Changing the battery
Refer to the feature card or check with your Hearing Care
Professional to determine the battery size for your hearing
instrument.
To insert the battery into the hearing instrument, open the
battery compartment with your fingernail as shown (Fig. 6).
Fig. 6: Opening the battery compartment
Open the battery compartment door. Insert the proper size
battery into the compartment door so that the “+” symbol
on the battery coincides with the “+” marked on the battery
compartment (Fig. 7).
Fig. 7: Inserting the battery
Close the battery compartment by gently pressing the bottom of
the door upward with your fingertip. Do not force the door shut.
If it does not close easily, check to ensure the battery was inserted
properly (Fig. 8).
Fig. 8: Closing the battery compartment
The battery should easily drop out when the compartment door is
completely open (Fig. 9). If the battery does not come out, lightly
tap on the case.
Fig. 9: Removing the battery
Your hearing instrument may be programmed to inform you when
the battery should be replaced. Refer to the low battery indicator
information in the Operation section (page 22) of this manual for
further information.
Handling standard and rechargeable batteries
You can use either a standard or a rechargeable battery in your
hearing instrument. The optional charger is required to charge
rechargeable batteries. If using a standard battery, remove the
backing tab only when you are ready to use it.
If using a rechargeable battery, charge it before the first use.
