How to Use the Hearing Instrument 

On/Off Function

1. When the battery compartment is fully closed, the instrument is turned 

on and programme 1 will be activated.

2. To turn the instrument off, open the battery compartment.   

Many individuals use their finger tips to pull it open.

3. The instrument is then switched off.
4. Whenever you are not using the instrument, remember to open  

the battery door to turn the hearing instrument off to stop battery 
consumption.

You can turn on your hearing instrument once you have placed it behind 
your ear and inserted the tube in your ear. If you prefer not to have the 
device ”on” while placing it behind your ear, your hearing care profes-
sional can activate a function (SmartStart) which will delay the instrument 
turning on. This function will prevent the hearing instrument from squeal-
ing while the tube or mould is being inserted in the ear. It delays the 
switch-on time by 10 seconds after closing the battery compartment.   
A beep each second is presented during this time.

Inserting the Instrument (with earmould)

1.  Hold the earmould between your thumb and 

index finger and position its sound outlet in 
your ear canal.

2.  Slide the earmould all the way into your ear 

with a gentle, twisting movement (insertion  
can be easier if you gently pull your ear up  
and back with your other hand).

3.  Turn the top-part of the earmould gently  

backwards and forwards so that it tucks  
behind the fold of skin above your ear canal.

4.  Place the hearing instrument behind your ear.
5.  Move the earmould up and down and press 

gently to ensure it is positioned correctly in  
the ear.

6.  When the earmould and hearing instrument are 

correctly positioned, and you have  
not already turned it on, switch on your  
instrument by closing the battery door.

Tip

Opening and closing your mouth can ease insertion.
