Turn on your hearing instrument
by closing the battery drawer
completely. Turn off your hearing
instrument by opening the battery
drawer slightly until a click is felt.
An alternative way of turning off
the hearing instrument if you have
dexterity problems is to place the
base of the hearing instrument on
a flat surface, gently press and
drag the instrument as illustrated.
The battery drawer will slightly
open (turning off the hearing
instrument).
To preserve the battery, make sure
your hearing instruments are
switched off when you are not
wearing them.

Putting on your hearing instrument
• Switch off the hearing
instrument by opening
the battery door.
• Hold the earmould as
shown.
• Place the tip of the
earmould in your ear canal,
twisting slightly, making
sure that the top part of the
earmould (A) is pushed
behind and under the fold
(B) of your ear.
• Gently pull down your earlobe and press the
earmould in the direction of the ear canal.
• With the earmould positioned correctly in your ear,
place the hearing instrument behind your ear by
lifting its lower part and sliding it over the top of
your ear.
• Switch on the hearing instrument by closing the
battery door.

Push-button
Your hearing instruments have a push-button. In
the table below, your hearing care professional has
indicated the functionality of your push-button.
It may activate the telecoil or the programs. When you
switch between different settings, your instruments
will beep. Push the button until you hear the beeps –
the switch has a short delay to prevent unintentional
activation. The number of beeps will indicate which
setting you are using. The hearing instrument is
automatically set to microphone (M) for general use
when you turn on the instrument.

Beeps
1 Always microphone (M) for general use
3 T MT Not applicable
3 T Not applicable
Telecoil
The telecoil will pick up signals from built-in loop
systems and from telephones. Use the telecoil when
you are in a building with a loop system installed and
try the telecoil when using a phone. Do not use the
telecoil with mobile phones. Three (3) beeps will
indicate that the telecoil is active. Your hearing
care professional can set the telecoil to work
simultaneously with the microphone (MT) or as
telecoil only (T).
Volume control
Your hearing instruments may have a volume control.
This control allows you to adjust the volume in
different listening situations to the level you feel
comfortable with. Use your fingertip to turn the
control. Rotating the control upward gives louder
sound. Rotating the control downward gives less
(weaker) sound. Your hearing care professional will
program the setting of the volume control to reflect
the overall loudness of your instru-
ments

Battery replacement
A worn-down battery should be
removed immediately. When
battery power is low, you may
hear a series of short beeps. This
indicates that it is time to change
the battery. It is not an indication
of malfunction.
To replace the battery, follow
these instructions:
• Open the swing-out battery drawer by pushing
back the raised edge and remove the old battery.
• Remove the sticky label from the + side of the new
battery
• Insert the new battery (size 13) so that its + sign
faces the + sign printed on the inside of the battery
compartment cover.
When you change batteries, it may take a few minutes
before the new battery works to its full effect.
Disposal:
• Check with your hearing care professional about
arrangements for battery disposal. They may have
a system for disposing of them.
• Never try to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
• Never dispose of batteries with household waste.
They cause environmental pollution.
• Never dispose of batteries by burning them. There is
a risk that they will explode and cause serious
injury.¨

Tamper-resistant battery drawer
(optional)
This is strongly
recommended for infants,
small children, and people
with learning difficulties.
Instructions: To open the battery compartment,
simply insert the end of a ballpoint pen or the like
into the small recess and apply pressure in the
direction of the arrow.
Important: Do not force the battery drawer beyond its
fully open position. Insert the battery correctly.
Excessive strain can deform the battery drawer, which
will reduce its tamper resistant effectiveness.
Adjustable sound hook
The sound hook may be rotated into the
position that gives you maximum
comfort.

FM/DAI - Shoe
FM
An FM receiver enables the hearing instrument to
receive signals directly from an external wireless FM
transmitter.
Mounting of FM
To use an FM receiver start by clicking
the FM shoe onto the instrument. Then
attach the FM receiver to the base of the
FM shoe via the connector. To release the
shoe from the hearing aid click the grey
button and pull back.
DAI
DAI enables the hearing instrument to receive signals
directly from external audio sources such as TV, radio,
PC equipment.
Mounting of DAI
Start by clicking the DAI shoe onto the
instrument. Then insert the DAI cord
into the shoe. To release the shoe from
the hearing aid click the grey button and
pull back.
NOTE: When the DAI is connected to mains operated
equipment, this equipment must comply with
IEC-60065, IEC-60601 or equivalent safety standards.
• Rinse with water.
• Dry the earmould.
• Any water drops inside the
earmould or tubing should be
blown out. A special device for this
purpose (an earmould blower) is
available from your hearing care professional.
• Make sure the earmould and tubing are completely
dry before they are reconnected to the hearing
instruments as shown in the drawing.
Replacing the tubing
The tubing in the earmould should
be replaced when it becomes yel-
low or stiff. Consult your hearing
care professional in relation to
this.

Daily care of your hearing
instruments
When handling a hearing instrument, keep it over a
soft surface to avoid damage if you drop it.
Before retiring for the night:
• Make sure that there is no ear wax in any of the
earmould openings which might reduce the hearing
instruments’ efficiency.
• Open the battery compartments to allow air to
circulate.
Cleaning your earmoulds
The earmoulds should be washed
regularly:
• Disconnect the earmould and tub-
ing from the hearing instrument.
• Wash the earmould in lukewarm water
using a mild soap. Do not use strong
detergents.
The hearing instruments themselves must
never be washed!

Avoiding heat, humidity and chemicals
Your hearing instruments must never be exposed to
extreme heat e.g. left inside a parked car in the sun or
dried in microwave ovens. They must never be
exposed to a lot of moisture e.g. steam baths, showers
or heavy rain.
If your hearing instruments have been exposed to
moisture or very humid conditions it may affect their
performance. Using an anti-humidity kit can help to
avoid these problems and may even extend the life of
your hearing instruments. Consult your hearing care
professional for further advice. Wipe the batteries
carefully if moisture is present.
The chemicals in cosmetics, hairspray, perfume, after-
shave-lotion, suntan lotion and insect repellent can
damage your hearing instruments. You should always
remove your hearing instruments before applying
such products and allow time for the product to dry
before reinserting your hearing instruments. If you
use lotion be sure to wipe your hands dry before
inserting your hearing instruments.

Using your hearing instruments
It takes time to adjust to a new hearing instrument.
How long this adjustment takes differs from person to
person. It will depend on a number of factors, such as
whether you have had hearing instruments before and
the degree of your hearing impairment.
Here are six easy steps to better hearing
1. In the quiet of your home
Try to accustom yourself to all the new sounds. Listen
to the many background sounds and try to identify
each sound. Bear in mind that some sounds will seem
different from what you are used to. You may have to
learn to identify them again. Note that in time you
will get accustomed to the soft sounds in your
environment – if not please contact your hearing
care professional.
If using the hearing instruments makes you tired, take
them off and have a rest. Gradually, you will begin to
be able to listen for longer periods of time. Soon, you
will be able to wear your hearing instruments com-
fortably all day long.
