Battery Warnings and General Information
Battery life depends on a number of factors, including how loud the hearing aid is set to
during use, how loud the environments are, and the number of hours the hearing aid is
worn.
Do not use batteries on which there is a sticky residue from the tab. Also, do not use
any battery that is oxidizing or rusting as this can potentially damage the hearing device.
Please note the expiry date on the battery pack stating how long the batteries will be
good for. DO NOT remove the adhesive tabs on the individual batteries until just before
they are used. Removing this tab will allow the battery to activate and the battery life will
immediately start draining. Always operate your hearing aid with the same battery until
that battery is exhausted.
In rare cases, a new battery may be exhausted right out of a new package. If your
hearing aid does not work after you have inserted a new battery, try inserting another
one.
Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing aid. They may leak and cause damage
to the device.
Turning the Hearing Aid On and Off
The battery door functions as the on and off switch. The hearing aid is turned on when
the door is closed with a battery inserted. It is turned off when the battery door is
opened. You can keep the battery in the door when the hearing aid is turned off.
TIP:
Open the battery door when the hearing aid is not in use in order to reduce battery
consumption. This will help to extend the life of the battery. Remove the battery
completely if the hearing aid will not be used again soon.
WARNING:
A hearing aid may whistle loud enough for people to hear if it’s not in your
ear with a battery inserted. Some people with hearing loss will not hear this whistle, but
others may.
