Safety notes for batteries
WARNING
Keep batteries away from children!
Batteries must not be swallowed.
Remove the batteries when the instrument is not in
use over a prolonged period. Replace leaking batteries
without delay.
Do
not throw away your dead batteries!
Return them to your hearing instrument specialist for

The hearing instrument is ready
for use without any further
adjustment. Even if the sound
level changes, your instrument
is always adjusted correctly
according to your personal needs.
Thus soft sounds aren’t lost and
loud sounds aren’t amplified or
are amplified only insignificantly.

Children’s safety device
Your instrument is equipped
with a “children’s safety
device“. This is intended to
prevent the unintentional
removal of batteries from their
compartment, such as by small
children. This safety device is on
the inner side of the hearing
instrument. Please use a tool
suited to the purpose to open
or close the safety device.
Pushing the slide towards the
battery compartment locks the
battery compartment; pushing
the slide towards the ear hook
unlocks the battery compartment so that it can be opened.

Safety note for instruments with audio input
The audio input can only be connected to power supplied
devices if they fulfil at least the safety provisions of
IEC 65 / DIN VDE 0860.
Your hearing instrument has an audio input. This enables the
connection between hearing instrument and accessories.
In this way you can understand better in certain hearing
situations. Take care that before you use the audio input you
pull off the protective foil.
The audio shoe connects the audio cable with your instrument.
Plug the audio shoe on to the hearing instrument (Fig. 1 and
Fig 2).
Remove the audio shoe from the hearing instrument
(Fig. 3).
