Follow these steps to enter and leave flight mode:
For Beltone True Hearing Instruments
It is possible to disable wireless operation by opening and closing the battery compartment of the hearing
instrument while at the same time pressing the program button.
When disabled manually, wireless operation may be re-enabled by opening and closing the battery com-
partment normally (i.e. without pressing the program button). 10 seconds after this operation is completed,
wireless operation will begin again.

Daily maintenance
Keep your hearing instrument clean and dry. Wipe the case with a soft cloth or tissue after use to remove
grease or moisture. You should avoid exposing your instrument directly to moisture such as rain or water
from the shower. If your instrument does get wet or if it has been exposed to high humidity or perspiration, it
should be left to dry out overnight with the battery out and the battery compartment open. It is also a good
idea to put them in a sealed container together with a drying agent (dessicator) overnight. Consult your
hearing care professional as to which drying agent to use.
Your hearing instrument is protected by a protective, hydrophobic nanocoat material: HPF
80
NanoBlock. It
will improve the durability of you hearing instrument by repelling moisture and debris. However, to avoid the
need for unwarranted repairs:
•
Never immerse the instrument in water or other liquids since this may cause permanent damage to the
circuitry.
•
Protect your hearing instrument from rough handling, and avoid dropping it on hard surfaces or floors.
•
Do not leave the instrument in or near direct heat or sunlight since excessive heat can damage the in-
strument or deform the casing or the receiver tube.
•
Remove your hearing instrument when applying such things as cosmetics, perfume, aftershave, hair
spray, and suntan lotion. These might get into the instrument and cause damage.
