Remove the old battery.
Remove the protective foil from the new battery.
Insert the new battery. Please ensure that the “+” sign
on the battery (flat side) is on the same side as the “+”
sign on the battery compartment.
Replacing the battery
The advanced performance features of your
Exélia instruments require specially designed high
performance batteries (called GenX batteries).
Therefore please only use these GenX batteries (size
312 or 13). The use of other batteries may lead
to reduced battery life and the optimum performance
of your Exélia hearing systems can not be guaranteed.
For Exélia Petite instruments, please use standard
batteries.
Hold the hearing system with the battery
compartment upwards and open it.

Gently shut the battery compartment, until you
feel it “click” into place.
Please only use GenX batteries for your Exélia
instruments (except Exélia Petite).
Handle the battery compartment gently and
do not use excessive force.
Do not try to open the compartment further
than shown in the drawing.
If there is any resistance when closing the
compartment, ensure that the battery is correctly
inserted. The compartment will not close if the
battery is inserted upside down.
When your hearing system is not in use, leave the
battery compartments open to allow any moisture
to evaporate.
Low battery warning
An acoustic signal gives you an early warning that
the battery is approaching exhaustion. You have
approximately 30 minutes to replace the battery after
hearing the signal. This reserve may be higher
and the hearing system will repeat the low battery
warning approximately every 30 minutes.
Please note that the battery consumption
increases with regular use of the myPilot command
center or the iCom communication interface.

Identifying left and right hearing instruments
Before insertion, please ensure that you are using
the proper left and right hearing systems.
Your hearing systems are identified as follows:
blue = left
red = right
Inserting your hearing system in your ear
Grasp the hearing system between the thumb and
index finger, using the hand on the same side you wear
your hearing system. Insert the canal end into the ear
canal. Tug gently on your ear lobe and push the hearing
system into the correct position.
