was inserted properly. Once the battery is in its proper
position, your instrument is ready to operate.
Your hearing instrument may be programmed to inform you

Battery tips

• If a battery is accidentally swallowed, seek medical
attention immediately, or call the National Battery Hotline
collect at (202) 625-3333. Quebec residents, call le Centre
Antipoison at (800) 463-5060.
• Always use the recommended battery size for your
hearing instrument. The battery size information for
your hearing instrument is located on the feature card.
• Remove the battery from your instruments when not in use.
This prevents possible damage from expansion or leakage of
the battery, if the instruments are not fully turned off.
• Always carry spare batteries in the event that your current
battery goes dead. Place each spare battery in an individual,
non-metallic container to prevent contact with other
batteries or metal objects, such as keys or coins.
• Follow your local recycling rules for battery disposal.
