Changing batteries
When the hearing instrument generates a warning signal it's
advisable to change your battery as soon as possible. The signal
will continue as long as the battery is not changed or unless it does
not run out of power, and therefore it is advisable to keep an extra
battery at hand.
Remove ‘dead’ battery
Open the battery door by placing your fingernail or a pencil on
the edge of the battery door and gently pull it down. When
opened, remove the dead battery by sliding it out as shown in the
drawing.
The replacement batteryhas to be of type: 13 zinc-air. Remove
the protectiveseal from the fresh batteryand insert it in the battery
door, with the plus side facing down. You will recognize the plus
side of the batterybecause marked with a +. Check whether the +
symbols on the battery and on the battery door are on the same
side. Close the batterydoor. This should go smoothly, so never
force it as this could damage your instrument.

Inserting and removing the instrument
Inserting the instrument
• With the battery door opened in
the off position take the earmould
between thumb and index finger
and position its ‘point’ in your ear
canal. Now, slide the earmould all
the way into your ear with a
gentle, twisting movement.
Insertion can be easier if you
gently pull your auricle backwards
with your other hand.
•Turn the top-part of the earmould
gently backwards and forwards so
that it fits behind the fold of skin
above your ear canal.
• Place the hearing instrument
behind your ear. Move the
earmould up and down and press
gently to ensure it is positioned
correctly in the ear. Opening and
closing your mouth can ease
insertion. You will feel when the
earmould is positioned correctly.
• When correctly positioned switch
on your instrument by closing the battery door.

• You can as well insert the hearing instrument while in the on
position. However you might experience some feedback
(whistling) during the operation.
Removing your instrument
• Switch off the instrument by pressing the battery door in the
‘off’ position.
• Lift the hearing instrument from behind the ear. For a
moment, let it hang beside your ear.
• Using your thumb and index finger, gently pull the earmould
(not the instrument or the tubing) loose from the ear.
• Remove the earmould completely by gently twisting it.
