The low battery detection system continuously
monitors battery life. When the battery
becomes low, the low battery warning
sequence consisting of 3 double beeps is
initiated. After the warning beeps are
complete, normal operation resumes. The low
battery warning sequence will repeat again 10
minutes after the initial warning; it’s now time
to insert a new battery. Hearing aid batteries
are most easily purchased from your hearing
healthcare provider.
Battery Type and Proper Storage:
Your hearing instrument may use a size 312
battery (brown tab) or a size 10 (yellow tab),
please check the back of this manual for the
correct size for your model. A zinc air battery
is recommended for optimal performance.
Batteries should NOT be stored in a refrigerator
or dehumidifying device. Such storage could
cause leakage and damage the batteries.
Important: Always discard used batteries.
Small batteries can be harmful if swallowed.
Keep batteries out of the reach of pets and
small children. In case of ingestion, contact
your physician or call the National Button
Battery Hotline collect at (202) 625-3333.

If you are wearing hearing instruments on
both ears, it is important to use the correct
device in each ear. The receiver modules are
marked with “red” lettering for the Right ear
and “blue” lettering for the Left ear.
To turn your hearing instrument “on”, you
simply need to close the battery door after
inserting a battery. (Insert illustration
showing the battery door open with arrows
and captions explaining the battery
compartment)
To turn your hearing instrument “off ”,
simply open the battery door completely.
When the hearing instrument is not in use, it
is recommended that you open the battery
door and remove the battery. This helps to
prevent excessive battery drain and allows for
proper ventilation of the hearing instrument.
