Replacing the battery

Use a battery (size 10, 312, 13) for all
Certéna custom products.

Hold the hearing system with the battery
compartment upwards and open it.

Do not try to open the compartment further
than shown in the drawing.

Preparation

9

Remove the old battery.

Remove the protective foil from the new battery.

Insert the new battery. Please ensure that the “+” sign
on the battery (flat side) is on the same side as the “+”
sign on the battery compartment.

10

Gently shut the battery compartment, until you
feel it “click” into place.

Handle the battery compartment gently and
do not use excessive force.

Preparation

11

If there is any resistance when closing the
compartment, ensure that the battery is correctly
inserted. The compartment will not close if the
battery is inserted upside down.
When your hearing system is not in use, leave the
battery compartments open to allow any moisture
to evaporate.

Low battery warning

An acoustic signal gives you an early warning that
the battery is approaching exhaustion. You have
approximately 30 minutes to replace the battery after
hearing the signal. This reserve may be higher
and the hearing system will repeat the low battery
warning approximately every 30 minutes.

Please note that the battery consumption increases
with regular use of the myPilot command center,
the iCom communication interface or remote controls
such as KeyPilot2 or WatchPilot2.

12

Identifying left and right hearing instruments

Before insertion, please ensure that you are using
the proper left and right hearing systems.
Your hearing systems are identified as follows:

blue = left
red = right

Preparation

13

Inserting your hearing system in your ear

Grasp the hearing system between the thumb and
index finger, using the hand on the same side you wear
your hearing system. Insert the canal end into the ear
canal. Tug gently on your ear lobe and push the hearing
system into the correct position.

14

Removing your hearing system from your ear

If possible, select the mute mode (see page 18 and 21)
before removing your hearing system to avoid whistling.

쐍 Certéna CIC/MC Petite models with a

removal handle

Grasp the handle between your thumb and
index finger and gently pull the hearing system
upwards out of your ear.

Preparation

15

쐍 Certéna or Certéna Petite models

without a removal handle

Put your thumb behind your lobe (just below the
hard cartilage) and gently press your ear upward
to push the hearing system out of the canal. In
order to help it along, make chewing movements
with your jaw.

Grasp the protruding
hearing system
and remove it.
