Your hearing in󰄋ruments
This user guide describes optional features that
your hearing in󰘵ruments may or may not have.
Ask your Hearing Care Professional to indicate the
features that are valid for your hearing in󰘵ruments.
In󰄋rument type
Your hearing in󰘵ruments are BTE (Behind-The-Ear)
models. A tube delivers the sound from the hearing
in󰘵rument into the ear. The in󰘵ruments are not intended
for children under the age of 3 years or persons with a
developmental age of under 3 years.
A power cell (lithium-ion rechargeable battery) is
permanently built into your hearing in󰘵rument. This
enables easy charging with our 󰘵andard Charger or the
optional charger, Charging+ Station.
The wireless functionality enables advanced audiological
features and synchronization between your two hearing
in󰘵ruments.
Your hearing in󰘵ruments feature Bluetooth® low energy*
technology allowing for easy data exchange with your
smartphone, and for seamless audio 󰘵reaming with your
iPhone**.

Getting to know your hearing in󰄋ruments
It is recommended to familiarize yourself with your new
hearing in󰘵ruments. With the in󰘵ruments in your hand
try using the controls and note their location on the
in󰘵rument. This will make it easier for you to feel and
press the controls while wearing the hearing in󰘵ruments.
If you have problems pressing the controls of your
hearing in󰘵ruments while wearing them, you can
ask your Hearing Care Professional whether a
remote control or a smartphone app to control your
in󰘵ruments is available.
Components and names

Low power indication
You will hear an alert signal to indicate the power cell
is running low. The signal will be repeated every
20 minutes. Depending on the usage of your hearing
in󰘵ruments, you have approximately 1.5 hours to charge
your hearing in󰘵ruments before they 󰘵op working.
Note that the power cell runtime is reduced if too many

You have the following options to turn your hearing
in󰘵ruments on or o󰘯.
Via charger:
XTurning on: Take the in󰘵ruments out of the charger.

Switching to 󰄋andby mode
Via remote control or smartphone app, you can switch
your hearing in󰘵ruments to 󰘵andby mode. This mutes
the hearing in󰘵ruments. When you leave 󰘵andby mode,
the previously used volume and hearing program are

Note:
● In 󰘵andby mode, the hearing in󰘵ruments are not
turned o󰘯 completely. They draw some power.

control or app is not at hand: Turn your hearing
in󰘵ruments o󰘯 and on again (via rocker switch or by

in󰘵ruments.

pairing, audio 󰘵reaming and other useful functions,
contact your Hearing Care Professional.

Airplane mode for hearing in󰄋ruments
Airplane mode is when Bluetooth of your hearing
in󰘵ruments is turned o󰘯. In areas where the use of
Bluetooth technology is not allowed (e.g. on some
airplanes), you can deactivate Bluetooth mode. This turns
Bluetooth in your hearing in󰘵ruments o󰘯 temporarily. The
hearing in󰘵ruments 󰘵ill work without Bluetooth, however
direct audio 󰘵reaming will not be possible and other
functions will not be available.
XTo deactivate or activate the Bluetooth mode, use the
smartphone app.
An alert tone indicates when Bluetooth mode is
deactivated or activated.
Audio induction loops
Some telephones and public places like theatres o󰘯er the
audio signal (music and speech) via an audio induction
loop. With this sy󰘵em, your hearing in󰘵ruments can
directly receive the desired signal – without di󰘵racting
noise in the environment.
You can usually recognize audio induction
loop sy󰘵ems by certain signs.
