locking the Battery Compartment

Your BTE has a tamper 
resistant, locking battery 
compartment . The lock switch 
is located on the bottom of 
the battery door . Locking 
the battery compartment 
is not necessary for normal 
operation . 

To lock the door, use an 
appropriate tool to slide the 
recessed switch to the left until 
it “clicks” and the colored 
mark is visible .

Battery Caution

Because batteries can vary in performance, your 
hearing professional is your best source for lifespan 
estimates and verification that you are using the 
proper size and type .

To help prevent the accidental ingestion of batteries, 
keep them out of the reach of children and pets . 

Always check your medication before ingesting – 
batteries have been mistaken for pills . 

Never put batteries in your mouth for any reason, as 
they can easily be unintentionally swallowed . 

Dispose of used batteries immediately, using 
the proper waste or recycling receptacle .
