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 proper, environmentally conscious disposal.
Safety notes for batteries
The batteries last from a few days up to several weeks according to the way they are used. You can recognise when a change of batteries becomes necessary, because your hearing instruments become noticeably quieter towards the end of the battery’s life. Then it is time for new batteries. Two warning tones sound once per minute indicating that you must insert a new battery.
1 min.
Your hearing instrument specialist can switch off the warning tones if required.

Your hearing instrument specialist can program the possible adjustment range for you. If you do not want to use the volume control, then your hearing instrument specialist can also switch it off.
MUSIC Pro hearing instru­ments are fully automatic. It is therefore not necessary for you to change the loud­ness manually. However, if you still wish to do so, MUSIC Pro offers you a volume control.

How to select the programs
MUSIC Pro has 4 hearing programs. Program 1 to 3 is selected with the program button. Program 4 is activated by the audio shoe. Each time when the instrument diverts between the programs, the respective program is confirmed by beep tones. The number of beep tones is identical with the selected program. That means when program “3“ is selected, three beep tones are heard.
Program overview
See below to check how your hearing instrument specialist has programmed your MUSIC Pro instrument.

Telecoil
The telecoil is intended for telephone conversations and for using induction loops, e.g. in churches, theaters or lecture rooms. In order to be able to use the telephone coil, your telephone also must be suitable for hearing instruments and emit an adequate magnetic field. It is mostly older telephones which meet these requirements.
Unfortunately, modern phones, particularly cordless telephones and mobile phones, do NOT all emit a magnetic field. In these cases we recommend that you use the normal hearing programs for telephone conversations (see also pages 53/54).

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 accessories to be connected. In this way you can understand better in certain hearing situations. The contacts for the audio input are located under the type plate. Before using the audio input for the first time the covering type plate must be exchanged against the supplied type plate providing openings for the audio contacts. Your hearing instrument specialist will do this for you. The coloured type plates can be used to identify your left (blue) and right (red) hearing instrument.
Your hearing instrument recognises immediately when an audio shoe is fitted and diverts then automatically to pro­gram ”4”. You can notice this by the four beep tones
.
Fitting the audio shoe to the hearing instrument
Hook the audio shoe in from the front and press it to the rear into the detent on the inner curve of the instrument.

To unlock the battery compartment again, open the battery compartment up to the first stop. Push the slide in the battery compartment to the left with a suitable tool.
