7.1.1 Delayed Activation
Delayed Activation delays the time before the hearing aids turn on after you close
the battery doors. With Delayed Activation, you will hear a beep (
etc.) for
each second of the delay period (5 or 10 seconds delay).
If you do not want to turn on the hearing aids prior to placing them on your ear, ask
your hearing care professional to deactivate Delayed Activation.

1. Open the battery door completely by using your fingernail. Remove the
used battery if present.

priate battery type/size for your hearing aid). Remove the protective foil to
activate the battery.
3. Wait for 2 minutes before inserting the battery into the hearing aid.

1. Always use new Zinc-Air batteries that have a minimum remaining shelf life of 1 year.
2. Whenever the hearing aids are not in use, remember to turn them off to avoid unnecessary battery
consumption.
3. At night, switch off the hearing aids and open the battery doors completely to allow moisture to
evaporate and prolong the hearing aids’ lifespans.

contact your hearing care professional for a list of low impedance batteries.
