Selecting Earpiece
Remove the tube from the earhook. Insert the
earpiece into your ear. If this earpiece does
not fit your ear, replace it with other one.
Earmold
The earmold is made just for your own ear,
so that it can completely fit your ear.
If the earpiece does not fit your ear and
whistling occurs, use of the earmold is
recommended. Consult your local dispenser.
Battery Placement
1. Seal off the sticker on the positive side of battery (PR-44P
or 675AP zinc-air battery) before loading. The battery
operates normally in about 1 minute after the sealing is
removed.
2. Open the battery door.
3. Insert a PR-44P or 675AP battery into the battery
compartment with correct polarity; the plus mark on the
battery must be matching.
4. Close the battery door tightly.
HOW TO USE YOUR FIRST HEARING AID
z
Any hearing aid cannot return level of your hearing to normal
or halt further hearing deterioration, but proper use of your
hearing aid can help you hear what is going on around you
and let you get more enjoyment of life.
z
If this is your first hearing aid, you - like most new users - will
probably be surprised at the loudness of the sounds, and after
using it for a short while, you may even feel that it is too noisy.
The following three tips are important in overcoming your
concerns.
1) Read this manual and become familiar with the hearing aid's
various mechanisms and how to use them correctly.
2) First, use your hearing aid in a quiet place and listen to quiet
sounds and give yourself sufficient time to get accustomed
to the sound of your hearing aid.
3) If any physical problems develop, consult your doctor.
FOR KEEPING YOUR HEARING AID LONGER
z
Always keep the hearing aid clean. Clean the hearing aid
with dry cloth periodically and also remove earwax plugged
in the earpiece or earmold using eyebrush or toothbrush.
z
Do not expose the hearing aid to the heat from stoves, etc.
Also, avoid leaving it in places with high humidity.
z
Operate the controls with care. Do not press hard.
z
If the hearing aid is dropped in water, wipe with dry cloth
and ask the dispenser for check.
z
Do not pick the microphone with nail, pin, etc., because this
may damage the microphone.
z
Do not disassemble or attempt any repairs by yourself. Ask
the dispenser for repair.
