The receiver tube
The receiver tube contains the wiring to the receiver which delivers the sound to the ear canal. It is important
that the receiver tube and the receiver dome/RIE mold fits correctly in your ear. If the receiver tube or the
receiver dome/RIE mould irritates your ear in any way and prevents you from wearing your hear ing instru-
ment, please contact your hearing care pro fessional. You should never attempt to modify the shape of the
receiver tube yourself. The receiver tube and the receiver dome/RIE mould should be cleaned regularly.
Please see instructions in the next section.

Cleaning the receiver tubes and domes
The receiver tube and the receiver dome should be cleaned regularly. Use a damp cloth to clean the re-
ceiver tube and receiver dome on the outside. Do not use water when you are cleaning the receiver tubes
or the receiver domes. This process is also used to clean the UP receiver mould. Please see instruction on
page 29 for how to change the wax guard filter.

Cleaning RIE or moulds (does not apply for UP moulds)
1. Separate the mould from the receiver tube.
2. Clean the RIE mould using a mild soap, and rinse with lukewarm
water.
3. After cleaning, dry RIE moulds thoroughly and remove any residual
water and debris utilising an air bulb.
Changing wax guard for receiver tube
For changing Cerustop (white) wax filters, the following steps are needed:
1. To remove the old wax guard, insert the removal side of the wax guard tool into the used wax guard so
that the shaft of the tool is touching the rim of the wax guard. Slowly pull the wax guard straight out.
2. To insert the new wax guard, gently press the replacement side of the wax guard tool straight into the
hole of the sound outlet until the outer ring lies flush with the outside of the receiver. Pull the tool straight
out -the new wax guard will remain in place.
