The best way to use your
new hearing instrument
In this brief guide you will find instructions for inserting,
placing and adjusting your hearing instruments. There are
also tips and information on correct handling, cleaning, care
and battery changing. And naturally information about how
you can solve some failures yourself if you cannot visit a
hearing instrument specialist immediately.
One important note:
Your hearing success depends largely on how well your
instruments fit in the ears and how carefully you maintain
and handle them.

Handling batteries
So-called zinc-air batteries are
used today almost exclusively
in hearing instruments to minimize environmental damage.
These batteries require oxygen
for operation, which they absorb from the air. The battery
is activated as soon as the
protective foil is pulled off and is used up even if you do not
use your hearing instrument.
You should always pull off the protective foil only if you
actually use the battery. Also, do not leave the batteries in
your hearing instruments if you do not use them over a
longer period. The batteries can leak and damage the
instruments. The batteries keep for from a few days up to
several weeks according to the way they are used. You can
recognize when a change of batteries becomes necessary,
because your hearing instru-ments 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.
Your hearing instrument specialist can switch off the warning
tones if required.
Zinc-air batteries which are almost completely used up show
the following behaviour: After switching on the instruments
they function completely normally, but then rapidly become
quieter. The more the battery is used up, the faster the gain
falls off. You must then replace such batteries by new ones.

Battery changing
Removing the battery
Open the battery compartment
as shown in the picture.
It has to opened completely.
In order to do this you have
open the compartment
beyond the first stop (“OFF“–
see: Switching ON/OFF).
Normally the battery drops out
when the battery compartment
is completely open.
Should this not be the case, you
can lightly tap the instrument or
push the battery out with a
pencil as shown in the picture.
Inserting the battery
Important! Make sure to note
the polarity of the battery!
If the battery is inserted incorrectly, the battery compartment
can be closed only with considerable force. This will damage
the instrument.

Closing the battery
compartment
Close the battery compartment
by pressing from below with
your finger tip.

Useful tips:
The plus (+) side of the battery is always the
smooth side. You can recognize the minus (–) side
by the coloured ring.
You should always keep spare batteries
at hand.
If you feel you cannot change the battery yourself,
ask someone to help you: a family member, friend
or your hearing instrument specialist.
Please do not throw used batteries into household
refuse. Return them to your hearing instrument
specialist for environmentally correct disposal.
Caution!
Please keep batteries out of the reach of children. They
are damaging to health when swallowed.

Battery compartment
There are two ways to switch
the TRIANO 3/3P ON/OFF.
The first way is by using the
battery compartment. When it
is completely closed, the
TRIANO 3/3P is “ON“ (see fig.1).
Opening the battery compartment to the first stop (see fig. 2)
means the instrument is turned
“OFF“.
The second way to switch the
instrument is by using the
program button. See chapter
“Program button“.
Program button
The hearing instrument is automatically switched on when the
battery is inserted and the battery
compartment closed. The instrument then diverts to program“1“.
By pressing the program button
approx. 3 seconds the hearing
instrument is switched off.
If the hearing instrument has already been operated and
then switched off as described above, to switch it on again
simply press the program button approx. 3 seconds. The
instrument diverts again to program“1“.
The battery should be removed if the hearing instrument is
not in use over a longer period.
Program
button
How to select the programs
The TRIANO 3/3P instruments have 4 hearing programs
which are selected with a program button. Each time the
button is pressed the instrument diverts to the next program
which is confirmed with a beep tone. The number of beep
tones is identical with the selected program. That means
when program “3“ is selected 3 beep tones are heard.
The standard seizure of the programs is as follows:
Program “1“ – for the most frequently hearing
situations
Program “2“ – is the automatic microphone mode
Program “3“ – is telecoil mode
Program “4“ – normally not activated but can be pro-
grammed if requested

Volume control
(TRIANO 3 P only)
TRIANO 3 P Instruments work fully automatically. Normally
it is not necessary to change the volume manually. But if the
instruments wearer still desires to change the volume,
TRIANO 3 P offers a volume control with a programmable
volume range. If this is not wished the volume control can
be switched off. Operating the volume control then does
not affect the adjustment on the instrument.
Telephoning in combination
with your hearing instrument
The telecoil mode (Standard setting program “3“ is intended
for telephoning and using inductive loops. e.g. in churches,
theatres or lecture rooms. Using program “3“ for telephoning
requires that the telephone is suitable for hearing instruments
and emits a corresponding magnetic field. Not all modern
telephones, especially cordless telephones and mobile
phones, produce a magnetic field. In such cases we
recommend that you telephone preferably with the setting
used for the most frequently hearing situations (for e.g.
program “1”).
