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 the insertion, removal and use of your INTUIS
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 INTUIS
TM
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 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 think you cannot change the battery by yourself,
ask someone to help you: a family member, friend or
your hearing instrument specialist.

Gently close the battery compartment by 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.
Removing the battery
Normally the battery drops out
when the compartment is completely open. If the battery does not
come out, lightly tap the system or
push the battery out with a pencil
as shown.
Low battery indicator
Your hearing system may be programmed to inform you
when the battery should be replaced for best system performance. You may hear an intermittent series of beeps and/or
experience low amplification power or volume. Change the
battery when either of these occurs.

Caution:
Keep batteries and instruments away from the reach of
children.
Batteries can be harmful if swallowed.
If swallowed consult a physician or a hospital
immediately.
Change the batteries when any of the following occur:
- volume becomes softer or weak
- you hear a battery signal beep
Do NOT throw used batteries into household trash.
Return them to your hearing instrument specialist
for environmentally correct disposal.
