Page 14: Low Battery Indicator
Low battery indicator Your hearing care professional can set your hearing instrument to give an acoustical indica- tion when the battery is reaching its end of life. The hearing instrument will reduce amplifica- tion and emit a melody if battery power gets too low. This signal will recur every 5 minutes for VE60/62/70/77/80/88 models, and every 15 minutes for MG90, until the hearing instrument automatically switches off. - Page 15 By experimenting, an easier method may be discovered. With proper insertion, hearing instru- ments should fit snugly but comfortably. If hearing instruments cause irritation of the ears, con- tact your hearing care professional. Never attempt to modify the shape of the hearing instru- ment, earmoulds, or tubing yourself.
