Warnings

You should familiarize yourself fully with the following general warnings and the entire

contents of this booklet before using your hearing instrument.

Usage of hearing instruments

• Hearing instruments should be used only as directed and adjusted by your Hearing

Care Professional. Misuse can result in sudden and permanent hearing loss.

• Never allow others to wear your hearing instrument as incorrect/wrongful usage could

cause permanent damage to their hearing.

Choking hazards

• Hearing instruments, their parts, and batteries are not toys and should be kept out

of reach of children and anyone who might swallow these items or otherwise cause

injury to themselves.

• Never change the battery or adjust the controls of the hearing instruments in front

of infants, small children or people with learning difficulties.

• Discard batteries carefully in a place where infants, small children or people with

learning difficulties cannot reach them.

• Batteries have occasionally been mistaken for pills. Therefore check your medicine

carefully before swallowing any pills.

• Never put your hearing instrument or batteries in your mouth for any reason, as they

are slippery and could be swallowed by accident.

Battery use

• Always use batteries recommended by your Hearing Care Professional. Batteries of low

quality may leak and cause bodily harm.

• Never attempt to recharge your batteries. They may explode and cause serious injury.

• Never dispose of batteries by burning them. There is a risk that they will explode and

cause serious injury.

Dysfunction in hearing instruments

• Hearing instruments may stop functioning, for instance if the batteries have expired or

if the speaker is blocked by moisture or earwax. You should be aware of this possibility,

in particular when you are in traffic or otherwise dependent on warning sounds.

Active implants

• Oticon shows caution and advise to follow the guideline as recommended by manufac-

turers of implantable defibrillators and pacemakers regarding use of mobile phones.

• If you wear an active implant, then keep the hearing instruments more than 15 cm

away from the implant e.g. do not carry them in a breast pocket. If you have an active

brain implant, please contact the manufacturer of your implantable device for informa-

tion about the risk of disturbance.

• The MultiTool has a built-in magnet. If you have an implantable device, such as

pacemakers or defibrillators, the MultiTool should not be carried in a breast pocket or

near the chest.

Explosives

• The power source in your hearing instrument has insufficient energy to cause fire in

normal conditions of use. The hearing instrument has not been tested for compliance

with international standards concerning explosive atmospheres. It is recommended not

to use your hearing instruments in areas where there is a danger of explosions.

X-ray, CT, MR, PET scanning and electrotherapy

• Remove your hearing instrument for example during X-ray, CT / MR / PET scanning

electrotherapy or surgery as your hearing instruments may be damaged when exposed

to strong fields.

Possible side effects

• Hearing instruments or ear moulds may cause an accelerated accumulation of ear wax.

• The otherwise non-allergenic materials used in hearing instruments may in rare cases

cause a skin irritation or any other unusual condition. Please, seek consultation with a

physician if these conditions occur.

Interference

• Your hearing instrument has been thoroughly tested for interference, according to

the most stringent international standards. However, interference with your hearing

instrument and other devices may occur, for example for some mobile telephones,

citizens band devices and shop alarm systems. If this occurs increase the distance

between the hearing instrument and the device.

Changing batteries

The correct battery size appears in the “Instrument View” in

the first section of this document.

A worn out battery should be removed immediately and

disposed of according to local regulations.

You will hear 2 beeps when it is time to change the battery.

This pre-warning will be repeated in moderate intervals until

the battery runs out. The battery may run out shortly after a

pre-warning or within the next couple of hours depending

on battery capabilities and individual hearing losses.

If the battery runs out, the instrument turns off. When that

happens, 4 beeps are played to indicate that the instrument

is no longer operating.

Replace the battery.

Activating the hearing instrument for the first time

A hearing instrument is a miniature electronic device that runs on special batteries.

To activate the hearing instrument, you must insert a fresh battery in the battery

compartment.

The hearing instrument will start up when the battery door is closed. It will take a few

seconds until sound is produced. A jingle is played while the start up process is running.

Put on the hearing instruments upon closing the battery door.

If the hearing instrument is held in the hand while activated, it may produce a whistling

sound. This will stop when properly fitted on the ear.

Turning your instruments ON and OFF

Turn ON your hearing instrument by closing the battery door completely with the battery

in place. When the battery door is closed the instrument will start up by playing a jingle.

This indicates that the battery is working and the instrument is operating.

Turn OFF your hearing instrument by opening the battery door. Make sure that the

battery door is fully opened to turn off the instrument completely.

To preserve the battery, make sure your hearing instrument is switched off when you are

not wearing it.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Open the battery door fully to allow

air to circulate whenever you are not

using your hearing instrument,

especially at night or for longer

periods of time!

ON OFF

To replace the battery, follow these instructions:

• Open the battery door completely by pushing the raised edge on the bottom of the

instrument. To assist with the handling of the batteries, the magnet at the end of the

MultiTool can be used to help you.

• Remove the sticky label from the + side of the new battery.

• The new battery may be inserted by using the magnetic end of the MultiTool.

Ensure that the positive (+) marking faces the positive (+) sign printed on the battery

door. Close the battery door.

If any moisture is on the battery surface, it should be

wiped off before use. When you change the battery,

it will take a few seconds before the battery works.

To assist the handling of the batteries, the magnet

placed at the end of the tool can be used.

Left/Right ear marking

Hearing instruments are fitted to the uniqueness of each ear, which means if you have

two instruments then your left hearing instrument is programmed differently from your

right. That is why it is important to distinguish between the left hearing instrument and

the right.

In order to easily identify whether it is the left ear or right ear instrument, the Hearing

Care Professional may apply colour markings inside the battery door.

A blue dot marks the LEFT instrument.

A red dot marks the RIGHT instrument.

Putting on your instrument

1. Place the speaker, with the ear piece attached, into

your ear.

2. Place the instrument behind your ear.

3. Make sure that the ear piece is placed so that the speaker

wire follows the contour of the skin.

4. If the instrument has an ear grip, place it in the ear as

indicated in drawing 3 and 4 so it follows the contour

of the ear.

Programs (Optional - via Streamer)

Your hearing instrument can have up to 4 different programs. The number and type

of programs available in your hearing instrument is programmed by your Hearing Care

Professional.

If you wish to be able to switch programs yourself, you will need a ConnectLine Streamer.

Please see your Streamer’s Instruction For Use of how to operate it together with your

hearing instrument.

When switching between the different programs, your hearing instrument will beep.

The number of beeps will indicate which program you are using.

One beep, when you switch to program 1

 Two beeps, when you switch to program 2

 Three beeps, when you switch to program 3

 Four beeps, when you switch to program 4

The programs available for your hearing instrument are listed in the Hearing Program

Description on the last page of this document.
