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 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).

Preparation
Identifying left and right hearing systems
It is important to use the correct hearing system for
each ear.
Your hearing care professional can mark the hearing
systems 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:
red = right hearing system
blue = left hearing system
