SmartStart™
SmartStart™ allows you to insert the instrument in the ear
without annoying sounds like squealing. It delays the
switch-on time ten seconds after closing the battery
compartment, and is indicated by a beep every second after
closing the battery compartment.
Volume Control (optional)
Your instrument might be equipped with a volume control.
With the volume control you can turn the volume up and
down. When wearing the instrument, you can increase the
volume by turning the volume control wheel toward the
front of the head and reduce volume by turning it toward
the back of the head.
For each volume step, you will hear a "beep" signal indicat-
ing the change. If you reach the upper or lower limit of the
volume control range, there will be a different type of
"beep" signal with a lower pitch.
Please note that your instrument has been fitted by your
hearing healthcare professional and that your hearing loss
has required a certain amount of amplifi-
cation. This means that you may not
be able to increase the volume as
much as you can decrease it.

Insertion of the Hearing Instrument
To insert the hearing instrument into your ear:
1. Grip the instrument with your thumb and forefinger
(as shown), either above and below or on the sides (as
shown) with the program selector on top.
2. Place the sound outlet portion into your ear canal.
3. Insert the hearing instrument carefully with a slight
"corkscrew" motion.
By experimenting, you may find a method that is easier
for you. When properly inserted, the instrument should fit
comfortably and tightly in your ear. It is important that the
custom shell fits correctly into your ear. If your hearing
instrument irritates your ear in any way and prevents you
from wearing your hearing instrument, please contact your
hearing healthcare professional to have the custom shell
modified. You should never attempt to modify the shape of
the custom shell yourself.
