Congratulations !
As the owner of a new hearing system, you may once again
enjoy the sounds of your environment, and conversation
with your family and friends.
These instructions as well as guidance from your hearing
instrument specialist will help you understand how your new
hearing system works. In this guide, you’ll find instructions
about insertion, removal and use of your ARTIS
TM
hearing
system. There are also tips and information on proper handling, cleaning, care and changing of the batteries. In addition, a troubleshooting section is offered for your reference.
Your hearing improvement with a hearing system depends
on the fit of the hearing instruments, the type and degree
of hearing loss, and proper diagnostic testing. Of course, a
hearing system cannot restore normal hearing, and not
everyone will benefit equally.
More than 80 percent of individuals with a hearing loss have
a hearing loss in both ears. Studies show that even when a
hearing loss is worse in one ear, most people with a hearing
loss in both ears will benefit from wearing two instruments.
Remember, a hearing system consists of finely-tuned devices
that have been specially designed and expertly adjusted for
your individual needs. Proper care and handling will ensure
the best possible performance of your ARTIS hearing system.

Battery insertion and removal
Handling the battery
The protective tab on your
battery should only be removed
when you are ready to use the
battery.
Inserting the battery
Open the battery compartment
with your fingernail as shown in
the illustration.
Swivel open the battery compartment door, if not already open.
Place the proper size battery
(Type 312) so that the "+” symbol
on the battery matches the "+”
marked on the battery compartment.
Three useful tips:
• The positive (+) side of the battery is always the
smooth side. You can recognize the negative (-) side
by the colored ring.
• Always keep spare batteries with you
• If you feel you cannot change the battery by yourself,
ask someone to help you: a family member, friend or
your hearing instrument specialist.
