Congratulations !
As the owner of a new hearin system, you may once a ain
enjoy the sounds of your environment, and conversation
with your family and friends.
These instructions as well as uidance from your hearin
instrument specialist will help you understand how your
new hearin system works. In this uide, you’ll find instruc-
tions on insertion, removal and use of your INTUISTM hearin
system. There are also tips and information on proper
handlin , cleanin , care and chan in of the batteries. In
addition, a troubleshootin section is offered for your
reference.
Your hearin improvement with a hearin system depends
on the fit of the hearin instruments, the type and de ree
of hearin loss, and proper dia nostic testin . Of course,
a hearin system cannot restore normal hearin , and not
everyone will benefit equally.
More than 80 percent of individuals with a hearin loss have
a hearin loss in both ears. Studies show that even when a
hearin loss is worse in one ear, most people with a hearin
loss in both ears will benefit from wearin two hearin
instruments.
Remember, a hearin system consists of finely-tuned devices
that have been specially desi ned and expertly adjusted for
your individual needs. Proper care and handlin will ensure
the best possible performance of your INTUIS hearin
system.

The protective tab on your battery
should only be removed when
you are ready to use the battery.
Three useful tips:
• The positive (+) side of the battery is always the
smooth side. You can reco nize the ne ative (-) side
by the colored rin .
• Always keep spare batteries with you.
• If you think you cannot chan e the battery by yourself,
ask someone to help you: a family member, friend or
your hearin instrument specialist.
Low attery indicator
Your hearin system may be pro-
rammed to inform you when the
battery should be replaced for
best system performance. You
may hear an intermittent series of
beeps and/or experience low
amplification power or volume.
Chan e the battery when either
of these occurs.

ori inal size
Handling the battery
Place the proper size battery into the
battery compartment door, makin
sure that the "+" symbol on the
smooth side of the battery matches
the "+" symbol on the ed e of the
battery compartment door, as shown
in the illustration. (Ask your hearin
instrument specialist if you have
questions about the correct battery
size for your system)

Gently close the battery compartment. Do not force the
door shut. If it does not close easily, check to see if the bat-
tery is inserted properly. When the battery compartment
is completely closed, your hearin system is ready for use.
Inserting the attery:
Before usin your hearin instrument,
place the battery into the battery com-
partment door. Usin the fin ernail of
either your thumb or index fin er, pull
the tab on the battery compartment
door outward until the door swin s
open all the way (see illustration).

Caution:
Keep atteries and instruments away from the reach of
children. Batteries can e harmful if swallowed. If swal-
lowed consult a physician or a hospital immediately.
Change the atteries when any of the following occur:
- volume ecomes softer or weak
- you hear a attery signal eep
Do NOT throw used atteries into household trash. Return
them to your hearing instrument specialist for environ-
mentally correct disposal.

Inserting and remo ing your

be able to feel if the hearin
instrument is correctly positioned.
Tip:
Practice insertin and removin
your hearin instrument correctly.
An easy way to practice is to sit
down at a table. Place a mirror in
