Battery life examples given a fully charged battery
Expected battery performance
If the battery is fully charged for 7 uninterrupted hours, the ZPower
solution is expected to provide a full day of operating time.
The expected day-to-day battery life will vary depending on the
degree of use.
• A full 19-hour day of battery use without streaming.
• 16-17 hours of use based on 90 minutes of iPhone streaming activity in
addition to traditional use.
• 15-16 hours of use for traditional hearing aid usage in addition to 4
hours of television and one hour of streaming from iPhone.
If used daily, the rechargeable ZPower silver-zinc batteries will last for
roughly a year before they will need to be replaced.

How to use the rechargeable batteries
Proper use will help to extend the life of your batteries.
• Charge the hearing aids before wearing them. The recommended
charge time is 7 uninterrupted hours.
• Charge the hearing aids at temperatures between 50°F (10°C)
and 104°F (40°C).
• Don’t place the hearing aids in the charger if the charger is unplugged;
this will drain the batteries.
• If you don’t intend to use your hearing aids for several days, remove
the batteries.
• Don’t force the battery to operate after the HA is turned off, by
opening and closing the battery drawer.
• Your batteries should last for approximately one year.
Contact your hearing care professional if you need new batteries.
Care and maintenance
• Clean as needed.
• Remove debris or build-up from hearing aids and the charger
dock inlays with soft tissue or Oticon brush.
• Do not apply rubbing alcohol or other chemical substances.
• Testing confirmed moisture and swelling should not be an issue.
• Don’t store the rechargeable silver zinc batteries together with
coins and metal pieces, when removed from the hearing aids.
• Wipe off any moisture on the hearing aids or charging dock before
charging using a soft tissue or Oticon brush.

5 tips to get the best from your rechargeable Oticon Opn
hearing aids
1. Charging: Always fully charge the batteries, until the light in
the charging dock is solid green – it takes approximately 7 hours.
2. Out of power: If the batteries are drained and the hearing aids have
switched off, never try to get more use by opening and closing the
drawer. Either:
a. Place the hearing aids in the charging dock and ensure it is powered on.
b. Insert disposable batteries and keep the rechargeable batteries safe
for charging later.
3. Not in use: If you are not using your hearing aids for an extended period
of time, take the batteries out.
Note: Avoid leaving the rechargeable batteries in the hearing aids with
the battery drawers open. This will compromise battery life.
4. Handling: Don’t keep the rechargeable batteries together
with metal objects such as keys and coins.
5. Maintenance: Wipe off any moisture on the hearing aids or
charging dock before charging using a soft tissue. Do not use
rubbing alcohol or other chemical substances.
