Warnings
i
Batteries contain dangerous substances and should be disposed of carefully in the interest of your safety
and for the environment.
•
Keep batteries away from children and mentally challenged persons.
•
Do not place batteries in your mouth. Consult a physician immediately if a battery has been swallowed,
as they can be harmful to your health.
•
Do not attempt to recharge batteries (Zinc Air) which are not specifically designated rechargeable, as
they may leak or explode.
•
Do not burn the batteries, as they could explode.
•
Replace spent batteries and do not leave them in the instrument for a prolonged period, to prevent
leakage.
•
Used batteries are harmful to the environment. Please dispose of them according to local regulations or
return them to your hearing care practitioner.
•
Remove the batteries to prevent leakage when the hearing instruments are not in use for an extended
period of time.
•
Whenever the hearing instruments are not in use, remember to turn them off to avoid unnecessary bat-
tery consumption.
Inserting and removing the instrument
(standard earmould)
Inserting the instrument
•
With the battery door opened in the off position, take the earmould bet-
ween thumb and index finger and position its ‘point’ in your ear canal.
Now, slide the earmould all the way into your ear with a gentle, twisting
movement.
Insertion can be easier if you gently pull your auricle backwards with
your other hand.
•
Turn the top-part of the earmould gently backwards and forwards so
that it fits behind the fold of skin above your ear canal.
•
Place the hearing instrument behind your ear. Move the earmould up
and down and press gently to ensure it is positioned correctly in the ear.
Opening and closing your mouth can ease insertion. You will feel when
the earmould is positioned correctly.
•
When correctly positioned, switch on your instrument by closing the bat-
tery door.
•
You can also insert the hearing instrument while in the on position. Howe-
ver, doing this might result in some feedback (whistling).
