Low Battery Warning The hearing instrument has a soft low-battery-warning signal (beep-beep) that you will hear when the battery voltage/power gets too low. The signal indicates you should replace the battery. We recommend that you always carry a spare battery with you. The battery-warning signal will be repeated every 5-10 minutes until the battery runs out of power. The instrument will then automatically turn off.

Grip the instrument with your thumb and forefinger, either above, below or on the sides of the hearing instrument (as shown).

Recognising left and right instrument Volume Control Your hearing instrument is custom-made to fit your ear. Therefore, right and left instruments differ in shape. Certain ITE or ITC models are equipped with a volume control that allows you to set and control the volume manually.This option is not available for CIC instruments.

This enables you to have up to three listening programmes, each of them suitable for different situations. The number of programmes available will vary depending on the model.

Using the telephone with induction loop. Hearing through an induction loop • Switch your instrument to the telecoil programme. Many public places, churches, theatres and cinemas, have induction loop systems. In these particular rooms, the induction loops transmit, wirelessly, the sound of the presenter or show. At home, radio or television can be connected to an induction loop system. Sound quality through an induction loop is often better because noise from the environment is not amplified.
Daily Maintenance Keep your hearing instrument clean and dry. Wipe the case with a soft cloth/brush or tissue after use to remove oil or moisture. If the instrument has been exposed to high humidity or perspiration, enclose it in a sealed container together with a drying agent (desiccant) overnight. Consult with your hearing care professional regarding which drying agent to use.
