Putting on the hearing instrument
Turn the instrument on. Place the speaker, with the ear piece attached, into your ear first and then place the amplifier behind your ear. If the instrument comes with a Micro Mould, make sure that the coloured dot (blue or red) on the mould is facing towards the amplifier unit (upwards) to ensure a correct position in the ear canal.
Make sure that the ear piece is placed so that the tube follows the contour of the skin. If the instrument has an ear grip, place it in the concha as indicated in drawing 4. Alternatively place the amplifier behind your ear. Put the speaker into your ear canal.

AutoPhone
Your hearing instrument may have a built-in Auto­Phone functionality. When the hearing instrument is close to a telephone receiver, the AutoPhone will activate a Phone Program. When the Phone Program is activated you will hear a number of beeps.
When you end your telephone conversation, the hearing instrument will automatically return to the previous program.
Not all telephones can activate the AutoPhone. The telephone receiver must have a special magnet fitted. Please follow the separate instructions for mounting the magnet, which is available from your Hearing Care Professional.

If you use an AutoPhone magnet:
• Keep magnets out of reach of children and pets. If a magnet is swallowed, see a doctor immediately.
• Do not wear the magnet in a breast pocket and always keep it  cm away from active implantable devices. Preferably, use the telephone with magnet on the opposite side than a pacemaker or other active implantable devices.
• Keep the magnet  cm away from credit cards and other magnetically sensitive devices.

Caring for your hearing instrument
Your ear canal produces ear wax (cerumen) which may clog up the earpiece. Therefore your hearing instrument contains a filter to prevent wax accumula­tion. Consult your Hearing Care Professional for instructions about the specific wax protection system in your hearing instrument and how it can be replaced.
Cleaning the instrument
A range of dedicated cleaning tools is prepared for the special purpose of cleaning the instrument. These should be used to ensure the best care and perform­ance of your hearing instruments.
When handling a hearing instrument, keep it over a soft surface to avoid damage if you drop it.
Before retiring at night:
Make sure that there is no ear wax in any of the • earpiece openings since it may reduce the hearing instrument’s efficiency.
Open the battery door completely to allow air to • circulate.

Use the cloth to wipe clean the surface of the instruments.
Replace the brush when necessary. Just pull it out of the tool and insert a new fresh brush. Press the new one firmly into the handle.
