Hearing system batteries are toxic if they are
swallowed! Keep out of reach of children and pets.
If batteries are swallowed, consult your physician
immediately!
If you feel pain in or behind your ear, if it is inflamed
or if skin irritation and accelerated accumulations
of ear wax occur, please check with your hearing care
professional or physician.
In very rare cases, the dome can remain in your ear
canal when removing the hearing tube from the
ear. In the unlikely case that the dome does get stuck
in your ear canal, it is strongly recommended to
see a physician for safe removal.
Hearing programs in the directional microphone mode
reduce background noises. Please be aware that
warning signals or noises coming from behind, e. g.
cars, are partially or entirely suppressed.
The hearing system contains small parts which can
be swallowed by children.

Always use new batteries for your hearing system.
You can return used batteries to your hearing care
professional.
Remove the battery if you are not using your
hearing system for a long period of time.
X-ray radiation (e. g. CT scans, MRI scans) may
adversely affect the correct functioning of your
hearing systems. We recommend that you remove
them before undergoing X-ray procedures and
keep them outside the room.
Do not use your hearing system in areas where
electronic equipment is prohibited.

wave or other heating devices to dry your hearing
system. Ask your hearing care professional about
suitable drying methods.
When you are not using your hearing system,
leave the battery compartment open so that any
moisture can evaporate. Make sure that you
always completely dry your hearing system after
use. Store the hearing system in a safe, dry and
clean place.

Step 5. Inserting the hearing system
This step shows you how to correctly insert the hearing
system. The type of earpiece determines how the
hearing system is inserted.
Each hearing system is individually programmed
for your right or left ear. For the first step identify
right and left so you will be able to insert your
hearing system in the correct ear.
Step 5.1 Identifying the hearing systems for the right
and left ear

right = red
left = blue

Open and close the battery compartment gently
and carefully.
Check if you feel resistance when closing the
battery compartment. Check to make sure
the battery is correctly inserted and in the correct
direction. If the battery is inserted the wrong
way, the hearing system will not work and the
battery compartment can be damaged.
The hearing system is now switched on. It can take up
to 15 seconds before it starts.
(When you wear the hearing system, you will hear an
acoustic signal).

If you have problems inserting the hearing system, use
your other hand to gently pull your earlobe downwards.
This opens the ear canal a little more and you can
gradually rotate the dome until it fits correctly.
Y
ou have now successfully inserted the right hearing
system. Now insert your left hearing system in the
same way (marked in blue, see step 5.1)
Step 5.3 For inserting a hearing system with a SlimTip
or
Shell
Follow the instructions in Step 5.2, as this procedure is
identical.
Step 6. Adjusting the volume control behind the ear*

our hearing care professional can configure your hearing
system (push) switch as either a volume control or a
program selector.

Step 5.2 Inserting a hearing system with a dome
With your right hand, place the right hearing system
(red mark on the hearing system, see step 5.1) behind
your right ear (Fig. 5c). Place the hearing tube between
your thumb and forefinger. Insert the dome deep enough
into the ear canal so that the hearing tube lies flat on
your ear (Fig. 5d). If your hearing system has a retention
cord, then press it into the bowl of the ear in order to
retain the dome in the ear canal (Fig. 5e).
