Battery Use
When you are not using your device (e.g. when you go to sleep) we recommend
opening the battery compartment completely to preserve battery power. Leaking
batteries damage the system. Please remove batteries when the hearing systems are
not in use for a prolonged period of time.
Low Battery Warning
When your battery runs low, the device will emit multiple continuous beeps.
Battery Safety

• Keep batteries away from sources of high temperature
• Keep batteries away from children and pets

battery compartment in order to preserve battery power.

The aPearl can be inserted in 3 easy steps:
1. Place the device over the top of your ear, so that the hard casing is behind your ear
and the tubing is in front
2. Push the dome into your ear until it sits comfortably and the tube lies flat against the
side of your head. The dome should be just inside the ear canal. You should not see it
if placed correctly
3. Place the retention guard of the sound tube into the bowl of your outer ear
To remove your hearing aid, hold the tube and pull it outward
