Important

Please read this booklet carefully before you start using
your hearing aid.

Your hearing aid, ear-set and accessories may not
look exactly as illustrated in this booklet. We also
reserve the right to make any changes considered
ne-cessary.

Right/left identification

If you wear hearing aids on
both ears, it is a good idea to
ask your hearing care profes­sional to put coloured marks on
the hearing aids (red mark =
right and blue mark = left).

The arrow shows the position
of the identification mark.

Function signals

Your hearing aid may be set to produce a signal to indi­cate the use of certain functions. The signal may be a
spoken message or tones adjusted by the hearing care
professional in consultation with you. The signal can
also be deactivated.

Light emitting diode

The hearing aid is provided with a light emitting diode.
This may be set to flash when:

• a signal is received from a remote control, if such is
used.

• the hearing aid is turned on or certain listening pro­grams are activated.

The battery

We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 13 bat­tery for your hearing aid.

To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your
hearing care professional. It is important to take note of
the expiry date and the recommendations regarding
disposal of used batteries on the battery pack.

Inserting the battery

Before inserting a new battery in the
hearing aid, remember to remove the
adhesive tab. Once the tab has been
removed, the battery will start func-

tioning after a few seconds. Do not
use batteries on which there is a sticky residue from the
tab or other unwanted substance.

1. Use the nail grip to swing the battery drawer open.

2. Place the battery so that the plus (+) sign of the

battery faces upwards.

3. You can use the battery magnet provided to steer

the battery into place.

If the battery drawer does not close easily, the battery
is incorrectly inserted. When changing battery, it is a
good idea to hold the hearing aid over a table.

Low battery indication

In the standard setting the hearing aid will produce a
spoken message when the battery is nearly exhausted
(see page 7). If the setting with tone indication has
been chosen, four beep-tones will be produced. Once
the battery is totally exhausted, the hearing aid will be
completely silent. We recommend that you always
have a spare battery with you.

Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing aid.
Exhausted batteries may leak, damaging the hearing
aid.

Battery drawer lock

The hearing aid may be provided
with a battery drawer lock. This lock
can be a good choice if the hearing
aid is worn by a child. The tool used
to open the lock is the small screw­driver included in the cleaning ac­cessories.

The lock is opened by push­ing it to the right and then
downward with the tool in
one movement as illustrat­ed.

Important

Your hearing aid may stop functioning, for instance if
the battery is exhausted. You should be aware of this
possibility, in particular when you are in traffic or are
otherwise dependent on warning signals.

Turning the hearing aid on and off

The battery drawer of your hearing aid also functions
as the on/off switch.

1. Push the switch upwards to turn the hearing aid
on. If you have just turned off the hearing aid, wait
at least three seconds before turning it on again.

2. Push the switch downwards to turn the hearing aid
off.

3. The word “OFF” is clearly visible on the switch
when the hearing aid is turned off.

In the standard setting a spoken message will indicate
that the hearing aid has been switched on (see page 7).

Please remember to turn off the hearing aid when it is
not in use. Remove the battery if the hearing aid will
not be used for several days.

Positioning the hearing aid and
earmould

1. Insert the earmould in the ear canal while holding

the lower part of the tubing.

2. It may help to pull the outer ear backwards and
upwards with the opposite hand.

3. Place the hearing aid behind the ear, so that the
earhook of the hearing aid rests comfortably on
the ear, close to your head.
