Instructions for use.
Start-up
Battery performance
The daily battery performance varies depending on your individual use
and hearing aid settings.
Streaming sound from e.g. TV, mobile phone or connectivity devices can
influence daily battery performance.
If your hearing aid runs out of battery, ensure you recharge it by placing
it in the charger. Be aware that restarting the hearing aid does not give
you more usage time.
For the best charging conditions, ensure the room temperature is in the
range of +10°C and +35°C (50°F and 95°F).
If your hearing aid does not perform for a full day, you may need to
replace the battery. If so, contact your hearing care professional.

Hearing aid storage
When you are not using your hearing aid, the charger is the best place to
keep it.
To ensure your hearing aid is always charged, place the hearing aid in
the charger and make sure it is plugged in to power.
To ensure the longest life of the rechargeable battery in the hearing aid,
do not expose it to excessive heat. For example, do not leave the hearing
aid in the sun in front of a window or in a car, even if the hearing aid is in
the charger.
Long-term storage
Before you put away or store the hearing aid for a prolonged period of
time (more than 14 days), ensure you first fully charge the hearing aid,
and then turn it OFF. This way the battery can be charged again.
Note
To protect the rechargeable battery, it is necessary that you fully charge
the hearing aid every six months. If a stored hearing aid is not charged
within a six month period, the rechargeable battery must be replaced.
For instructions on how to charge your hearing aid, see the charger’s
instructions for use.
