Switching on and off

Switch your hearing instrument on by closing the

battery door. Switch your instrument off by a small

movement of the battery door till you feel a click.

After switching on, your hearing instrument will

always start in program 1.

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 battery has to be of type: 13 zinc-air. Remove the

protective seal from the fresh battery and insert it in the battery door,

with the plus side facing down. You will recognize the plus side of the

battery because marked with a +. Check whether the + symbols on the

battery and on the battery door are on the same side. Close the battery

door. This should go smoothly, so never force it as this could damage

your instrument.

Setting the volume

Your instrument has a volume control which allows you to set and con-

trol the volume manually.

During the ﬁtting of the hearing instru-

ment, your hearing care practitioner

will have chosen an optimal volume

setting for you. Please note the set-

ting of that particular level.

Your volume control has numbers on

it to indicate the sound level.

Program button

Your hearing instrument has a push button allowing you to use up to

three different listening programs, each of them suitable for certain

situations.

After pressing the program button,

the instrument will switch program.

If it was in program 1 it will switch

to program 2, if it was in program 2

it will switch to program 3 (TN3T75

again will switch to program 1.

Your instrument will give an

audible signal after pressing the pro-

Maintenance and cleaning

Earwax (cerumen) can accumulate in and on the earmould during

use. Therefore, clean your earmould regularly. Failure to do so can

lead to an accumulation of earwax, impairing sound quality.

Keep your hearing instrument clean and dry. Wipe the case with a

soft cloth or tissue after use to remove grease or moisture. You should

avoid exposing your instrument directly to moisture such as rain or

water from the shower. If your instrument does get wet or if it has been

exposed to high humidity or perspiration, it should be left to dry out

overnight with the battery out and the battery compartment open. It

is also a good idea to put them in a sealed container together with a

drying agent (dessicator) overnight. Consult your hearing care profes-

sional as to which drying agent to use.

Storing your instrument

When you are not using your instrument, keep or transport it in the

box supplied. Leave the battery door open. Keep your instrument

in a dry place, not in a bathroom or other humid place. Alternatively,

you could store the instrument in a dessicator available from your

hearing care practitioner.

ment to the earmould if it turns stiff or changes colour.
