Removal of the Hearing Instrument
To remove the hearing instrument:
1. Gently massage behind your earlobe with an upward
and downward motion to dislodge the instrument.
2. Place your thumb on the bottom and forefinger on the
top of the instrument, and carefully remove the instru-
ment out of your ear canal with a slight "corkscrew"
motion.
By experimenting, you may find a method that is easier for
you. Consult your hearing healthcare professional if you
have difficulty removing the hearing instrument.
Low Battery Warning
When the battery voltage/power decreases to a low level,
the instrument will inform you by a soft low battery warn-
ing signal (beep-beep). The signal indicates you should
replace the battery, and so we recommend that you always
have a spare battery available.
The battery warning signal will be repeated every 5–10 min-
utes until the battery runs out of power. The instrument will
then automatically switch off.
Changing the Battery
The batteries for the hearing instrument
are quite small, which may cause difficul-
ty in seeing the battery and battery door
markings. A magnifying glass and
good lighting may be helpful.
Open the battery compart-
ment completely using your
fingernail, as described earlier. After remov-
ing the old battery, insert the new one with the "+" (flat)
10
"+"

side facing the "+" on the battery door. It should fit in like
a puzzle piece. The battery door should close very easily.
Never use force to close the door as this may damage your
hearing instrument.
Always use a size 312 or 10A zinc-air battery, whichever is
correct for your instrument. Please note that if the battery is
weak, the hearing instrument performance will be reduced.
Removing the battery when you are not wearing the instru-
ment will help prevent corrosion of the battery contacts and
reduce battery consumption.
