How to Use the Hearing Instrument On/Off Function 1. When the battery compartment is fully closed, the instrument is turned on and programme 1 will be activated. 2. To turn the instrument off, open the battery compartment. Many individuals use their finger tips to pull it open. 3.
Inserting the Instrument (with dome) 1. Place the hearing instrument behind the ear. 2. Hold the tube where it bends and gently push the dome into your ear canal (the dome should be placed far enough into the ear that the tube lies flush with your head). 3.
Volume Control (optional) When using the instrument you can increase the volume by turning the volume control up, and /or reduce the volume by turning it down. For each volume step, you will hear a “beep” signal indicating the change. The loudness of the “beeps” will increase as you turn the volume up and decrease as you turn it down.
Stand-by Function In stand-by mode, the hearing instrument will not process sound or deliver an acoustic signal to the ear. When in this mode, a small amount of power will be used. To put the instrument in stand-by mode, hold down the programme selector for 5 seconds. You will hear a series of “beeps”...
