Storage
●
Short-term storage (up to several days): Turn off your
hearing instruments via the push button or place them
in the powered charger.
The charger must be connected to the power supply.
If the charger is not connected to power supply and
you place your hearing instruments in the charger, the
hearing instruments are not turned off.
Note that when you turn off the hearing instruments
via a remote control or smartphone app, the hearing
instruments are not turned off completely. They are in
standby-mode and still draw some power.
●
Long-term storage (weeks, months, ...): First, fully
charge your hearing instruments. Turn them off via
the push button before storing them. We recommend
using drying products while storing the hearing
instruments.
At 6 month intervals you will have to charge the
hearing instruments to avoid an unrecoverable
deep-discharge of the power cell. Deep-discharged
power cells cannot be charged anymore and they
have to be replaced. We recommend recharging more
frequently than 6 month intervals.
Observe the storage conditions in section
"Operating, transport and storage conditions".
Ear pieces and tubes
Cerumen (ear wax) may accumulate on the ear pieces.
This may affect sound quality.
●
For hearing instruments with a standard tube
(ThinTube):
Clean the ear pieces daily, clean the tubes as required.
Exchange the ear pieces and tubes approximately
every three to six months, or sooner if you notice
cracks or other changes.
●
For hearing instruments with earhook:
Clean the ear pieces daily.
Ask your Hearing Care Professional to clean the tubes
or to exchange the ear pieces and tubes as needed.
Cleaning ear pieces
X
Clean the
ear piece upon
removal with
a soft and dry
tissue.
This prevents
cerumen
becoming dry
and hardening.
X
Never use running water or immerse the ear piece in
water.
