Charging the battery and general battery info
iView has an internal, rechargeable battery.
To charge it, connect the charging cable
to iView as shown in the picture below. Plug
the other end of the charging cable into a
power outlet.
Do not use iView while charging.
For safety reasons, recharge the battery only
with chargers supplied by Phonak.

Getting started

During the charging process, the battery symbol on
the screen will flash. Once the battery is fully charged,
the battery symbol will stop flashing.
Charging an empty battery typically takes about
90 minutes. It is safe to leave the charger connected
overnight – the battery cannot be overcharged.
When charging iView for the first time, leave
it to charge for five hours, even if the battery
symbol stops flashing.
A new battery’s full performance is achieved
only after two or three complete charge and
discharge cycles.
The iView battery can be charged hundreds of
times. If the operating time of your iView reduces
substantially, please contact your hearing care
professional.

recharging.
Turning iView ON/OFF
To turn iView ON/OFF, press and hold the
ON/OFF button for about a second until you see
the display turn ON/OFF.

Reading out the hearing instrument status
Press the status read out button to initiate the
read out process. After the status is read
out successfully, the settings for the left and right
hearing instruments will be displayed.
If you are trying to read out the status of two hearing
instruments, but only one is displayed, reduce the
distance and try again. If it still doesn't work, check
if the hearing instrument is turned on or replace
the hearing aid batteries and press the read out button
again.
