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
airholes .
The battery drawer swings out
on the opposite side of the on/
off switch .
The battery must be placed
with the plus (+) sign visible, in
accordance with the plus (+)
sign on the battery drawer . If
the battery drawer does not
close easily, the battery is in-
correctly 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 leave an exhausted battery in the hearing
aid . Exhausted batteries may leak, which could
damage your hearing aid .
