ABOUT YOUR HEARING INSTRUMENTS

Each instrument can be identiﬁed by its serial

number, located on the outside shell.

Serial Number and Identiﬁcation

Your hearing instruments are identiﬁed by the color

marking of the serial number on the shell of the

instrument. RED is for RIGHT, while BLUE is for LEFT.

Battery Size

Battery sizes can be identiﬁed by a color code on

the packaging. Instruments like yours commonly

use either a size 13 battery (orange marking on the

package), or size 312 battery (brown marking on

the package).

It is very important to use the correct size and type

battery for your hearing instrument.

Because of their size, it’s a

good idea to change and

replace batteries at a table

or desk to reduce the risk

of dropping the instrument

or battery.

IDENTIFICATION BATTERIES

Your hearing instruments use a size _______

battery.

Your batteries have a _________ mark on

the package.

00-00000000

YEAR MADE SERIAL NUMBER

To insert or replace

the battery, open the

compartment by placing your

ﬁngernail under the edge of

the swing-out door and gently

pulling outward. Do not open

the battery door too far or

damage is likely to occur.

Changing Batteries

Remove the old battery by

pushing it out the top of the

fully opened door.

DO NOT pull it out the side

of the door.

Place the new battery in the

compartment with the plus

(+) sign facing up.

Close the battery

compartment by swinging

the door until it snaps shut.

NEVER FORCE THE DOOR SHUT. This could result

in serious damage. If the door will not close easily,

check that the battery is placed properly in the

compartment and is not upside down.

Low Battery Indicator

Your hearing professional will check the box below

if the low battery indicator for your instruments is

turned on.

When the low battery indicator is turned on, your

hearing instruments will beep four times going from

a high-to-low pitch when the battery’s voltage is low.

Replace the battery when you hear these tones.

When the battery is too weak to power the hearing

instrument, you will hear a tone for two seconds and

the instrument will shut down. Replace the battery

when this happens.

BATTERIES BATTERIES

The low battery indicator is turned on.

Battery Caution

Because batteries can vary in size and performance,

your hearing professional is your best source for

lifespan estimates and veriﬁcation that you are using

the proper size and type.

To help prevent the accidental ingestion of batteries,

keep them out of the reach of children and pets.

Always check your medication before ingesting –

batteries have been mistaken for pills.

Never put batteries in your mouth for any reason, as

they can easily be unintentionally swallowed.

Dispose of used batteries immediately, using

the proper waste or recycling receptacle.

Before placing your instruments into your ears, make

certain the batteries are inserted properly and the

battery doors are closed securely.

NEVER use the battery compartment door to insert

or remove the instrument! Damage may occur, as the

door is not designed to withstand the pressure.

To insert your instrument, hold it between your

thumb and foreﬁnger with

the volume control toward

the bottom of your ear. The

battery compartment should

be facing away from your

ear canal.

m WARNING:

HEARING INSTRUMENT BATTERIES ARE

DANGEROUS IF SWALLOWED.

INSERTION AND REMOVALBATTERIES

Gently push the instrument

in until it is resting

comfortably inside

your canal.

Gently rotate the instrument

until it is comfortably set

inside the bowl of your ear.

Pull your earlobe down slightly and press on the

instrument to ensure it is

ﬁrmly in place.

To remove your ITE,

grasp the instrument with

your thumb and foreﬁnger,

and gently rotate it as you

pull outward.

The volume control of your hearing instrument

enables you to turn the instrument “on” and “off,” as

well as adjust the amount of ampliﬁcation provided

by the instrument.

Your instruments are ready

for use when a functioning

battery is properly placed in

the compartment and the

battery door is closed.

To turn the instrument “on,”

use your ﬁngertip to rotate

the volume control forward,

toward your face.

You should feel it “click”

on if the instrument was

correctly turned off. To make

sounds louder, continue to rotate the control

forward, toward your face. Your hearing instruments

may be programmed to “beep” when you reach the

correct setting.

To make sounds softer, use

your ﬁngertip to rotate the

control toward the back of

your head.

To turn the instrument “off,”

rotate the control further

backwards, until you feel it

“click” and the control no longer turns.

Some hearing instruments are programmed to have a

power on delay. Your hearing professional will place

a check in the box below if your hearing instruments

have this feature.

The power on delay means that your instruments will

take several seconds to power up once they have

been turned on. This feature allows you to get the

hearing instruments in your ear before they start to

amplify sound.

Multimemory Settings

Your hearing professional will place a check in

the box below if your hearing instruments have a

multimemory push button.

While your hearing instruments make many

adjustments automatically, the multimemory push

button lets you select a different memory setting

for your current listening environment; for example,

when you are using the telephone or sitting in a

noisy restaurant.

When ﬁrst turned on, your

instruments are most likely

programmed for normal

listening environments.

Additional settings are

accessed by pressing

the button on the

hearing instrument.

Your hearing instruments have a multimemory

push button.

automatically when used with a hearing aid

compatible telephone. To use, place the

telephone receiver slightly to ﬁnd the best reception.

Once the telephone is removed from the ear, the

hearing instrument will switch back to the normal

listening mode.

Note: If you have a hearing aid compatible phone,

but your Automatic Telephone Response or

provide you with a small magnet to place on your

telephone receiver. This magnet will help activate

your automatic telephone option.
