteries are not toys and should be kept out
of reach of children and anyone who might swallow these items or otherwise cause
injury to themselves.
• Never change the battery or adjust the controls of the hearing instruments in front
of infants, small children or people with learning difficulties.
• Discard batteries carefully in a place where infants, small children or people with
learning difficulties cannot reach them.
• Batteries have occasionally been mistaken for pills. Therefore check your medicine
carefully before swallowing any pills.
• Never put your hearing instrument or batteries in your mouth for any reason, as they
are slippery and could be swallowed by accident.
Battery use
• Always use batteries recommended by your Hearing Care Professional. Batteries of low
quality may leak and cause bodily harm.
• Never attempt to recharge your batteries. They may explode and cause serious injury.
• Never dispose of batteries by burning them. There is a risk that they will explode and
cause serious injury.
Dysfunction in hearing instruments
• Hearing instruments may stop functioning, for instance if the batteries have expired or
if the speaker is blocked by moisture or earwax. You should be aware of this possibility,
in particular when you are in traffic or otherwise dependent on warning sounds.
Active implants
• Oticon shows caution and advise to follow the guideline as recommended by manufacturers of implantable defibrillators and pacemakers regarding use of mobile phones.
• If you wear an active implant, then keep the hearing instruments more than 15 cm
away from the implant e.g. do not carry them in a breast pocket. If you have an active
brain implant, please contact the manufacturer of your implantable device for information about the risk of disturbance.
• The MultiTool has a built-in magnet. If you have an implantable device, such as
pacemakers or defibrillators, the MultiTool should not be carried in a breast pocket or
near the chest.
Explosives
• The power source in your hearing instrument has insufficient energy to cause fire in
normal conditions of use. The hearing instrument has not been tested for compliance
with international standards concerning explosive atmospheres. It is recommended not
to use your hearing instruments in areas where there is a danger of explosions.
X-ray, CT, MR, PET scanning and electrotherapy
• Remove your hearing instrument for example during X-ray, CT / MR / PET scanning
electrotherapy or surgery as your hearing instruments may be damaged when exposed
to strong fields.
Possible side effects
• Hearing instruments or ear moulds may cause an accelerated accumulation of ear wax.
• The otherwise non-allergenic materials used in hearing instruments may in rare cases
cause a skin irritation or any other unusual condition. Please, seek consultation with a
physician if these conditions occur.
Interference
• Your hearing instrument has been thoroughly tested for interference, according to
the most stringent international standards. However, interference with your hearing
instrument and other devices may occur, for example for some mobile telephones,
citizens band devices and shop alarm systems. If this occurs increase the distance
between the hearing instrument and the device.

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.
You will hear 2 beeps when it is time to change the battery.
This pre-warning will be repeated in moderate intervals until
the battery runs out. The battery may run out shortly after a
pre-warning or within the next couple of hours depending
on battery capabilities and individual hearing losses.
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.
Replace the battery.
Activating the hearing instrument for the first time
A hearing instrument is a miniature electronic device that runs on special batteries.
To activate the hearing instrument, you must insert a fresh battery in the battery
compartment.
The hearing instrument will start up when the battery door is closed. It will take a few
seconds until sound is produced. A jingle is played while the start up process is running.
Put on the hearing instruments upon closing the battery door.
If the hearing instrument is held in the hand while activated, it may produce a whistling
sound. This will stop when properly fitted on the ear.

Turning your instruments 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. Make sure that the
battery door is fully opened to turn off the instrument completely.
To preserve the battery, make sure your hearing instrument is switched off when you are
not wearing it.

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.

wiped off before use. When you change the battery,
it will take a few seconds before the battery works.
To assist the handling of the batteries, the magnet
placed at the end of the tool can be used.
