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 .
Insert.the.battery.in.the.
special.round.holder.built.
into. the. battery. drawer ..
The.battery.is.placed.cor-
rectly.when.the.flat.side.
with.the.little.hole.in.the.
middle.is.facing.towards.
the.open.face.of.the.bat-
tery.drawer ..Most.batter-
ies. are. marked. with. a.
small.plus.(+) ..This.plus.
should. face. in. the. direc-
tion. indicated. by. the.
small. plus. (+). printed. on. the. lower. part. of. the.

.When.opening.the.battery.drawer,.be.care-
ful.not.to.force.it.beyond.the.upright.position.(see.
illustration) .
If. the. battery. drawer. does. not. close. easily,. the.
battery.is.incorrectly.inserted .

ing.aid .

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 .
Note:
. Never. leave. an. exhausted. battery. in. the.
hearing. aid .. Leakage. from. exhausted. batteries.
