Introduction; Preparation For Use; Operating Your Zephyr - Dry & Store Zephyr Operating Instructions Manual

Introduction

Used daily, Zephyr removes damaging moisture accumulation, dries earwax and removes
odors. Zephyr can make hearing instruments sound better, and it can extend zinc-air battery
life in high humidity locations.

Preparation for Use

1. Activate the desiccant: A disposable Dry-Brik
replaced every two months, is included. The Dry-Brik performs
two important functions: (1) to permanently remove the moisture
molecules that are released from the devices during the drying cycle,
and (2) to drive the relative humidity inside the box to a much lower
level than is possible with just a heater, thus maximizing the drying
capability.
To activate the Dry-Brik, remove the foil cover (Figure 1). Do not
remove the foil until you are ready to use the Dry-Brik, because
once it is removed the Dry-Brik will begin adsorbing moisture.
2. Record the activation date: To alert you when it is time for
replacement, a card is attached to each Dry-Brik. Write the date that
the Dry-Brik was placed in service on this card (Figure 2).
3. Place the activated Dry-Brik in Zephyr (Figure 3).
4. Connect the AC adapter: Plug the AC adapter into an electrical
outlet, then fit the small circular plug into the rear of the unit.
NOTE: Instructions for the optional rechargeable metal canister desiccant can be found on
page 18.
