seconds until sound is produced. A jingle is played while the start up process is running.

If the hearing instrument is held in the hand while activated, it may produce a whistling
sound. This will stop when properly fitted on the ear.

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.

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.
