Features of your Latitude™ Hearing
Instrument

the following features:

and 3 additional manual program. Latitude 4 has 4
manual programs.
• SmartFocus™or Speech Enhancement, with
personal adjustments for Clarity and Comfort
settings where available
• Wireless capability with duoLink

It may take some time for you to fully adjust to your
new hearing instruments. In the beginning, do not feel
as though you need to wear them for longer than is
comfortable. Depending on your previous experience
with hearing instruments you can increase wearing
time gradually until you have fully adjusted to them.
Eventually, you should wear your Latitude hearing
instruments all day every day.
Please consult your hearing healthcare professional
regarding any adjustments you may require to ensure
that you are happy with your hearing instrument. For
instance, pitch and loudness of the beeps can be
adjusted or turned off entirely. Also note that this is a
general guide and your hearing healthcare

Turning your Hearing Instruments On
and Off
Your hearing instruments have a three-position battery
door that acts as an off/on switch and that allows
access to the battery compartment.
ON:
To turn the hearing instruments on, close the battery door
fully. Note: It may take 5 seconds before the hearing
device turns on. Your hearing healthcare provider can
additionally increase the start up delay if required.
OFF:
To turn the hearing instrument off, partially open the
battery door. This position also allows excess moisture
to vent away from the battery compartment.
on off open
Note: When turning your hearing instrument on
and off while it is on the ear, grasp the top and
bottom of the instrument with your index finger
and thumb. Use the index finger of your opposite
hand to open and close the battery door.

Battery Information
To replace the hearing instrument battery, fully open
the battery door for access to the battery
compartment.
Low Battery Warning
When you hear two long beeps, your hearing
instruments are warning you that their batteries are
low. You will hear the warning approximately every 30
minutes until you change the batteries or the batteries
die. After the first warning, you may experience some
reduction in sound quality. This is normal and can be
remedied by inserting fresh batteries in the hearing
instruments.
Replacing the Battery
1. Gently swing out the battery
door with your fingernail, or
grasp the top and bottom of
the instrument with your
index finger and thumb. You
can use your index finger to
open and close the battery
door if this is easier.
2. Grasp the battery with your
thumb and index finger and
remove.

3. Insert the new battery into the battery
compartment matching it with the battery symbol
inside the battery door. This will ensure that the
battery door closes properly.
Note: If the battery is inserted incorrectly, the hearing
instrument will not turn on.
4. Close the battery door.
Caring for Batteries
• Always discard batteries in a safe and
environmentally friendly way.
• To prolong battery life, remember to turn your
hearing devices off when not in use.
• Remove the batteries and keep the battery door
open while hearing devices are not in use. This will
allow internal moisture to evaporate.

each time you push the button, you will move to a new
