• Always use the recommended battery size for your hearing
instrument. The battery size information for your hearing
instrument is located on the feature card.
• Remove the battery from your instruments when not in use.
This prevents possible damage from expansion or leakage of the
battery, if the instruments are not fully turned off.
• Always carry spare batteries in the event that your current
battery goes dead. Place each spare battery in an individual,
non-metallic container to prevent contact with other batteries or
metal objects, such as keys or coins.
• Follow your local recycling rules for battery disposal.
Using the eCharger
If you have the optional
charger, refer to the charger
instruction manual for
operating instructions.
Use only the rechargeable
batteries delivered with
the charger or available
through your Hearing Care
Professional. The lifetime
of a rechargeable battery
is approximately one year,
depending on individual use.
NOTE: Do not attempt to
charge standard,
non-rechargeable
batteries!
NOTE: The hearing insturment must be turned on after removing
from the charger (see page 10 Turning the Hearing
Instrument on or off).

Turning the hearing instrument on or off
To turn the hearing instrument on, insert a battery into the
hearing instrument and completely close the door.
To turn the hearing instrument off, open the battery door to the
first catch.
Siemens hearing instruments may also be programmed to allow
you to turn them on and off using the program button. Refer to
the Operation section (page 20) for further information.
You can also use an optional remote control to turn the hearing
instruments on and off.
Some BTE’s may also have a LED light (Fig.5) near the battery door.
The LED (optional) shows whether the hearing instruments are on.
LED can be covered or programmed on/off
• The LED shines continuously:
the hearing instruments are
switched on and sufficient battery
power is available.
• The LED is off: The hearing
instruments are switched off or
the battery must be replaced.
Attaching the earmold (where provided)
If your earmold detaches, gently insert the earhook of the hearing
instrument into the tubing of the earmold supplied by your
