GENERAL

RIGHT/LEFT IDENTIFICATION

The arrow shows the position of the

identification mark (red mark = right

and blue mark = left).

ACOUSTIC INDICATORS

The hearing aid may be set to produce a signal to in-

dicate the use of certain functions. The signal may be

a spoken message or tones adjusted by the hearing

care professional in consultation with you. The signal

can also be deactivated.

THE BATTERY

We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 10 bat-

tery for the hearing aid.

To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your

hearing care professional. It is important to take note

of the expiry date and the recommendations regard-

ing disposal of used batteries on the battery pack.

INSERTING THE BATTERY

Before inserting a new battery into the

hearing aid, remember to remove the ad-

hesive tab. Once the tab has been re-

moved, the battery will start functioning

after a few seconds. Do not use batteries

on which there is a sticky residue from

the tab or other unwanted substance.

Use the nail grip to gently swing the bat-

tery drawer open. Do not press the draw-

er beyond the open position.

10 11

GENERAL

Place the battery in the drawer as illustrated, so that

the plus (+) sign on the battery is facing towards you

when you hold the hearing aid as shown. You can use

the battery magnet provided to steer the battery

into place.

If the battery drawer does not close easily, the bat-

tery is incorrectly inserted.

When changing battery, it is a good idea to hold the

hearing aid over a table.

LOW BATTERY INDICATION

An acoustic indicator will sound when the battery is

nearly exhausted, unless this function has been disa-

bled (see page 8). Exactly how long the hearing aid

will function after the low battery indication varies

from one case to another. We recommend that you

always have a spare battery with you.

Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing aid.

Exhausted batteries may leak, damaging the hearing

aid.

IMPORTANT

Your hearing aid may stop functioning, for instance if the battery

is exhausted. You should be aware of this possibility, in particular

when you are in traffic or are otherwise dependent on warning

signals.

12 13

GENERAL

TURNING THE HEARING AID ON AND OFF

The battery drawer of the hearing aid also functions

as the on/off switch.

Close the battery drawer to turn on

the hearing aid. An acoustic indicator

will indicate that the hearing aid has

been switched on unless this function

has been disabled.

Open the battery drawer to turn off

the hearing aid.

Please remember to turn off the hear-

ing aid when it is not in use. Remove

the battery if the hearing aid will not

be used for several days.

VOLUME ADJUSTMENT

The hearing aid volume is adjusted automatically in

accordance with your sound environment.

Ordinarily, you cannot fine tune the volume in your

hearing aid. However, if you have a remote control,

the option of fine tuning becomes available.

Any volume adjustment via the remote control will

affect both hearing aids.

For any adjustment of the steps in which volume in-

creases or decreases, consult your hearing care pro-

fessional.

If you have a remote control, please also refer to the

user instructions for this.

IMPORTANT

If the volume in the hearing aid is generally too loud or too weak,

or the reproduced sounds are distorted, or if you would like any

further information, consult your hearing care professional.

14 15

GENERAL

LOST PARTNER ALARM

(Note: Only applicable if this feature has been acti-

vated by your hearing care professional).

If one of your hearing aids falls off your ear, and/or

the battery is exhausted, a tone signal and a spoken

message will sound two times in the other hearing

aid, and a diode will flash on both hearing aids.

When the lost hearing aid is repositioned, and/or the

battery is exchanged, the diodes stop flashing.

LISTENING PROGRAMS

By default, your hearing aid has one listening pro-

gram (Master).

If you have a remote control, five of the following

programs, including Master, can be made available,

plus the special Zen program called Zen+. Please also

refer to the user instructions for your remote control.

Master Standard

Music For listening to music

TV For listening to the TV

Comfort Attenuates background noise

Reverse focus Focus on sounds from behind

Audibility Extender Makes high-frequency sounds

Zen+ Special Zen program with up to

three different Zen styles.

Accessed via a long press (two

sec.) on the remote control

program toggle key

16 17

GENERAL

If your needs change over time, the combination of

listening programs can be altered.

The Zen program may be used with amplification so

that both the surrounding sounds and the Zen tones

are heard together. Or, it may be used alone (without

amplification) in quiet when you are not required to

hear surrounding sounds.

The duration of the Zen play time can be set by your

hearing care professional according to your needs.

IMPORTANT

Use of the different Zen programs may interfere with hearing sur-

rounding sounds including speech. The programs should not be

used when hearing such sounds is important. Switch the hearing

aid to a non-Zen program in those situations.

SWITCHING BETWEEN THE LISTENING PROGRAMS

Each time you change program via a remote control,

an acoustic indicator will sound unless this function

has been disabled.

HEARING AID WITH A CLOSED OR OPEN EAR-TIP

USING A TELEPHONE

When using a telephone, we

recommend that you hold the

telephone against your head

at an angle above your ear,

rather than directly against the

ear. If the sound is not optimal,

try moving the telephone ear-

piece to a slightly different po-

sition.
