the right to make any changes we consider

Intended use
Hearing aids are intended to improve the hearing of
hearing impaired persons. Diagnosis and prescription
of a hearing aid must be performed by Hearing
Care Professionals, e.g. acousticians, audiologists or
ENT doctors.
Use the hearing aids and accessories only as described
in the respective user guides.

Your hearing aids
This user guide describes optional features that
your hearing aids may or may not have.
Ask your Hearing Care Professional to indicate
the features that are valid for your hearing aids.
Hearing aid type
Your hearing aids are a RIC (Receiver-in-Canal)
model. The receiver is placed within the ear canal and
connected to the hearing aid via a receiver cable. The
hearing aids 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 aid. This enables
easy charging with MECHARGE™iRIC AX Charger or
MECHARGE™Dry & Clean Charger.
The wireless functionality enables advanced
audiological features and synchronization between
your two hearing aids.
Your hearing aids feature Bluetooth®Low Energy*
technology allowing for easy data exchange with your
smartphone, and for seamless audio streaming with
your iPhone** and for some Android smartphones that
support Audio Streaming for Hearing Aids (ASHA).

➊ ➋
XPlace the hearing aids in the charger.

You can also find useful tips for charging in the
charger's user guide.
Turning on and off hearing aids
You have the following options to turn your hearing aids
on or off.
XTurning on: Take the hearing aids out of the charger.
The startup melody is played in your hearing aids.
The default volume and hearing program are set.
XTurning off: Place the hearing aids in the charger.
Note that the charger must be on.

10
Switching to standby mode
Via remote control, you can switch your hearing aids to
standby mode. This mutes the hearing aids. When you
leave standby mode, the previously used volume and
hearing program are set.
Note:
■In standby mode, the hearing aids are not turned off
completely. They draw some power.
Therefore we recommend to use standby mode
only for a short period of time.
■If you want to leave standby mode, but the remote
control is not at hand: Turn your hearing aids off
and on again (by shortly placing them in the charger
until one or more LEDs light up). Wait until the
startup melody is played in your hearing aids. This
may take several seconds. Note that the default
volume and hearing program are set.
