The system is powered by the switch on the back of the unit.
The operation of each function is explained later in this
manual. We recommend the system be turned off when not in
use for extended periods of time (especially overnight).
The function switch on the front panel is labeled to easily indicate
which feature is being used. The Drying Chamber and Vacuum
Wand cannot be used simultaneously. By turning on one of
these functions, the other will automatically be turned off.
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE
We recommend you follow the restoration steps listed below to
get the maximum benefit from the
U
.
Hearing Instrument Evaluation
- It is good practice to
examine the instrument for obvious defects and discuss with
your patient any concerns they have with the operation of the
aid. Counsel patient on what you will be doing to improve or
correct the problem. If possible, test the condition of the
battery and if it is weak or dead, replace it. If the aid is dead
(or damaged), have the patient acknowledge this before
proceeding.
Remove Visible Wax
- Using the cleaning tool kit provided
with the
U
, clean any large, visible accumulation of
cerumen from the instrument.
Drying Chamber
- Place it in the Drying chamber to displace
and evacuate moisture vapor from within the aid.
Vacuum Wand
- Use the Vacuum Wand to remove wax and
debris from the receiver tube, microphone inlet and battery
compartment. It is a good practice to do this even if you do
not see any debris. Many of the component failures in an aid
are caused by accumulation of micro-particles of debris.
Pressure Function
- Use this function to clear obstructed
vacuum needle tips and to blow debris from vent tracks and
battery compartments.
