Replacing the battery
Use battery size 13 for all Certéna Behind the Ear
instruments.
Using the nail grip, open the battery compartment
completely and remove the old battery.
Remove the
protective foil from
the new battery.
10
Preparation

11
Insert the new battery with the “+” sign (flat side
of the battery) in line with the “+” marked on the
battery compartment and close it.

12
Handle the battery compartment with care
and do not use excessive force.
If there is any resistance when closing the
compartment, ensure that the battery is
inserted correctly. The compartment may not
close properly if the battery is upside down,
and the instrument will not work.
When your hearing system 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. You have
approximately 30 minutes to replace the battery after
hearing the signal. This reserve may be higher
and the hearing system 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.
Preparation

Tamper proof battery compartment
To protect children from the dangers of playing with
batteries, a special locking system may be mounted on
the instruments. This locking system can also be used
for identifying left and right instruments.

into the hole of the lock. 햲

Identifying left and right instruments
It is important to use the correct hearing system for
each ear.
Your hearing care professional can mark the hearing
systems for you. The color code on the housing will
identify left and right hearing systems.
The color code is as follows:
red = right
blue = left

16
Inserting your
hearing system
with earmold into
your ear
Using the hand on the same side you wear your hearing
system, grasp the earmold between the thumb and
index finger.
Raise your hand to your ear making sure the canal
portion of the earmold faces your ear. Tilt your hand
slightly forward.
Preparation

17
Place the canal portion of the earmold inside your ear
canal. If it is difficult to get it into place, stretch your ear
by pulling it gently backwards and upwards with your
other hand. When the canal portion is in place, twist the
earmold backwards so that it fits into the concha and
the helix portion is under the fold.

18
Now position the hearing system behind the ear.
Be careful not to twist the tubing.
Preparation

19
Check the placement of the earmold by tracing the
contour of the ear with your finger.
To remove your hearing system, grasp the earmold,
not the tubing, and pull it out of your ear gently but
firmly.

햲
Preparation
Inserting your hearing system with Fit’nGo
slim tube into your ear
Open dome and SlimTip
Place the hearing
instrument over
the top of your
ear 햲.
Hold the slimtube where it attaches to the dome
or SlimTip 햳and gently push the dome or SlimTip
into your ear canal. The dome or SlimTip should be
placed far enough into the ear so that the slim tube
lies flush with your head.
