On/Off

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.

Setting of your push-button

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

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!

Left Right

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.
