Welcome4

You have chosen one of our hearing instruments, a
reliable partner to accompany you through everday life.
Like everything new, it will take you a little while to
become familiar with it.

This document, along with support from your Hearing
Care Professional, will help you. You will quickly come to
appreciate the advantages and greater quality of life your
hearing instrument offers.

CAUTION

Read this user guide thoroughly and completely
and follow the safety information in this document
to avoid damage or injury.

To benefit most from your hearing instrument, wear it
daily and all day long. Especially after longer periods of
living with hearing loss, a dedicated hearing training is
recommended - with a Hearing Care Professional or at
home.

Getting to know your hearing instruments

It is recommended to familiarize yourself with your new
hearing instruments. With the instruments in your hand
try using the controls and note their location on the
instrument. This will make it easier for you to feel and
press the controls while wearing the hearing instruments.

If you have problems pressing the controls of your
hearing instruments while wearing them, you can
ask your Hearing Care Professional about a remote
control option.

Batteries12

When the battery is low the sound becomes weaker or
you will hear an alert signal. It depends on the battery
type how long you have until you have to replace the
battery.

Your Hearing Care Professional can configure the LED
to indicate the battery status. However, the hearing
instrument must be turned on to indicate the status:

■ When the battery is full, the LED shines constantly.

■ When the battery is low, the LED flashes repeatedly,

approximately every 5 seconds until the battery is
empty.

■ When the battery is empty, the LED goes out.

When the battery compartment is locked, you
need a tool to open it. Read more in section
"Child lock".

Batteries 13

Replacing non-rechargeable batteries

Remove empty batteries immediately and dispose of
according to local regulations.

Remember to have your replacement batteries
with you at all times.

Removing:

X Open the battery compartment.

X Pull the battery out.

Batteries14

Inserting:

X Remove the protective film from

the new battery.

X Slide the battery into the compartment.

Make sure the "+" symbols on
the battery and compartment
are aligned (refer to the picture).

A magnet in the battery compartment
ensures that the battery snaps noticeably
into place.

X Carefully close the battery compartment. If you feel

resistance, the battery is not inserted correctly.

Do not attempt to close the battery compartment by
force. It can be damaged.

Batteries 15

Child lock (optional)

Your hearing instruments can be modified to provide a
child-safe battery compartment, which can be locked
(child lock). The child lock has to be activated by the
Hearing Care Professional.

With the child lock enabled, the battery compartment will
automatically lock when closed. This prevents e.g. a child
from removing and swallowing the battery.

To open the locked battery compartment, you need a
tool. The tool is included with delivery of any child-lock
battery compartment set.

Opening a locked battery compartment:

X Use the tool to push

the white locking bar
to the opposite side.

X Hold it in place and

at the same time
open the battery
compartment.

Batteries16

Locking / Unlocking the battery compartment

To lock or unlock the battery compartment,
a special tool is required. Your Hearing Care
Professional will lock or unlock the battery
compartment for you.

The following instructions are for your Hearing
Care Professional only.

The position of the locking bar in the battery
compartment indicates whether the battery compartment
is locked.

The upper image shows an unlocked battery
compartment. To lock it, the Hearing Care
Professional has to remove the highlighted
part.
The lower image shows a locked battery
compartment. To unlock it, the Hearing
Care Professional has to install a child lock
disabler.
