SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction
This product has been designed for all types of hearing
instruments, including hearing aids, noise maskers, ear
monitors, ear buds, amplifi ers, and implant equipment.
Used daily, it can help most hearing instruments
sound better, last longer, and perform more reliably.
Technology exclusive to Dry & Store removes damaging
moisture, dries earwax, captures odours, and in high-
humidity conditions, can also extend zinc air battery life.
Additionally, the DryMax-UV model improves comfort by
killing the bacteria that are the most common cause of skin
irritation among hearing device users.
Before Your First Use
(Important)
1. Activate the desiccant: A disposable “Dry-Brik
®
Mini”,
which should be replaced every month, is included. The
Dry-Brik performs three important functions: (1) to
permanently remove the moisture molecules that are
released from the devices during the drying cycle, (2) to
drive the relative humidity inside the box to a much lower
level than is possible with just a heater, thus maximizing
the drying capability, and (3) to capture odours.
To activate the Dry-Brik Mini,
remove the foil cover. Do not remove
the foil until you are ready to use the
Dry-Brik, because once it is removed
the Dry-Brik will begin adsorbing
moisture.
2. Record the activation date: To alert
you when it is time for replacement,
a card is attached to each Dry-Brik.
Write the date that the Dry-Brik was
placed in service on this card.
NOTE: To ensure maximum
performance, change the
Dry-Brik Mini every month.
3. Place the activated Dry-Brik Mini
in your unit, as shown in Figure 3.
4. Connect the AC adapter: The
micro-USB plug fits into the rear
of the unit. Do not force; it should
slide in easily. Finally, plug the AC adapter into an active
electrical outlet.
