Placing the battery and switching the module on
First remove the sticker from the battery. Place the battery in the module with the
(+) sign (this is the fl at side of the battery where the sticker was) at the same side
as the (+) sign on the module. The module is set to program 1.

Placing the module in the soft tip (step 1)
Start with a ‘medium’ soft tip*. Hold the soft tip with the pull cord pointed
upwards. Place the module in the soft tip with the arrow facing towards you.
2
Placing the module in the soft tip (step 2)
Push the module gradually into the soft tip. Insert the module all the way into
the soft tip. The device is now ready for use.
Placing the device in the ear
There is no diff erence between the left and the right device, therefor it doesn’t
matter which device you insert in your ear.
Place the device in the ear with the pull cord (long part of the soft tip) at the
side of the ‘tragus’ (see image). Push the device gently with an up and down
movement as far in the ear as possible. The ear canal goes a little upwards, so it’s
best to push the device a bit upwards and inwards until it cannot go further. You
can insert the device deep into the ear without damaging the eardrum.
If you feel the device is not properly positioned in your ear, the following tips
may help (this instruction is written for the left ear):
• Move you right arm over your head
• With your right hand, grab the upper part of your left ear
• Pull the ear up a little
• With your left hand, you push the device a little further into the left ear, with an
up and down movement (as your ear canal goes up a little).
Do this exactly the other way around for the device in your right ear.
Switching programs with the AirTAP™ functionality
Switch programs with the AirTAP™ functionality by softly tapping the ear twice
(with approximately half a second in between the two taps). It is important
that the ear is closed off with the fi ngers, so that the device properly notes the
diff erence in air pressure. The number of beeps indicates which program is in use *.
Using the telephone

.
Hold the phone against your ear at
the front, but keep the phone a little
further away (about 45°) from your
ear at the back.
Cutting the soft tip
When the device is placed properly in the ear, a small part of the pull cord will
usually be visible. You are able to cut a few ribs off the pull cord with a pair of
scissors. Always leave a minimum of 2 ribs, for easy removal of the soft tip from
the ear.

• In order to get accustomed to the Qleaf Lite we advise a continuous
wearing period of one hour, in case of fi rst use. Subsequently, increase
the wearing time one hour each day. The eventual wearing time per day
will vary due to situation(s) in which you need the device. It’s important
to increase usage time slowly due to the possibility of hearing certain
sounds such as the rustling of paper, fl ushing the toilet etc. After 10 to 14
days, your brain will be accustomed to the new sounds; they will become
less conspicuous. You will also be less aware you are using a personal
sound amplifi er.
• Clean the device daily after use. Check ‘Cleaning the Qleaf Lite’ at the
backside of the quick start guide.
• If the battery is almost dead, the device will indicate this every 10 minutes
with a series of double beeps. Replace the battery in a timely manner and
make sure you always have an accessible spare battery.
