Gently close the battery compartment door. Avoid forcing the
door shut. If it does not close easily, check to see if the battery
was inserted properly. Once the battery is in its proper position,
your instrument is ready to operate.
Your hearing instrument may be programmed to inform you when
the battery should be replaced.
Refer to the low battery indicator information in the Operation
section (page 27) of this manual for further information.
Battery tips
• If a battery is accidentally swallowed, seek medical attention
immediately, or call the National Battery Hotline collect at
[phone].
• Always use the recommended battery size for your hearing
instrument. The battery size information for your hearing
instrument is located on the feature card.
• Remove the battery from your instruments when not in use.
This prevents possible damage from expansion or leakage of the
battery, if the instruments are not fully turned off.
• Always carry spare batteries in the event that your current
battery goes dead. Place each spare battery in an individual,
non-metallic container to prevent contact with other batteries or
metal objects, such as keys or coins.
• Follow your local recycling rules for battery disposal
Turning the hearing instrument on or off
To turn the hearing instrument on, insert a battery into the
hearing instrument and completely close the door.
To turn the hearing instrument off, open the battery door.
Siemens hearing instruments may also be programmed to allow
you to turn them on and off using the program button. Refer to
the Operation section (page 24) for further information.
Inserting and removing
WARNING
Never pull on the battery compartment door to remove the
hearing instrument, as this could cause damage to your hearing
instrument.
Hold the instrument between your thumb and index finger. With
the face of the instrument toward the outside, place the canal
portion into your ear. Gently work the instrument into its proper
position by slightly twisting until it is firmly seated. Lightly press
inward for a secure and comfortable fit (Fig. 4).
