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 ab-
sorb 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.
3/3 P
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“.

|
By pressing the program button |
button |
|
|

The battery should be removed if the hearing instrument is not in use over a longer period.
3/3 P
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 programmed 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”).
