Preparation
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. 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.
We recommend to only use batteries which your
hearing care professional approves and sells.
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 the hearing
system will repeat the low battery warning
approximately every 30 minutes.

Note:
Your microSavia Art CRT hearing system offers the
unique possibility to be operated either with size 312
(standard) or size 10 batteries (option). Your hearing
care professional may modify the devices accordingly.
The 312 battery lasts longer and is easier to handle,
the 10 battery creates an even small overall instrument
size (refer to picture below).
Identifying left and right hearing systems
It is important to use the correct instrument for each ear.
Your hearing care professional can mark the instruments
for you with a color code placed on the case under
the nail grip of the battery compartment. The color code
is visible when the battery compartment is opened.
It will identify left and right instruments as follows:
312 Battery10 Battery
