General notes on safety
NOTE
Your hearing instrument is sensitive to extreme heat, high humidity, strong magnetic fields (> 0.1T), X-rays and mechanical stress.
Do not expose your hearing instrument to extreme temperature or high humidity. Do not leave it in direct sunlight. Do not wear it in the shower or when you apply make-up, perfume or aftershave, hairspray or suntan lotion. Do not wear your hearing instrument when you are exposed to short-waves, a strong magnetic field, a high frequency field or X-rays.
NOTE for batteries
Turn your hearing instrument off when not in use to preserve the battery. Leaking batteries damage the instrument. Remove batteries when the instrument is not in use for a prolonged period of time.
WARNING
Risk in explosive environments, e.g. mining areas!
Don't use your hearing instruments (and remote control) in ares where there is a danger of explosions.

Inserting the battery:
Completely open the battery compart­ment with your fingernail as shown in the illustration.
Insert the proper size battery so that the "+" symbol on the battery aligns with the "+" marked on the battery compartment.
Close the battery compartment by gently pressing the bottom of the door upward with your finger tip.
Do not force the door shut. If it does not close easily, check to see if the battery was inserted properly.
When the battery door is completely closed, your hearing instrument is ready for use.

Handling batteries
Removing the battery:
Completely open the battery com­partment.
Normally the battery drops out when the compartment is com­pletely open. If the battery does not come out, lightly tap the instrument or push the battery out with a pencil as shown.
WARNING
Keep batteries and instruments out of the reach of children. If swallowed consult a physician or a hos­pital immediately.

NOTE
Do not throw used batteries into household trash. Return them to your Hearing Care Professional for environmentally correct disposal.

Applying and removing your hearing instrument
Applying your hearing instrument:
Turn your hearing instrument off by opening the battery compartment to the first stop (page 8).
Hold the earmold etween your thumb and index finger and insert it carefully into the ear canal. You may find it helpful to pull your ear slightly upward or to the back.
Place your hearing instrument behind your ear.
Turn it on by completely closing the battery compartment.
NOTE
Do not use lubricant when you insert the earmold, because it may clog the sound outlet.
10
Removing your hearing instrument:
Hold the earmold between your thumb and index finger and carefully pull it out. You may find it helpful to lightly push your ear from the back.
Turning your hearing instrument on and off
Turn on:
Fully close the battery compartment to turn the instrument ON.
Turn off:
Press the battery compartment down­ward to the first stop to turn the instru­ment OFF.
Power-on delay
Your hearing instrument is equipped with a "power-on delay" feature which can be activated by your Hearing Care Professional. This allows you to turn the hearing instrument on with an automatic delay of 12 seconds, so that you may insert the hearing instrument into your ear without experiencing unpleasant feedback (whistling).

Changing the hearing program
How to select the programs
Your CIELO 2 hearing instruments offer up to four hearing programs for specific listening environments.
Select a program using the program button.
Each time you press the program button, your hearing instrument switches to the next program, confirming each change with a beep. The number of beeps you hear co incides with the selected program.
Example
You turn your hearing instrument on. It is automatically in program 1. You want to change to program 2.
Press the program button once. You hear 2 beeps. You are now in program 2.
Your Hearing Care Professional can write down the perso­nal program configuration of your hearing instrument on page 23.
12
NOTE
You can also use the ePocket remote control to change the hearing program.
Volume control
The volume of your CIELO 2 is controlled automatically and there is no need to manually adjust it.
Should you prefer manual volume control, your Hearing Care Professional can program the hearing instrument for manual adjustment.
Rotate the volume control with your index finger to select the desired listening volume.
Your hearing instrument will not exceed your maximum volume. Signal tones can be programmed to indicate when the volume control limit is reached. Adjusting the volume further in that direction will then have no effect.

ePocket (accessory)
wireless remote control
Your CIELO 2 hearing instrument allows you to use an ePocket to change the program and volume of your hearing instrument and to read out the instrument settings. For further informa tion about ePocket, contact your Hearing Care Professional or refer to the ePocket user guide.
NOTE
In the event your hearing instrument can be controlled by another person's remote control unit (RCU), return your RCU and hearing instrument to the service department to change the transmission key.
When operating the hearing instrument in T-coil mode, the wireless function may cause a pulsing noise. This is due to pick-up of the transmission signal by the hearing instrument T-coil. When your hearing instrument is in T-coil mode please use remote control with a distance greater than 10 cm (4 inches).
The performance of ePocket may be affected by electromagnetic interference – e.g. from a compu­ter monitor or halogen lamp system controlled by a switching power supply.
Move away from the source of interference if you experience difficulty.
14
Audio input
Your hearing instrument is equipped with an audio input. Together with an audio shoe it enables the connection between the hearing instrument and e.g. an FM system, tape recorder, television or an infrared device. This way the sound is coming directly from the sound source. That can be useful for adults in difficult listening situations and for children in classrooms.
NOTE
Use only the audio shoes listet in the table below (labelled inside of the audio shoe). These are de­signed exclusively for the corresponding CIELO 2 hearing instruments.

Automatic telephone program
With the AutoPhoneTM function, your hearing instrument will automatically switch to the telephone program when you hold a telephone handset near your hearing instru­ment (*). It will return to the previously used hearing program after you have finished speaking and have moved the handset away from the hearing instrument.
You can also select the telephone program manually by using the program button.
The telephone program can be set to microphone mode or telecoil mode. Your Hearing Care Professional will program your hearing instrument to fit your individual require­ments.
(*) AutoPhone magnet accessory
Not all telephones produce a magnetic field strong enough to activate the AutoPhone function. In this case, use the AutoPhone magnet, enclosed in your hearing instrument package, and attach it to the telephone receiver to activate the AutoPhone function.
Consult your Hearing Care Professional to find out if this accessory is right for your hearing care needs.

NOTE
Magnets can pose risks to electronics and magnetic storage mediums when placed in close proximity. Take care not to set magnets near computers, color monitors, television sets, floppy discs, video/audio tapes and other electronic equipment.
Keep magnets out of the reach of children. If swallowed consult a physician or a hospital.
Magnets may interfere with the operation of life supporting systems (e.g. pacemakers, magnetic valves). Use a magnet only if not in doubt about the safe distance.
The safe distance between pacemaker and magnet should be at least 10 cm (4 inches).
See the AutoPhone magnet user guide for instructions on how to position the magnet.
Use only the magnet that is delivered with the hearing instrument.

Maintenance and care
Your hearing instrument is a highly sensitive system. Proper care and handling will ensure the best possible performance.

Clean your hearing instrument with a soft, dry tissue, as necessary.
Place your hearing instrument in a "dry aid kit" with a special moisture-attracting capsule overnight.
Ask your Hearing Care Professional for special care sets and further information how to keep your hearing instrument in good condition.
