The battery can only be inserted when the latch is
open 햺. Move the latch over the inserted battery 햻
so that it lies against it. Lock the battery by pushing
towards the hearing instrument with your finger 햽.
Before you close the battery compartment, check that
the latch is locked in position and the battery can’t
be removed.

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

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

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.
