Low battery warning
An acoustic signal gives you an early warning that the
battery is approaching exhaustion. You have usually
at least 30 minutes to replace the battery. With very
high quality batteries, this reserve may be higher. The
hearing system will repeat the low battery warning
approximately every 30 minutes.
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.
If the battery is installed backwards, the
instrument will not work. Please open the battery
compartment and insert the battery correctly.
For the Junior models, the battery latch must be
placed back over the battery and locked,
before closing the battery compartment.
The battery compartment must be completely
closed to ensure that the hearing instrument is
water resistant.
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.

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. The color code on the lower part
of the battery compartment will identify left and right
hearing systems.
The color code is as follows:
blue = left red = right
If you have a design-integrated FM solution (ML10i)
mounted on your hearing systems, the color code is
situated on the ML10i module identifying left and right
hearing systems, refer to the drawing below.
blue = left red = right

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

automatically selects the most appropriate hearing
program.
Additional program selection
Upon request, your hearing care professional can program
for you additional individual hearing programs dedicated
to specific hearing situation or FM (wireless
communication) use. Additional programs are available
via myPilot (see page 33) and/or with the program
switch.
QuickSync - controlling two hearing instruments
QuickSync, an automatic synchronization for volume
adjustments and program selection is integrated in
Naída V UP models. Users wearing two hearing
instruments have to activate the functionality on one
instrument and the other instrument will be adjusted

The program switch allows manual toggling between
the “Automatic Mode”, “Mute Mode” and individual
hearing programs. A short melody confirms the selection
of the “Automatic Mode”.
Telecoil (optional)
Your hearing care professional may have activated a
telecoil (T-coil) in your Naída hearing systems. The
programs with T-coil are used to listen to telephones
that are compatible with hearing system or via
inductive loop systems (present in some school settings,
theaters, churches, etc.) as well as other wireless
solutions (e.g. Phonak MyLink FM system).

Operation
EasyPhone
The EasyPhone function enables your Naída hearing
system to automatically select your telephone program
when the telephone handset is held close to your ear.
An acoustic signal confirms the switching.
It automatically returns to the previous hearing program
when the telephone handset is removed from your ear.
Some telephones produce a magnetic field strong enough
to activate your EasyPhone function. Most types of
telephones require an additional magnet fixed on the
receiver to activate this function.
Fixing the EasyPhone magnet
Clean the telephone handset
thoroughly.
Hold the telephone handset nearly
vertically, similarly to making
a telephone call. Hold the magnet
near to the “listening end” of your
telephone handset and release it.
The magnet will automatically flip
to the correct side.
If you hold the telephone
receiver in your right hand
when making telephone
calls, position the magnet in
the upper right half of the
receiver.
If you hold the telephone
receiver in your left hand
when making telephone
calls, position the magnet
in the upper left half of
the receiver.
Use the double-sided adhesive
tape to stick the magnet to
the location described above.
Do not cover the sound
openings of your handset.

Use of EasyPhone
Use the telephone in a normal manner. An acoustic
signal indicates the activation of the EasyPhone
program. At the beginning, you may need to move the
handset slightly to find the optimum position for a
reliable switching and comfortable hearing.
If necessary, move the magnet to another position on
the handset to increase your comfort of use.
Keep magnets out of reach of children and pets.
If a magnet is swallowed, please seek the advice
of a medical practitioner.
The magnet used to strengthen the magnetic
field of your phone may affect some medical
devices or electronic systems.
Always keep the magnet (or the telephone
equipped with the magnet) at least 30 cm (12”)
away from pacemakers, credit cards, floppy disks
or other magnetically sensitive devices.
Too high distortion during dialing or phoning
may mean that the phone receiver is stressed by
the magnet. To avoid any damage, please move
the magnet to another place on the telephone
receiver.
Operation
The myPilot command center is an optional accessory
for all Naída systems. It allows a convenient, user
friendly and discrete control of all the functions of your
hearing system and offers additional benefits.

and a receiver. The transmitter transmits the signal to
the receiver.

or transmitters, please refer to the appropriate user
guide or ask your hearing care professional.
