Replacing the battery

The advanced performance features of your Exélia

instruments require specially designed high performance

batteries (called GenX batteries). Therefore please

only use these GenX batteries (size 13). The use of other

batteries could lead to reduced battery life and the

optimum performance of your Exélia hearing systems

can not be guaranteed.

Using the nail grip, open the battery compartment

completely and remove the old battery.

Remove the

protective foil from

the new battery.

Insert the new battery with the “+” sign (flat side

of the battery) in line with the “+” marked on

the battery compartment and close it. The correct

battery orientation can also be seen on the inside

of the battery compartment.

Preparation

P57736_Pho_GB_Exelia_BTE.qxp 30.11.2007 15:09 Uhr Seite 10

Please only use GenX batteries for your Exélia

instruments.

Handle the battery compartment with care and

do not use excessive force.

If there is any resistance when closing the

compartment, ensure that the battery is

inserted correctly. The compartment may not

close properly if the battery is upside down,

and the instrument will not work.

When your hearing system is not in use, leave

the battery compartment open to allow any

moisture to evaporate.

Low battery warning

An acoustic signal gives you an early warning that

the battery is approaching exhaustion. You have

approximately 30 minutes to replace the battery after

hearing the signal. This reserve may be higher

and the hearing system will repeat the low battery

warning approximately every 30 minutes.

Please note that the battery consumption increases

with regular use of the myPilot command center

or the iCom communication interface.

Tamper proof battery compartment

To protect children from the dangers of playing with

batteries, a special locking system may be mounted on

the instruments. This locking system can also be used

for identifying left and right instruments (see page 15).

To lock the battery compartment, after it is closed:

Use a small screwdriver and turn the screw to its

middle position (slot vertical).

To unlock the battery compartment: Turn the screw to

its horizontal position.

Preparation

P57736_Pho_GB_Exelia_BTE.qxp 30.11.2007 15:09 Uhr Seite 12

Please make sure that the screw is in the unlocked

position when you close the battery compartment.

Locked Unlocked

The ON/OFF switch is not available when the

battery compartment is locked.

To switch the hearing system OFF, it is necessary

to unlock the tamper proof battery compartment.

Identifying left and right instruments

It is important to use the correct hearing system for

each ear.

Your hearing care professional can mark the hearing

systems for you. The color code on the housing will

identify left and right hearing systems.

The color code is as follows:

red = right

blue = left

Preparation

P57736_Pho_GB_Exelia_BTE.qxp 30.11.2007 15:09 Uhr Seite 14

Place the canal portion of the earmold inside your ear

canal. If it is difficult to get it into place, stretch your ear

by pulling it gently backwards and upwards with your

other hand. When the canal portion is in place, twist the

earmold backwards so that it fits into the concha and

the helix portion is under the fold.

Inserting your

hearing system

with earmold into

your ear

Using the hand on the same side you wear your hearing

system, grasp the earmold between the thumb and

index finger.

Raise your hand to your ear making sure the canal

portion of the earmold faces your ear. Tilt your hand

slightly forward.

Preparation

P57736_Pho_GB_Exelia_BTE.qxp 30.11.2007 15:09 Uhr Seite 16

Now position the hearing system behind the ear.

Be careful not to twist the tubing.

Check the placement of the earmold by tracing the

contour of the ear with your finger.

To remove your hearing system, grasp the earmold,

not the tubing, and pull it out of your ear gently but

firmly.
