USER GUIDE
Using The Program Button
Your hearing aid has a program button. This button
gives you the ability to choose different listening
programs. When you turn the hearing aid off and then
on, it automatically returns to program 1.
Each time you press the button, you move to the next
program. The sequence is 1, 2, 3, 4, 1...
Your hearing aid may use SmartTones
™
to help you
identify which program you are using. When you select
program 1 you will hear one beep, program 2 will emit
two beeps, and so on.
Your hearing aid may also have Voice Alerts to help you
identify which program you are using. When you push
the program button, the name of the program you are
switching to will be announced.
Note
Your hearing healthcare
provider may not activate all
programs.

Changing The Battery
The life of your hearing aid battery will vary depending
on your hearing program, the listening situation, and
the length of daily use. A tone sequence or Voice Alert
will tell you when the battery in your hearing aid is
low. When you hear the warning, change the battery
in your hearing aid. If the battery gets so low that it
cannot supply enough power to your hearing aid, a
SmartTone™ power off sequence will play and the
aid will shut off. Place a new battery in the aid to turn
it back on. If your hearing aid is not in use, open the
battery door to slow the battery use.
Always remove the battery if your aid is not in use for
long periods.
Battery Type
Stainless steel zinc-air batteries are recommended.
Your hearing aid uses a 10 A battery.
