Low battery indication

In the standard setting the hearing aid will produce a 
spoken message when the battery is nearly exhausted 
(see page 6). If a setting with tone indication has been 
chosen,  four  beep-tones  will  be  produced.  Once  the 
battery  is  totally  exhausted,  the  hearing  aid  will  be 
completely silent. Exactly how long the hearing aid will 
function  after  the  low  battery  indication  varies  from 
one case to another.  We recommend that you always 
have a spare battery with you.

Never  leave  an  exhausted  battery  in  the  hearing  aid. 
Exhausted  batteries  may  leak,  damaging  the  hearing 
aid. When changing battery, it is a good idea to hold 
the hearing aid over a table.

Your hearing aid may be provided 
with a battery drawer lock. This lock 
can be a good choice if the hearing 
aid is worn by a child. The tool used 
to open the lock is the small screw-
driver  included  in  the  cleaning  ac-
cessories.

 

The lock is opened by push-
ing  it  to  the  right  and  then 
downward  with  the  tool  in 
one  movement  as  illustrat-
ed.
