To turn your hearing instrument “on”, you
simply need to close the battery door after
inserting a battery.
There are two ways to turn your hearing
instrument “off ”:
1. Grasp the notch
on the battery door
and pull it until one
click is felt. Your
instrument is now
“off ”.
2. You may choose to
open the battery door
completely which will
also turn off the
hearing instrument.
In fact, when the hearing instrument is not in
use, it is recommended that you open the
battery door and remove the battery. This
helps to prevent excessive battery drain and
allows for proper ventilation of the hearing
instrument.
