USING YOUR BTE HEARING INSTRUMENTS
INSERTING THE BATTERY
Before using your hearing instrument, place the battery into the battery
compartment door. Using the fingernail of either your thumb or index
finger, pull the tab on the door outward until it swings open all the way.
Place the proper size battery (see “Battery” section or consult your hearing
health professional) into the battery compartment door, observing the
correct polarity. The “+” sign on the battery must match the “+” sign
stamped on the top of the battery compartment door.
Gently close the battery compartment door. Do not force the door shut.
If it does not close easily, check to see if the battery is inserted properly.
Once the battery is in its proper position, your instrument is ready to
operate.
Make it a habit to remove the battery every time you take off your hearing
instrument.
