On/Off Function

Your hearing aid

is equipped with an

on/off switch integrated

into the battery

compartment. When

the battery compartment

is fully closed, the instrument is turned on.

To turn the instrument off, grasp the battery com-

partment door with your ﬁngernail and gently pull

downwards. The power will switch off at the point

where you can feel a small click. Whenever you are

not wearing the instrument, remember to turn it off to

reduce battery consumption.

SmartStart

Your hearing care professional

may have activated the SmartStart

function in your hearing instrument.

The SmartStart delays the switch-on

time 10 seconds after closing the

battery compartment. This is indicated

by beeps at one second intervals after

closing the battery compartment, which means that you

could hear 10 beeps before the hearing aid is activated.

If you wish, it can be inactivated by your hearing care

professional.

Removing:

1. Grasp the receiver tube where

it bends and pull the receiver

dome out of your ear canal.

2. Lift the hearing instrument

of your ear.

Removing (when using a RIE Mold):

1. Grasp the pull-out cord on the

RIE Mold and pull the RIE Mold

out of your ear canal.

2. Lift the hearing instrument

of your ear.

Inserting and removing the device

Inserting:

1. Hang the instrument over the top of

the ear.

2. Grasp the receiver tube where it bends and push the

receiver dome into your ear canal. The

receiver dome should be placed far

enough into the ear so that the

receiver tube lies ﬂush with your

head. When the receiver dome is

placed appropriately, you should not see the receiver

tube sticking out when you look directly into a mirror.

3. If the hearing care professional has provided

you with a sport lock on the receiver tube,

make sure to position it into the indenta-

tion above the earlobe. If the device

whistles, the most likely reason is that the

receiver dome is not placed correctly in the

ear canal.

Other reasons can be build-up of earwax

in the ear canal. It is also possible that the

instrument settings are not optimal. To help

you solve these issues it is recommended to

contact your hearing care professional.

Changing the Battery

When the battery voltage/power decreases

to a certain level, the instrument will stop

amplifying and emit soft beeping

signals. This signal will continue

for about one minute and the

sequence will continue

every ﬁve minutes

until the instrument

will be automatically

switched off.

Please make sure you have the correct size battery. It

will be labeled on the battery or on the battery pack-

age. This hearing instrument requires a size 10A. This is

a Standard Zinc Air battery.

If you forget the battery size

your hearing instrument uses you

will ﬁnd it labeled on the ﬂat side of

the hearing instrument. Please open the

battery compartment completely, without

using force, by using your ﬁngernail.

After removing the old battery, insert the new one.

The battery should be inserted in the battery compart-

ment with the ﬂat side, which is the side with the sticker

on, facing up. The battery should ﬁt in like a puzzle

piece. Be sure to remove the sticker before closing the

battery compartment door. The battery compartment

door should close very easily. Never use force to close

the door as this may damage your hearing instrument.

Please remove the battery when you are not wearing

the instrument. This will help preventing corrosion on

the battery contacts.

The Receiver Tube

Please see illustrations.

Depending on your hearing loss

you have either been ﬁtted with

the NP or the HP receiver type.

Please see page 29 to see your

selected type. The receiver tube contains the wiring to the

receiver which delivers the sound direct in the ear canal. It

is important that the receiver tube and the receiver dome/

RIE Mold ﬁt correctly into your ear. If the receiver tube or

the receiver dome/RIE Mold irritate your ear in any way and

prevent you from wearing your hearing instrument, please

contact your hearing care professional. You should never

attempt to modify the shape of the receiver tube yourself.

The receiver tube and the receiver dome/RIE Mold should

be cleaned regularly.

Please see instructions in the next section.

Cleaning the Receiver Tube and the Receiver Domes

The receiver tube and the receiver dome should be clea-

ned regularly. Use a damp cloth to clean the receiver tube

and receiver dome on the outside. Do not use water when

you are cleaning the receiver tubes or the receiver domes.

Please see instruction on page 19 or 20 for how to

change the HF3 wax guard ﬁlter.

Daily Maintenance

Keep your hearing instrument clean and dry. Wipe the

case with a soft cloth or tissue after use to remove gre-

ase or moisture. You should avoid exposing your instru-

ment 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.

To avoid the need for unwarranted repairs:

• Never immerse the instrument in water or other li-

quids since this may cause permanent damage to the

circuitry.

• Protect your hearing instrument from rough hand-

ment or deform the casing or the receiver tube.

Cleaning the RIE Mold

We recommend that you use a damp cloth to clean the RIE

mold after every time you use it. It’s important to keep it

clean from wax so that you will not have wax or bacteria

building up on the mold.

If you no longer can clean the RIE Mold using a damp cloth

we recommend you to contact your hearing care profes-

sional for them to clean it, using water and soap. If your

hearing care professional has instructed you to clean it your-

self this way, please follow the instructions below.

The Receiver Domes

The Receiver Air Dome / Receiver Tulip Dome / Receiver

Power Dome should be changed every third month or

sooner if needed. We recommend that you have your

hearing care professional change the Receiver Air Dome

/ Receiver Tulip Dome / Receiver Power Dome for you. If

your hearing care professional instructs you to change

the Receiver domes yourself, make sure that they are

securely fastened to the receiver tube before inserting

them in your ear. A failure to change the domes in

accordance with the instructions could result in injury.

If you have been ﬁtted with a Receiver Power Dome we

strongly recommend that your hearing care professional

change the dome since this needs to be done with a

tool.

How to mount the Receiver Air Dome

The Receiver Air Dome is mounted by pushing it gently

over the receiver at the end of the receiver tube.

How to mount the Receiver Tulip Dome

The Receiver Tulip Dome

should be directed with the sound

The sound outlet hole can turn

both ways; the direction of the

sound outlet hole affects the length

of the sound tube according to the

entrance of your ear canal.

Please ask your hearing care

professional which way the sound

outlet hole should turn in your ear.

The Receiver Tulip Dome consists of two “leaves” and

it is important that the largest “leaf” is the outermost

“leaf”(4).

How to mount the Receiver Power Dome

We strongly recommend that you always turn to your

hearing care professional when the power domes needs

to be changed, since it can only be mounted the correct

way with a tool. If mounted incorrectly there is a risk

that the dome will come of and stay in your ear canal.

We advise you to have them changed when the domes is

turning yellow in color, get’s damaged or can no longer

be cleaned with a damp cloth.

Double Wax Guard Filter

Your hearing instrument has two types of wax guard ﬁl-

ters to increase the protection against wax and moister

to damage the hearing instrument.

The ﬁrst wax guard ﬁlter is in-moulded in the Receiver

domes. This will act as the front protection.

The second wax guard ﬁlter is placed at the front of the

receiver or inside the dome if the hearing care profes-
