Ask your hearing professional about
our pocket-sized Mini Turbo Charger
that provides a 3.5-hour charge in
just seven minutes.
• If you will not be wearing your hearing aids for an
extended period of time (i.e, weeks), remove both
the plug from the charger (model dependent) and the
hearing aids from the charging ports. You will need to
manually power off the hearing aids by pressing the
user control on each hearing aid for three seconds.
• Charging occurs with the lid open or closed; hearing
aids will be fully charged in under 3 1/2 hours.
• It is safe to store hearing aids in the charger after they
are fully charged and any time that you are not wearing
them.
• Hearing aids will automatically power on when
removed from the charger.
For premium charger with on-board battery only:
• To illuminate LEDs when the charger is not plugged in,
remove a hearing aid from its charging port for three
seconds and then re-insert it. LEDs illuminate for 10
seconds before turning off.
• When charging without the charger cord, the LEDs turn
off when the hearing aids are fully charged to preserve
the on-board battery.
Charging Your Hearing Aids
• Place your hearing aids in the charger with
the earbuds or earmolds resting inside the
reservoir.
• Your hearing aids will turn off automatically
and begin to charge, as long as your charger is
powered.
• Note: The LEDs corresponding to each
hearing aid:
– Glowing Green = Charging
– Solid Green = Fully Charged
– Blinking Red = Fault State. To reset, remove
the hearing aids from charger, wait until LED
turns off and re-insert aids. If Fault State
continues, call your hearing professional.
• The desiccant puck provided will be effective
for 3–6 months depending on moisture in the
hearing aids and humidity. When the desiccant
puck fades from blue to white, it should be
replaced.

Power On & Off
ON - The hearing aids will power on automatically
after removing them from the charger, as long
as your charger is powered. There is a delay
that allows you time to insert your hearing aid
into your ear.
ON - If the hearing aid is manually powered off,
pressing the user control for three seconds will
power it on. The delay still exists, to give you
time to insert the hearing aid into your ear.
OFF - The hearing aids will power off automatically
when placed in the charging port. Charging
will proceed.
OFF - The hearing aids can be powered off manually
by pressing the user control for three seconds.
System Care
HEARING AID CARE
Keep your hearing aid clean. Heat, moisture and
foreign substances can result in poor performance.
• Use a cleaning brush or soft cloth to clean
debris from around the user control,
microphone and battery compartment.
• Inspect the receiver, earbud and wax guard
regularly.
• Never use water, solvents, cleaning fluids
or oil to clean your hearing aid.
CHARGER CARE
Keep your charger clean. Heat, moisture and foreign
materials can result in poor performance.
• Use the provided cleaning brush to keep the
charging ports and hearing aid microphones
clear of debris.
• Do not use water, solvents or cleaning fluids to
clean the charging ports.
• Keep lid closed as much as possible to avoid
dust and debris buildup.
• Store your charger in a clean and dry location
such as a dresser or shelf rather than the
bathroom or kitchen.
To ensure the longest life of your rechargeable
hearing aid batteries and the batteries in the premium
charger:
• Fully charge hearing aid batteries every night.
• Do not expose to excess heat, i.e., do not store
on a window sill or in a hot car.

Helpful Hints
• Do not take apart your hearing aids or insert
the cleaning tools inside them.
• When not in use, place your hearing aid in the
storage container and store:
– In a dry, safe place
– Away from direct sunlight and heat
to avoid extreme temperatures
– Where you can easily find them
– Safely out of reach from children and pets
Hear Clear Receiver
Wax Guards
RIC hearing aids integrate disposable Hear Clear
earwax protection. The innovative wax guards prevent
earwax accumulation in the hearing aid receiver.
When you need to replace your wax guards, please
follow the instructions below.
1. Insert empty end of the application stick
straight into used wax guard in hearing aid.
2. Pull straight out (do not twist) on stick to
remove used wax guard.
3. Use opposite end of stick to firmly insert clean
wax guard straight into hearing aid.

