Your new AIKIA hearing aid

The battery

Battery type

The recommended battery type for your AIKIA

hearing aid is:

Zinc Air battery type 312

To obtain replacement batteries, please consult

your hearing care professional. Please note the ex-

piry date and the recommendations regarding dis-

posal of used batteries on the battery pack. To en-

sure proper battery function, do not use batteries

past the expiry date. Because they are Zinc Air type

batteries, they need air to work. Therefore, do not

remove the adhesive tab until just before inserting

the battery in the hearing aid. Once the tab has

been removed, the battery will start functioning

after a few seconds. The battery life will depend on

a number of factors, such as the setting of your

hearing aid, how many hours you use it daily and

the listening environments in which you use it.

Inserting the battery

Before inserting a new battery in

your hearing aid, remember to

remove the adhesive tab. Do not

use batteries on which there is a

sticky residue from the tab or

other unwanted substance.

When opening the battery compartment cover, be

careful not to force it beyond the upright position.

Place the battery in the battery compartment so

that the side of the battery with the small plus (+)

sign is facing in the same direction as the plus (+)

sign on the battery compartment cover.

If the battery compartment cover does not close

easily, the battery is incorrectly inserted.

Changing the battery

If you hear four rapid beep-tones while wearing

your hearing aid, it is an indication that the battery

is nearly exhausted. Once the battery is totally ex-

hausted, the hearing aid will be completely silent.

Exactly how long the hearing aid will function after

the beep-tones varies from one case to another.

We recommend that you always have a spare bat-

tery with you.

For adjustment of the beep-tone level or disabling

of the function, please consult your hearing care

professional.

Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing

aid. Exhausted batteries may leak, which could

damage the hearing aid. When changing batteries,

it is a good idea to hold the hearing aid over a table

or a carpet, in case you drop the hearing aid or bat-

tery.
