To replace your hearing instrument battery,
follow these steps:
Step 1: Lift the notch
at the edge of the
compartment and
carefully swing open the
door. (Illustration 1)
Step 2: Remove the
“brown” or “yellow”
colored tab (depending
on the correct battery
size for your model) on
the battery. Holding
the instrument as
shown in illustration 2,
insert the battery with
the “+” side up,
matching to the “+”
on the battery
compartment door.
Step 3:
Gently swing the door into the closed
position. The compartment should close easily.
Do not force it. If resistance is noted, check
that the battery is inserted correctly.
It is important that the battery is inserted
correctly. If the battery compartment door
does not easily close, the battery was not
inserted correctly. If so, check that the battery
is inserted correctly in the compartment door.
Do NOT try to force the door shut, close gently.
The life of your hearing instruments’ batteries
will vary depending on length of daily use,
listening environments, and how your hearing
instruments are programmed. When the
hearing instrument batteries go dead, remove
them immediately and replace them with new
batteries. Batteries may be purchased through
your hearing healthcare professional.
When your hearing instruments are not in use,
open the battery compartment to prevent
excessive battery drain and ventilate the
instruments.
