Changing the battery
Before inserting a new battery
in your hearing aid, remember
to remove the adhesive tab . Do
not use batteries on which there
is a sticky residue from the tab
or other unwanted substance as
this can block the battery air-
holes .
Always turn the hearing aid off
before lifting the cover for ac-
cess to the battery compart-
ment . The battery is placed cor-
rectly when the plus (+) sign on
the battery is upwards (visible) .
If the battery compartment cov-
er does not close easily, the bat-
tery is incorrectly inserted .
When changing batteries, make sure to hold the
hearing aid over a table or a carpet to make it
easier to find a dropped hearing aid or battery .
Exhausted batteries:
If you hear four rapid
beep-tones while wearing your hearing aid, it is
an indication that you should exchange the bat-
tery as soon as possible, as the battery is nearly
exhausted . Once the battery is totally exhausted,
the hearing aid will be completely silent .
Exactly how long the hearing aid will function af-
ter the beep-tones varies from one case to anoth-
er . We recommend that you always have a spare
battery with you .
The rate at which a battery loses power is depen-
dent upon the circumstances under which the
battery is used . In some circumstances, the bat-
tery can drain so suddenly that the beep-tones for
low battery warning will only be partially pro-
duced or not be produced at all .
Never let an exhausted battery remain in the
hearing aid . Exhausted batteries may leak, which
could damage your hearing aid .
