Replacing the battery

Use battery size 13 for your Nios micro system.

Using the nail grip, open the battery compartment completely and remove the old battery.

Remove the protective foil from the new battery. Wait for two minutes before inserting it.

Preparation

Insert the new battery with the “+” sign (flat side of the battery) as shown below. The correct battery orientation can also be seen on the inside of the battery compartment. Close the battery compartment.

Handle the battery compartment with care and do not use excessive force. If there is any resistance when closing the compartment, ensure that the battery is inserted correctly. The compartment may not close properly if the battery is upside down, and the instrument will not work. When your hearing system is not in use, leave the battery compartment 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. 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 the remote controls KeyPilot2 or WatchPilot2.

Preparation

Tamper proof battery compartment

The battery is locked inside the battery compartment for safety reasons. The latch can easily be opened with a fingernail. Place the fingernail in the groove and pull the latch away from the hearing instrument 햲 and then push it upwards 햳.

“click”

The battery can only be inserted when the latch is open 햴. Move the latch over the inserted battery so that it lies against it 햵. Lock the battery by pushing the later towards the hearing instrument with your finger 햶. Before you close the battery compartment, check that the latch is locked in position and the battery can’t be removed.

Warning: The battery latch must be placed back over the battery and locked before closing the battery compartment.

Identifying left and right hearing instruments

It is important to use the correct hearing instrument for each ear.

Your hearing care professional can mark the hearing instruments for you. The color code is visible when the battery compartment is opened. It will identify left and right hearing instruments as follows:

red = right hearing instrument blue = left hearing instrument

Inserting your hearing instrument with earmold into your ear

Using the hand on the same side you wear your hearing instrument, grasp the earmold between the thumb and index finger.

Raise your hand to your ear making sure the canal portion of the earmold faces your ear. Tilt your hand slightly forward.

Preparation

Place the canal portion of the earmold inside your ear canal. If it is difficult to get it into place, stretch your ear by pulling it gently backwards and upwards with your other hand. When the canal portion is in place, twist the earmold backwards so that it fits into the concha and the helix portion is under the fold.

Now position the hearing instrument behind the ear. Be careful not to twist the tubing.

Preparation

Check the placement of the earmold by tracing the contour of the ear with your finger.

To remove your hearing instruments grasp the earmold, not the tubing, and pull it out of your ear gently but firmly.

Preparation

Inserting your hearing system with micro tube into your ear

Open domes and SlimTip

Place the hearing instrument over the top of your ear 햲.

Hold the micro tube where it attaches to the dome or SlimTip 햳 and gently push the dome or SlimTip into your ear canal. The dome or SlimTip should be placed far enough into the ear so that the micro tube lies flush with your head.

햳

햲

Place the retention tail (if available) of the micro tube into the bowl of your concha 햴.

To remove your hearing instrument, grasp the micro tube near the dome and pull it out of your ear gently but firmly.

In very rare cases, the dome can remain in the ear canal when removing the micro tube from the ear. In the unlikely case that any parts remain in the ear canal, it is strongly recommended to see a medical specialist for safe removal.
