activating the hearing instrument for the first time

A hearing instrument is a miniature electronic device that runs on special batteries.
To activate the hearing instrument, you must insert a fresh battery in the battery
compartment.
The hearing instrument will start up when the battery door is closed. It will take a few
seconds until sound is produced. A jingle is played while the start up process is running.
Put on the hearing instruments upon closing the battery door. If the hearing instrument
is held in the hand while activated, it may produce a whistling sound. This will stop when
properly fitted in the ear.

The correct battery size appears in the instrument overview in the first section of this
document. Batteries perform differently. Ask your hearing care professional for help
choosing a high quality battery for your hearing instrument.
A worn out battery should be removed immediately and disposed according to local
regulations.
You will hear 2 beeps when it is time to change the battery. This
pre-warning will be repeated in moderate intervals until the
battery runs out. The battery may run out shortly after a
pre-warning or within the next couple of hours depending on
battery capabilities and individual hearing losses.
If the battery runs out the instrument turns off. When that
happens, 4 beeps are played to indicate that the instrument
is no longer operating.
Replace the battery.
