2. Open the battery door gently and remove

the old battery.

3. Remove the tab from the new battery.

4. Line up the battery’s plus “+” sign (ﬂat side of

the battery) with the “+” on the battery door.

5. Close the battery door.

Battery Indicators

An indicator will sound when the battery’s voltage

is low. You have approximately 5 minutes* to

replace the battery. An indicator will also sound

just before the battery stops working.

* Actual time between low battery indicator and shut

down will vary depending on environmental noise

levels and brand of battery used.

Helpful Hints

• NEVER FORCE THE BATTERY DOOR SHUT;

this could result in serious damage; if the door

will not close securely, check that the battery

is inserted correctly

• Do not open the battery door too far or

damage is likely to occur

• Dispose of used batteries immediately in the

proper waste or recycling container

• Because batteries can vary in size and

performance, your hearing care professional

is your best source for lifespan estimates and

veriﬁcation that you are using the proper size

and type

Warnings

Batteries are dangerous if swallowed. To help

prevent the accidental ingestion of batteries:

Keep out of reach of children and pets

Check your medications before taking them –

batteries have been mistaken for pills

Never put batteries in your mouth, as they can

easily be swallowed

Insertion and Removal

Helpful Hints

•

Minor irritation and inﬂammation may occur as your

ear becomes accustomed to having an object in it;

if so, please contact your hearing care professional.

•

If an actual allergic reaction occurs, alternative

earmold materials are available; contact your hearing

care professional.

•

Severe swelling, discharge from the ear, excessive

wax, or other unusual conditions warrant immediate

consultation with a physician.

10 11

Multimemory Button

Your hearing care professional can

set up to four hearing programs

for you. These additional programs

are accessed by pressing the

Multimemory button inward.

Consult your hearing care

professional for your customized

settings.

Your hearing care professional

can set your Multimemory button

as a volume control to increase

or decrease the volume of your hearing instruments.

The volume control can be accessed by pressing the

Multimemory button inward. Consult your hearing care

professional for your customized settings.

OperationOperation

On & Off

To turn ON:

Insert a battery and completely close the

battery door.

To turn OFF: Open the battery door until the battery is

no longer touching the battery contacts.

Your hearing instrument has a Power-On delay. The

Power-On delay means that your hearing 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. You may hear a tone series indicating that your

device is fully powered on.

12 13

Telephone Use

Your hearing system has a telephone feature that

enables you to comfortably use the telephone

without removing your hearing instrument.

General Telephone Use

Some hearing instruments

work best by holding the

phone close to, but not fully

covering your ear. In some

instances, if you encounter

whistling (feedback), tilt the

receiver at an angle until the

whistling stops. Your hearing

professional can provide

instructions and techniques

for your speciﬁc needs.

Directional Settings

Your hearing system has directional microphones to

help improve speech understanding in noisy situations.

Operation Operation

DISCLAIMER – Some hearing aid users have

reported a buzzing sound in their hearing aids when

they are using cell phones, indicating that the cell

phone and hearing aid may not be compatible.

According to the ANSI C63.19 standard (ANSI

C63.19-2006 American National Standard Methods

of Measurement of Compatibility Between Wireless

Communications Devices and Hearing Aids), the

compatibility of a particular hearing aid and cell

phone can be predicted by adding the rating for

the hearing aid immunity to the rating for the

cell phone emissions. For example, the sum of a

hearing aid rating of 2 (M2) and a telephone rating

of 3 (M3) would result in a combined rating of 5.

Any combined rating that equals at least 5 would

provide “normal use”; a combined rating of 6 or

greater would indicate “excellent performance.”

The immunity of this hearing aid is at least M2. The

equipment performance measurements, categories

and system classiﬁcations are based upon the best

information available but cannot guarantee that all

users will be satisﬁed.

NOTE: The performance of individual hearing aids

may vary with individual cell phones. Therefore,

please try this hearing aid with your cell phone

or, if you are purchasing a new phone, be sure to

try it with your hearing aid prior to purchase. For

additional guidance, please ask your cell phone

provider for the booklet entitled “Hearing Aid

Compatibility with Digital Wireless Cell Phones.”

Hearing System Care

Instrument Care

Do your best to keep your hearing instrument clean

at all times. Heat, moisture and foreign substances

to clean your instrument

Your hearing care professional can provide further
