On/Off function
Your hearing aid is equipped with an on/off switch inte-
grated into the battery compartment.
When the battery compartment is fully closed, the in-
strument is turn-ed on. To turn the instrument off, grasp
the battery compartment door with your fingernail and
gently pull downwards. The power will switch off at the
point where you can feel a small click. Whenever you
are not wearing the instrument, remember to turn it off
to reduce battery consumption.
Delayed Activation
Your hearing care professional may have activated the Delayed Activation function in your hearing instru-
ment. The Delayed Activation delays the switch-on time 10 seconds after closing the battery compartment.
This is indicated by beeps at one second intervals after closing the battery compartment, which means that
you could hear 10 beeps before the hearing aid is activated.
If you wish, it can be deactivated by your hearing care professional.

Low battery indication
Your hearing care professional can set your hearing instrument to give an acous-
tical indication when the battery is reaching its end of life. The hearing instru-
ment will reduce amplification and emit a melody if battery power gets too low.
This signal will recur every five minutes until the hearing instrument automatically
switches off. It is recommended that you keep spare batteries on hand.
Low battery indicator (when paired with Direct Line accessories)
Active usage of Beltone Direct Line accessories (for example: Remote Control, TV Link, and Phone Link)
requires more battery power from the hearing instrument than when these are working on their own. When
the battery in the hearing instrument has depleted to a level at which use of the TV Link, and Phone Link or
Personal Audio Link cannot be supported, the hearing instrument will play two sets of descending tones.
At some point the battery level will not support the remote control either and you will once again hear the
descending tones. The hearing instrument will continue to work as usual. Once a new battery is inserted,
full operation of the wireless accessories will resume.
Replacing the battery
Open the battery compartment completely by using your fingernail. After removing the old battery (if pre-
sent), insert the new one with the positive (+) side in the correct position. Please make sure that you have
the correct size battery for your hearing instrument. Gently close the battery door. Do not force it closed. If
door does not close easily, remove battery and try again.
