Inserting the battery: X If the battery has a protective film, remove it only when you are ready to use the battery. X Insert the battery with the "+" symbol facing up (refer to the picture). X Carefully close the battery compartment. If you feel resistance, the battery is not inserted correctly.

After many recharging cycles, the battery lifetime may reduce. In this case, replace the rechargeable battery with a new one. To do so, follow the instructions for replacing batteries. 14 18.01.

Signia Pure primax EN.indd 17 Inserting and removing the hearing instruments 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 Inserting a hearing instrument: X Hold the receiver cable at the bend closer to the ear piece. X Carefully push the ear piece in the ear canal ➊. X Twist it slightly until it sits well. Open and close your mouth to avoid accumulation of air in the ear canal.
Signia Pure primax EN.indd 18 ● ● It may be helpful to 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 retention strand helps to securely retain the ear piece in your ear.
Signia Pure primax EN.indd 19 Removing a hearing instrument: X Lift the hearing instrument and slide it over the top of your ear ➊. X If your hearing instrument is equipped with a custom shell or a Click Mold, remove it by pulling the small removal cord toward the back of your head. X For all other ear pieces: Grip the receiver in the ear canal with two fingers and pull it carefully out ➋. Do not pull the receiver cable.
Signia Pure primax EN.indd 20 Adjusting the volume Your hearing instruments automatically adjust the volume to the listening situation. X If you prefer manual volume adjustment, press the push button or the rocker switch briefly, or use a remote control. Refer to section "Controls" for the settings of your controls.

Signia Pure primax EN.indd 21 Changing the hearing program Depending on the listening situation, your hearing instruments automatically adjust their sound.

Signia Pure primax EN.indd 22 Special listening situations Setting the focus (optional) If you want to focus more directly on your conversation partner in front of you, or if you want to listen to the broader environment – the spatial configurator gives you control over your listening preference. You can select different levels – from "focus to frontal position" (left picture) to "middle position" (center picture) to "hear all around" (right picture).
Signia Pure primax EN.indd 23 Setting the focus manually: X If you have several hearing programs, change to hearing program 1. X Press the rocker switch that is set for this function. The mid level is active by default. X Press the upper rocker switch to focus more to the front, or the lower rocker switch to listen to the broader environment. This function is intended for unique and temporary listening situations.
Signia Pure primax EN.indd 24 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. X Switch to the telephone program whenever you are on the phone or use the automatic program switch.
Signia Pure primax EN.indd 25 Automatic program switch (AutoPhone or TwinPhone) Your hearing instrument can automatically select the telephone program when you bring the telephone handset close to the hearing instrument. TwinPhone even transmits the call into both ears. When you are finished speaking on the phone, move the handset away from the hearing instrument and microphone mode will re-engage.
Signia Pure primax EN.indd 26 Audio induction loops Some telephones and 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.
Signia Pure primax EN.indd 27 Maintenance and care To prevent damage it is important that you take care of your hearing instruments and follow a few basic rules, which will soon become a part of your daily routine. Hearing instruments Drying and storage X Dry your hearing instruments overnight. X Ask your Hearing Care Professional for recommended drying products.
Signia Pure primax EN.indd 28 X Ask your Hearing Care Professional for recommended cleaning products, special care sets, or more information on how to keep your hearing instruments in good condition. Ear pieces Cleaning Cerumen (ear wax) may accumulate on the ear pieces. This may affect sound quality. Clean the ear pieces daily. For all types of ear pieces: X Clean the ear piece right after removal with a soft and dry tissue. This prevents that cerumen becomes dry and hard.
Signia Pure primax EN.indd 29 Exchanging Exchange standard ear pieces approximately every three months. Replace them sooner if you notice cracks or other changes. The procedure for exchanging standard ear pieces depends on the type of ear piece. In section "Components and names", your Hearing Care Professional has marked your type of ear piece.
Signia Pure primax EN.indd 30 Professional maintenance Your Hearing Care Professional can perform a thorough professional cleaning and maintenance. Custom-made ear pieces and wax filters should be exchanged as needed by a professional. Ask you Hearing Care Professional for your individual recommendation of maintenance intervals and for support. 30 18.01.
