Changing the BatteRY

The  batteries  for  the  hearing  instrument  are  quite 
small, which may cause difficulty in seeing the battery 
and battery door markings. A magnifying glass and 
good lighting may be helpful.

Open  the  battery  door  com-
pletely  by  lifting  the  tab  at  the 
edge  of  the  battery  door.  After 
removing  the  old  battery,  insert 

the  new  one  with  the  “+”  (flat) 

side facing the “+” on the battery 
door.

It should fit in like a puzzle piece. 
The  battery  door  should  close 
very  easily.  Never  use  force  to 
close the door as this may dam-
age your hearing instrument.

Always  use  the  correct  battery 
size.  (Refer  to  the  Quick  Refer-
ence insert to identify the correct 
battery  size  for  your  hearing 
instrument model.) 

Please  note  that 
a  weak  battery 
will  affect  the  per-
formance  of  your 
hearing instrument. 
Removing the battery when you are not 
wearing the instrument will help prevent 
corrosion  of  the  battery  contacts  and 
reduce battery consumption.

using assistive listening  
(tele-loop) sYstems

  

Many  gathering  places  are  equipped  with  assistive 
listening  (tele-loop)  systems,  for  example,  schools, 
theaters and houses of worship. To take advantage 
of  a  tele-loop  system,  select  the  telecoil  program. 
When  the  telecoil  program  has  been  selected,  you 
will be able to hear a clean sound signal via the tele-
loop system. If your are unable to hear the signal from 
the tele-loop while in the telecoil program, check to 
determine that the loop system is working properly. 

If  a  school,  theater  or  house  of  worship  does  not 
have a tele-loop system, try to sit as close as pos-
sible to the speaker and use one of the microphone 
programs.

loW BatteRY WaRning

A  low  battery  warning  is  automatically  triggered 
whenever  the  battery  voltage/power  drops  below  a 
critical level. When this happens, the hearing instru-
ment will emit soft beeps. These beeps will continue 
every five minutes until the instrument automatically 
switches off. The beeps can vary when using different 
battery brands. We recommend that you keep spare 
batteries on hand.
