A special protective case is provided to securely
store your Audéo YES instruments and batteries.
Store your Audéo YES in their protective case when
not in use and leave the battery compartment in
the OFF position (as described on page 20) to allow
any moisture to evaporate. Remove the batteries
if you will not be using them for an extended period
of time.

Preparation
Replacing the battery
Using the nail grip, open the battery compartment
completely and remove the old battery.
Remove the
protective foil
from the new
battery. Wait for
two minutes
before inserting it.

10
Preparation
Insert the new battery with the “+” sign (flat side of
the battery) in line with the correct battery orientation
marked in the battery compartment and close it.
Replacing the battery
Handle the battery compartment with care and
do not use excessive force.
If there is any resistance when shutting the
compartment, ensure that the battery is inserted
correctly.

11
The compartment may not close properly if the
battery is upside down and the instrument will
not work.
When your Audéo YES is not in use, leave the
battery compartment open to allow any moisture
to evaporate.
Low battery warning
An acoustic signal gives you an early warning
that the battery is approaching exhaustion.
Usually you have at least 30 minutes to replace
the battery. With very high quality batteries,
this reserve may be much higher and Audéo YES will
repeat the low battery warning approximately
every 30 minutes.
Please note that the battery consumption increases
with regular use of the myPilot command center or
the iCom communication interface.

12
Preparation
Identifying left and right Audéo YES
It is important to use the correct Audéo YES for each ear.
Your hearing care professional can mark them for you
with a color code placed in the battery compartment.
The color code is visible when the battery compartment
is opened.
It will identify left and right instruments as follows:
blue = red =
left Audéo YES right Audéo YES

13
Inserting Audéo YES with xReceiver and dome into
your ear
Open domes
Place the Audéo YES over the top of your ear 햲.
햲

Hold the xReceiver
where it attaches to
the dome 햳and
gently push the dome
into your ear canal.
The dome should be
placed far enough into
the ear so that the
wire of the xReceiver
lies flush with your head 햴.

15
Closed domes
The closed dome consists of two fins overlapping each
other. Before inserting the closed dome into the ear
canal, it is important to check the position of these fins.
The bigger fin must be positioned over the smaller
fin, see picture 햲. If the position is incorrect 햳, you
can easily adjust it. With one finger, just bend
smoothly the bigger fin forwards and then back again so
that it is overlapping the smaller one, see picture 햴.
Make sure also that the slit of the closed dome is in a
horizontal position on the tube unit, as shown in
picture 햲.
Your xReceiver with closed dome is ready to be
inserted into the ear, refer to page 13.
In very rare cases, the dome can remain in the
ear canal when removing the Receiver Unit from
the ear. In the unlikely case that any parts remain
in the ear canal, it is strongly recommended to
see a medical specialist for safe removal.

Inserting Audéo YES with Shell
Using the hand on the same side you wear your
hearing system, grasp the shell between your thumb
and index finger.

end of the shell faces your ear. Tilt your hand slightly
forward 햲.
햲

18
Preparation
Insert the canal end of the shell into your ear canal.
Tug gently on your ear lobe and push the hearing
system into the correct position 햳.

19
Now position the hearing system behind your ear.
Be careful not to twist the tubing 햴.
Check the placement of the
shell by tracing the contour
of the ear with your finger.