Limited Warranty
This Limited Warranty provided by Audibel, to you, the
original purchaser of a Audibel hearing aid, covers your new
hearing aid when sold by a hearing professional authorized
by Audibel. This Limited Warranty is a general guide and may
vary by purchase. The duration of this Limited Warranty
begins when you first take delivery of your hearing
aid/charger from an authorized hearing professional and
ends thirty-six (36) or twenty four (24) months later (“warranty
period”):
36 months: Arc AI 2400/2000/1600, Charger
24 months: Arc AI 1200
Limitation on Duration of Implied Warranties
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, IF ANY, ARISING BY WAY OF
STATE LAW, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND/OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY
OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED
IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. There is no
warranty of any nature made by Audibel beyond this Limited
Warranty. No person has authority to enlarge, amend, or
modify this Limited Warranty. Audibel is not responsible for
any undertaking, representation, or warranty (written, express,
or implied) made by any hearing professional or other person
beyond those expressly set forth in this Limited Warranty.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
What this Limited Warranty Covers
This Limited Warranty covers only a “defect” in the
workmanship performed and/or materials used to
manufacture your hearing aid.
“Defect” means the failure of the workmanship performed
and/or materials used to conform the hearing aid to
Audibel’s design and manufacturing specifications and
tolerances.
Your hearing professional may have issued a warranty or
service plan that goes beyond the provisions of this Limited
Warranty. Please contact him or her for further information.
Audibel will either replace the hearing aid or repair any
covered defect in your hearing aid, provided that you
deliver your hearing aid to one of Audibel’s authorized
hearing professionals and notify the hearing professional of
the defect during the warranty period and within thirty (30)
days of discovering the defect. There will be no cost to you
for Audibel’s repair or replacement of the aid itself, but the
hearing professional may charge a fee for services he or she
provides. Performance of warranty repairs on your hearing
aid shall not extend the duration of the warranty period. Any
repairs performed on your hearing aid after the warranty
period has expired shall be considered “good will” repairs,
which shall not alter the terms of this Limited Warranty.

authorized hearing professional from whom you purchased
it. If that professional is unavailable, visit www.audibel.com
or call the toll-free telephone number on the back of the
Operations Manual to locate another authorized Audibel
hearing professional.
What this Limited Warranty Does Not Cover
Batteries, earmolds, accessories, or damage to your hearing
aid caused by misuse or neglect, accident, unauthorized
alteration, or failure to provide reasonable and necessary
maintenance and cleaning.
Disclaimer of Consequential and Incidental
Damages
THE PURCHASER SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER
FROM AUDIBEL ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL
DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY DEFECT IN THE
HEARING AID, INCLUDING BY WAY OF EXAMPLE ONLY,
EXPENSES TO DELIVER THE HEARING AID TO AN
AUTHORIZED HEARING PROFESSIONAL, HOTEL ROOMS,
OR LOST WAGES. THIS EXCLUSION AND DISCLAIMER OF
CONSEQUENTIAL AND INCIDENTAL DAMAGES SHALL BE
DEEMED INDEPENDENT OF, AND SHALL SURVIVE, ANY
FAILURE OF THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY
OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. Some states do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of consequential or incidental
damages, so the above exclusions may not apply to you.
Your Legal Remedies
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT “EXTEND TO
FUTURE PERFORMANCE.” ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES
MAY AND SHALL NOT BE COMMENCED MORE THAN
90 DAYS AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF THE WARRANTY
PERIOD. THE PERFORMANCE OF REPAIRS SHALL NOT
SUSPEND THIS LIMITATIONS PERIOD FROM EXPIRING.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL AUDIBEL BE
OBLIGATED TO REFUND ALL OR ANY PART OF THE
PURCHASE PRICE OF THE HEARING AID. Some states do
not allow the reduction in the limitation period, so the above
reduction in the limitation period may not apply to you. This
warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have
other rights which vary from state to state. This warranty is
valid only in the United States.
Product specification may be obtained from your hearing
professional.
