Description Protective case A special protective case is provided to securely store your Audéo YES instruments and batteries. Store your Audéo YES in their protective case when not in use and leave the battery compartment in the OFF position (as described on page 20) to allow any moisture to evaporate. Remove the batteries if you will not be using them for an extended period of time.
Preparation Replacing the battery Using the nail grip, open the battery compartment completely and remove the old battery. Remove the protective foil from the new battery. Wait for two minutes before inserting it.
Preparation Insert the new battery with the “+” sign (flat side of the battery) in line with the correct battery orientation marked in the battery compartment and close it. Replacing the battery Handle the battery compartment with care and do not use excessive force. If there is any resistance when shutting 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 Audéo YES 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. Usually you have at least 30 minutes to replace the battery.
Preparation Identifying left and right Audéo YES It is important to use the correct Audéo YES for each ear. Your hearing care professional can mark them for you with a color code placed in the battery compartment. The color code is visible when the battery compartment is opened.
Inserting Audéo YES with xReceiver and dome into your ear Open domes 햲 Place the Audéo YES over the top of your ear 햲.
Preparation 햳 Hold the xReceiver where it attaches to the dome 햳 and gently push the dome into your ear canal. 햴 The dome should be placed far enough into the ear so that the wire of the xReceiver lies flush with your head 햴.
Closed domes The closed dome consists of two fins overlapping each other. Before inserting the closed dome into the ear canal, it is important to check the position of these fins. The bigger fin must be positioned over the smaller fin, see picture 햲. If the position is incorrect 햳, you can easily adjust it. With one finger, just bend smoothly the bigger fin forwards and then back again so that it is overlapping the smaller one, see picture 햴.

Inserting Audéo YES with Shell Using the hand on the same side you wear your hearing system, grasp the shell between your thumb and index finger. 햲 Raise your hand to your ear making sure the canal end of the shell faces your ear. Tilt your hand slightly forward 햲.
Preparation Insert the canal end of the shell into your ear canal. Tug gently on your ear lobe and push the hearing system into the correct position 햳.
Now position the hearing system behind your ear. Be careful not to twist the tubing 햴. 햴 Check the placement of the shell by tracing the contour of the ear with your finger.
Operation Switching On/Off Switching Off Using the nail grip, slightly open the battery cover until it snaps into its OFF position. Switching On Close the battery compartment by pressing on the base of the instrument.
Please be aware of that your hearing instrument takes several seconds to boot up. Your hearing care professional may have activated a further delayed activation timer. This function delays the activation of the hearing system (for 9 or 15 seconds) after the battery door is closed in order to avoid any disturbance while placing it on your ear. An acoustic signal confirms when your hearing system is switched on.
myPilot (optional) The myPilot command center is an optional accessory for Audéo YES hearing systems. It allows a convenient, user-friendly and discreet control of all the functions of your hearing system and additional benefits.
For optimum results, position your myPilot as shown in the drawing. Operating range max. 50 cm (20”) Do not use your myPilot in locations where it is forbidden to use electronic devices. ZoomControl This special hearing program allows you to choose from four directions in which to focus your hearing system (front, back, left or right). ZoomControl can be accessed via the myPilot command center only.
myPilot (optional) Fine tuning based on your personal preferences The fitting process has limited capabilities of reproducing the full spectrum of your personal sound environments. This limitation is overcome by the ability of the Audéo YES hearing system to learn from your real life volume adjustments. When used with a myPilot, Audéo YES offers a unique functionality called “Self Learning”. In every environment, it logs your personal volume changes within the hearing system.
iCom (optional) iCom is an optional accessory available for Audéo YES hearing systems. Automatically or with the push of a single button, iCom connects your hearing system with the technology around you. Bluetooth connections iCom offers a simple way to connect your mobile phone via Bluetooth to your hearing system. iCom is also capable of transmitting a stereo audio signal from any Bluetooth enabled device (built-in or via an adapter) such as MP3 players, laptops, computers or televisions.
iCom (optional) EasyAudio and EasyBluetooth Your Audéo YES hearing system contains two special audio programs: EasyAudio and EasyBluetooth. These programs are automatically selected in your hearing system when an audio or Bluetooth signal is received from iCom. EasyAudio and EasyBluetooth ensure that you have the optimum program activated for streaming. An acoustic signal in your Audéo YES hearing instruments confirms the switch to either Easy program.
Maintenance Microphone Protector Important: The Microphone Protector is an exclusive Phonak system designed to protect the Audéo YES hightech microphones from debris. The Microphone Protector can be replaced if needed. Your Audéo YES instruments should not be used without the Microphone Protector. Your hearing care professional can tell you whether the Microphone Protector should be exchanged or not.

Important points 1) Always use new batteries for your Audéo YES hearing system. You can return empty batteries to your hearing care professional. 2) When your hearing system is not in use, leave the battery compartment open to allow any moisture to evaporate. 3) If you will not be using your hearing system for a long period of time, store it in its protective case. Remove the batteries and leave the battery compartments open. Make sure your hearing system is completely dry before closing the case.
Maintenance 5) Daily cleaning and the use of a drying system is highly recommended. "C&C line" from Phonak is a complete set of cleansing products. Your hearing care professional will be glad to advise you. Never use household cleaning products (washing powder, soap, etc.) to clean your hearing system. 6) Hair spray, face creams and make-up can damage hearing systems. Remove the hearing system before applying cosmetics.
