Left/Right ear marking
Hearing instruments are fitted to the uniqueness of each ear, which means if you have
two instruments then your left hearing instrument is programmed differently from your
right. That is why it is important to distinguish between the left hearing instrument and
the right.
In order to easily identify whether it is left ear or right ear instrument, colour markings
may be applied inside the battery door.
A blue dot marks the LEFT instrument.
A red dot marks the RIGHT instrument.
Putting on your instrument
Place the speaker, with the ear piece attached, into your
ear first (1) and then place the instrument behind your
ear (2).
If the power instrument has a Power Mould as ear piece,
make sure it is positioned in the ear so it perfectly fits
the ergonomics of the ear canal in a tight and comfort-
able way.
Make sure that the ear piece is placed so that the tube
follows the contour of the skin.

Changing batteries
Your hearing instrument battery size is 312.
A worn out battery should be removed immediately.
When the battery power is low, you will hear 2 beeps.
This pre-warning starts when the battery has only a few
hours of operation left. The pre-warning will be repeated
with moderate intervals to indicate it is time to change
the battery.
If the battery runs out the instrument turns off. When that
happens, 4 beeps are played to indicate that the instrument
is no longer operating.
It is not an indication of a malfunction.
To replace the battery, follow these instructions:
Open the battery door completely by pushing the raised edge in the bottom of the•
instrument. Remove the old battery.
Remove the sticky label from the + side of the new battery.•
Insert the new battery so that its + marking faces the + sign printed on the battery•
door. Close the battery door.
Any moisture on the battery surface should be wiped
off before use.
When you change battery, it will take a few seconds
before the battery works to full capacity.
To assist the handling of the batteries, the magnet
placed at the end of the tool can be used.
