Turning your Hearing Instruments On and Off Your hearing instruments have a three-position battery door that acts as an off/on switch and that allows access to the battery compartment.

Your hearing healthcare provider can additionally increase the start up delay if required. OFF: To turn the hearing instrument off, partially open the battery door.
Battery Information To replace the hearing instrument battery, fully open the battery door for access to the battery compartment. Low Battery Warning When you hear two long beeps, your hearing instruments are warning you that their batteries are low. You will hear the warning approximately every 30 minutes until you change the batteries or the batteries die. After the first warning, you may experience some reduction in sound quality.
3. Insert the new battery into the battery compartment matching it with the battery symbol inside the battery door. This will ensure that the battery door closes properly. Note: If the battery is inserted incorrectly, the hearing instrument will not turn on. 4. Close the battery door. Caring for Batteries • Always discard batteries in a safe and environmentally friendly way. • To prolong battery life, remember to turn your hearing devices off when not in use.
Operating Instructions Push Button Your hearing instrument is equipped with a push button, built into the back of the battery door, which has been set for switching between programs or adjusting your volume.

Caring for your Hearing Instruments • Open the battery door when not in use. • Always remove your hearing instruments when using hair care products. The hearing instruments can become clogged and cease to function properly. • Do not wear your hearing devices in the bath or shower or immerse them in water. • If your hearing instruments do become wet, do not attempt to dry them in an oven or microwave. Do not adjust any controls.
Cleaning your Hearing Instruments Ear wax is natural and common. Ensuring your hearing devices, earmolds and domes are free of ear wax is an important step in your daily cleaning and maintenance routine. • Never use alcohol to clean your hearing devices, earmolds or domes. • Do not use sharp tools to dislodge ear wax. Sticking household items into your hearing devices or earmolds can seriously damage them.
Wash only the earmolds in warm water with a mild soap. Rinse them with cool water and allow them to dry overnight. Make sure the earmold tubes are dry before reconnecting them to each hook on your hearing devices. Latitude™ Hearing Instruments with Slim Tubes and Domes You should have the slim tubes and domes replaced by your hearing healthcare professional approximately every three to six months or when they become stiff or brittle. Clean the domes daily with a damp cloth.
5. Using the black cleaning pin provided in the kit, gently insert the cleaning pin where the slim tube attaches to the hearing instrument and push the pin all the way through the tube. Note: The slim tubes and domes should never be rinsed or submerged in water as water drops may become lodged in the tube, block sound or damage the electrical components of the hearing instrument. 6. Once the slim tube has been cleaned, reattach it by gently turning the hearing instrument onto the slim tube.
Signature Features of your Latitude™ Hearing Instruments SmartFocus™ (available exclusively with Latitude 16) With a Latitude 16 hearing instrument, you can adjust the focus on hearing speech or background noise in your listening environment via the smartFocus control.

Warnings • Hearing devices should only be used as directed by your physician or hearing healthcare professional. • Hearing devices will not restore normal hearing and will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment resulting from organic conditions. • Do not use your hearing devices in explosion hazard areas. • Allergic reactions to hearing devices are unlikely.
Magnet Warnings • Be sure the magnet is securely affixed to the telephone. • Keep loose magnets out of reach of children and pets. • If the magnet falls into your ear, contact your hearing healthcare professional. • If the magnet is swallowed, contact your physician immediately. • The magnet may affect some medical devices or electronic systems.
Warning to hearing healthcare professional: • Domes should never be fitted on patients with perforated eardrums, exposed middle ear cavities, or surgically altered ear canals.
