hearing care professional. Please note the expiry date
and the recommendations regarding disposal of used
batteries on the battery pack. To ensure proper battery
function, do not use batteries past the expiry date. Be-
cause they are Zinc Air type batteries, they need air to
work. Therefore, do not remove the adhesive tab until
just before inserting the battery in the hearing aid.
Once the tab has been removed, the battery will start
functioning after a few seconds. The battery life will
depend on a number of factors, such as the setting of
your hearing aid, how many hours you use it daily and
the listening environments in which you use it.
