Maintenance
Daily Maintenance
It is important to keep your hearing instrument clean and dry every
day. To clean the instrument, use a soft cloth. If the instrument has
been exposed to high humidity or perspiration, use a drying kit that
is available from your hearing care professional.
To avoid the need for repairs:
1. Never immerse the instrument in water or other liquids since this may
cause permanent damage to the hearing instrument
2. Protect your hearing instrument from rough handling, and avoid
dropping it on hard surfaces or floors
3. Do not leave the instrument in or near direct heat or sunlight since
excessive heat can damage the instrument or deform the casing
Low Battery Warning
Your hearing care professional can activate a Low Battery Warning
function in your hearing instruments. When the battery voltage/power
decreases to a certain level, the instrument will emit five soft beeping
signals. This sequence will continue every five minutes until the instru-
ment automatically switches off. It is recommended that you keep a
spare battery at hand.
Changing the Battery
1. Open the battery compartment completely by
using your fingernail
2. After removing the old battery, insert the new one
3. Always use Zinc-Air battery. Your hearing care pro-
fessional can tell you which size battery you need
It is important to insert the battery with the positive
side in the correct position. The battery door has a + marking to help
determine correct insertion.
When not in use
Removing the battery when you are not wearing the instrument for a
longer period will help prevent corrosion of the battery contacts.
