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.
9
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.
10
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.
