  O-   -M Switch

O:  Hearing aid is turned off and no sound is heard.

:  Sounds through both the microphone and telephone coil can 

be heard. Set to "

   

" position when using your hearing aid 

for telephone or induction loop system in combination with 
the MT balancer.

When the switch of the hearing aid is set to  , noise may be 
heard in the vicinity of electromagnetic fields, such as generated 
for example by electronically secured gates or similar.

M:  Microphone for ordinary use. This is the normal operating 

position.

Removing Hearing Aid

1.  Set the switch to "O" (power off) before re-

moving the hearing aid. If the switch is left in 
the "M" or "   " position, acoustic feedback 
(high-pitched sounds) may occur.

2. Be sure to set the switch to "O"

 

and take out the battery, when 

not using the hearing aid.

No. 51960  07-06

Turn-on precaution

If you switch the hearing aid off and then immediately on again, 
there may be no sound, but this is not a defect. In such a case, 
return the switch to "O" (Off), wait for at least 10 seconds, and 
then set the switch to "M" or "   " again.

Adjusting the Controls 

This hearing aid is a digital type. Any adjustments must be done 
at the dealer. For details, please contact the dealer.
