Battery Placement
1. Peel off the sticker of the battery (PR41
or 312 zinc-air battery) before loading.
2. Open the battery holder.
3. Insert a PR41 or 312 battery sideways
into the battery holder. You do not
have to worry about the polarity.
4. Close the battery holder.
Battery life (PR41 or 312, for continuous use)
Approx. 150 hours
- Battery life will change depending on the operating condition.
When remove the battery, grasp it
and pull it towards you. Be sure to
remove the battery when the hearing
aid is not to be used for long time.
Inserting Hearing Aid in Your Ear
This hearing aid does not have a power switch. The battery
holder also functions as power switch.
Power/OFF: Open the battery holder.
Power/ON: Close the battery holder firmly.
1. Open the battery holder slightly, so
that the hearing aid is set to the OFF
condition.
2. Hold the hearing aid so that the pull-out wire is at the rear,
lightly pull the auricle back and insert the hearing aid straight
into the ear.
Depending on the shape of the user's ear, there may be no
vent, or the vent may be in a different position.
* The communication connector serves for adjustment of the
hearing aid by the hearing aid professional.

HOW TO USE YOUR FIRST HEARING AID
Any hearing aid cannot return level of your hearing to normal or
halt further hearing deterioration, but proper use of your hearing
aid can help you hear what is going on around you and let you
get more enjoyment of life.
If this is your first hearing aid, you - like most new users - will
probably be surprised at the loudness of the sounds, and after
using it for a short while, you may even feel that it is too noisy. The
following three tips are important in overcoming your concerns.
1) Read this manual and become familiar with the hearing aid's
various mechanisms and how to use them correctly.
2) First, use your hearing aid in a quiet place and listen to quiet
sounds and give yourself sufficient time to get accustomed to
the sound of your hearing aid.
3) If any physical problems develop, consult your doctor.
FOR KEEPING YOUR HEARING AID LONGER
Always keep the hearing aid clean.
Clean the hearing aid with dry cloth periodically and also remove
earwax plugged in the sound outlet using eyebrush or tooth
-
brush.
Do not expose the hearing aid to the heat from stoves, etc. Also,
avoid leaving it in places with high humidity.
If the hearing aid is dropped in water, wipe with dry cloth and ask
the dispenser for check.
Do not pick the microphone with nail, pin, etc., because this may
damage the microphone.
Do not disassemble or attempt any repairs by yourself. Ask the
dispenser for repair.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Parts and Controls
If the hearing aid is hard to insert
in a straight motion, slowly rotate
it in the direction indicated by the
arrow in the illustration, and lightly
push it in.
Note: If the hearing aid is inserted with the battery holder
closed (ON), acoustic feedback may occur.
3. When the hearing aid is properly seated in your ear, close the
battery holder to turn it on.
Rotate in arrow
direction and
lightly push in

Turn the volume control while lightly pushing it with the ball
of your finger.
Removing Hearing Aid
Open the battery holder (power off), then carefully pull the wire
to remove the hearing aid (if not, whistling may result). Pull the
wire first sideways and then up.
4. Adjust the volume control to a suitable level. Turn the control
forward to increase the volume, or backward to decrease the
volume.
Turn-on precaution
If the hearing aid is turned on again immediately after turning it off,
there may be no sound, but this is not a defect. In such a case,
turn the power off (open battery holder) and wait 10 seconds.
Then turn the power on again (close battery holder).
Adjusting the Controls
This hearing aid is a digital type. Any adjustments must be done
at the dealer. For details, please contact the dealer.
Cleaning Your Hearing Aid
We recommend that you clean your
hearing aid twice a week (more or less
needed) to remove any earwax that
may build up as a result of regular use.
Too much earwax build up can prevent
your hearing aid from working.
Hold the hearing aid as the illustration,
brush off the earwax of the sound
outlet.
