Charging the battery and general battery info

iView has an internal, rechargeable battery.
To charge it, connect the charging cable
to iView as shown in the picture below. Plug
the other end of the charging cable into a
power outlet.

Do not use iView while charging.

For safety reasons, recharge the battery only
with chargers supplied by Phonak.

Getting started

During the charging process, the battery symbol on
the screen will flash. Once the battery is fully charged,
the battery symbol will stop flashing.

Charging an empty battery typically takes about
90 minutes. It is safe to leave the charger connected
overnight – the battery cannot be overcharged.

When charging iView for the first time, leave
it to charge for five hours, even if the battery
symbol stops flashing.

A new battery’s full performance is achieved
only after two or three complete charge and
discharge cycles.

The iView battery can be charged hundreds of
times. If the operating time of your iView reduces
substantially, please contact your hearing care
professional.

recharging.

Turning iView ON/OFF

ON/OFF button for about a second until you see
the display turn ON/OFF.
