Welcome You have chosen a Siemens hearing instrument, a reliable partner to accompany you through everyday life. Like everything new, it will take you a little while to become familiar with it. This document, along with support from your Hearing Care Professional, will help you. You will quickly come to appreciate the advantages and greater quality of life your hearing instrument offers.
Your hearing instruments Getting to know your hearing instruments It is recommended to familiarize yourself with your new hearing instruments. With the instruments in your hand try using the controls and note their location on the instrument. This will make it easier for you to feel and press the controls while wearing the hearing instruments. If you have problems pressing the controls of your hearing instruments while wearing them, you can ask your Hearing Care Professional about a remote control option.

Batteries When the battery is low the sound becomes weaker or you will hear an alert signal. It depends on the battery type how long you have until you have to replace or recharge the battery. Replacing non-rechargeable batteries Remove empty batteries immediately and dispose of according to local regulations. Remember to have your replacement batteries with you at all times. Removing: u Open the battery compartment. u Lightly tap the instrument or use the magnet stick to remove the battery.
Inserting: u Remove the protective film from the new bat- tery. u Insert the battery with the "+" symbol facing up (refer to the picture). u Carefully close the battery compartment. If you feel resistance, the battery is not inserted correctly. Do not attempt to close the battery compartment by force. It can be damaged. Recharging rechargeable batteries Charge rechargeable batteries before first use. u To charge the batteries, follow the instructions in the charger’s user guide.
Daily use Turning on and off You have several options to turn your hearing instruments on or off. Via battery compartment: u Turning on: Close the battery compartment. The default volume and hearing program are set. u Turning off: Open the battery compartment. After charging: u Turning on: Take the instruments out of the charger. The previously used volume and hearing program are set. Via push button or rocker switch: u Turning on or off: Press the push button or the rocker switch.
Via remote control: u Follow the instructions in the remote control's user guide. After turning on, the previously used volume and hearing program are set. ■ When wearing the hearing instruments, an optional signal can indicate when an instrument is turned on or off. ■ Remove the batteries if the hearing instruments are not used for several days. When the power-on delay is activated, the hearing instruments turn on after a delay of several seconds.
Inserting Your hearing instruments have been fine-tuned for your right and left ear. Colored markers indicate the side: ■ red marker = right ear ■ blue marker = left ear To insert the hearing instrument: u Hold the tube at the bend. u Carefully push the ear piece in the ear canal. u Twist it slightly until it sits well. Open and close your mouth to avoid accumulation of air in the ear canal. u Lift the hearing instrument and slide it over the top of your ear.
■ Insert the right hearing instrument with the right hand and the left hearing instrument with the left hand. ■ If you have problems inserting the ear piece, use the other hand to gently pull your earlobe downwards. This opens the ear canal and eases insertion of the ear piece. The optional concha lock helps to securely retain the ear piece in your ear. To position the concha lock: u Bend the concha lock and position it carefully into the bowl of your ear (refer to the picture).
Removing u Lift the hearing instrument and slide it over the top of your ear. u Hold the tube and pull the ear piece carefully out. CAUTION Risk of injury! u In very rare cases the ear piece could remain in your ear when removing the hearing instrument. If this happens, have the ear piece removed by a medical professional. Clean and dry your hearing instruments after usage. Read more in section "Maintenance and care".
Adjusting the volume Your hearing instruments automatically adjust the volume to the listening situation. u If you prefer manual volume adjustment, press the push button or the rocker switch, or use a remote control. Refer to section "Controls" for your personal settings. An optional signal can indicate the volume change.
Changing the hearing program Hearing programs change the characteristics of the sound coming through the hearing instrument. They help you to select the optimal setup for every listening situation. An optional signal can indicate the change of the hearing program. u To change the hearing program, press the push button or the rocker switch, or use a remote control. Refer to section "Controls" and to section "Settings" for your personal settings and for a list of your hearing programs.
Further adjustments (optional) The controls of your hearing instruments can also be used to change, for example, the sound balance or the tinnitus noiser level. Sound balance allows you to adjust the bass and treble to your preferences. Refer to section "Controls" for your personal settings. Locking the controls To prevent any accidental operation you can lock the controls. When the controls are locked, both push button and rocker switch are disabled.
Using two hearing instruments Very rarely does hearing loss occur in only one ear, therefore the use of two instruments ensures that you are improving your hearing in all situations allowing you to better participate in your daily life. When controlling two instruments you have the following options to, for example, change the hearing program: ■ You can control each hearing instrument separately. ■ You can control both hearing instruments simultane- ously.
On the phone When you are on the phone, hold the telephone receiver slightly above your ear. The hearing instrument and telephone receiver have to be aligned. Turn the receiver slightly so that the ear is not completely covered. Telephone program You may prefer a certain volume when using the phone. Ask your Hearing Care Professional to configure a telephone program. u Switch to the telephone program whenever you are on the phone or use the automatic program switch.
Automatic program switch (AutoPhone) Your hearing instrument can automatically select the telephone program when you hold the telephone receiver close to the ear. When you end the phone call, the previously used program is activated. If you want to use this function, ask your Hearing Care Professional to do the following: ■ Activate the AutoPhone function. ■ Check the telephone receiver’s magnetic field.
NOTICE Magnets can disturb electrical devices and delete stored data. u Keep magnets away from computers, moni- tors, television sets, storage media and other electronic equipment/devices. WARNING Risk of affecting life support systems! u Use a magnet only when it is a safe distance away from life support systems, such as pacemakers or magnetic valves. For example, the safe distance between pacemaker and magnet should be at least 10 cm (4 inches).
Audio induction loops Many telephones as well as public places like theatres offer the audio signal (music and speech) via an audio induction loop. With this system, your hearing instruments can directly receive the desired signal – without distracting noise in the environment. You can usually recognize audio induction loop systems by certain signs. Ask your Hearing Care Professional to configure a telecoil program. u Switch to the telecoil program whenever you are in a place with an audio induction loop.
Maintenance and care Siemens hearing instruments are so robust that they will function reliably for years. It is, however, important that you take care of your instruments and observe a few basic rules, which will soon become habit. Cleaning For hygiene reasons and to maintain functionality, clean your hearing instruments daily. NOTICE u Do not put the hearing instruments in water. Do not put LifeTubes or LifeTips in water. u Clean your hearing instruments with a soft, dry tissue.
Cleaning the LifeTubes If your hearing instruments are equipped with LifeTubes, you can remove cerumen from the tubes using a special cleaning wire. Ask your Hearing Care Professional for suitable cleaning wires. u Screw off the tube. u Carefully insert the clean- ing wire into the tube. Start from the side opposite to the ear piece adapter. u Push the cleaning wire all the way through the tube. u Wipe away any cerumen or debris that is dislodged from the tube.
Drying u Dry your hearing instruments overnight. u Ask your Hearing Care Professional for recommended drying products. Storage u During longer periods of non-use, store your hearing instruments with open battery compartment (and batteries removed) in a drying system in order to prevent the penetration of moisture.
Troubleshooting Problem Possible solution Sound is weak. Increase the volume. Replace or recharge the empty battery (depending on the battery type). Clean or exchange the tube and the ear piece. Hearing instrument emits whistling sounds. Reinsert the ear piece until it fits securely. Decrease the volume. Clean or exchange the ear piece. Sound is distorted. Decrease the volume. Replace or recharge the empty battery (depending on the battery type). Clean or exchange the tube and the ear piece.
