Replacing the battery
Handle the battery cover gently and do not use
excessive force.
Do not try to open the cover further than shown
on the drawing.
If there is any resistance when closing the cover,
ensure that the battery is correctly inserted.
The cover will not close if the battery is inserted
upside down.
When your hearing system is not in use, leave the
battery compartments open to allow any moisture
to evaporate.
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 and
the hearing system will repeat the low battery warning
approximately every 30 minutes.

10
Preparation
Inserting Savia Art in your ear
If possible, select the mute mode (see page 19) before
insertion to avoid whistling.
Alternatively, your hearing care professional may
have activated a delayed activation timer. This function
delays the activation of the hearing system
(for 9 or 15 seconds) after the battery door was closed.
Before insertion, please ensure that you are using the
proper left and right hearing systems. Your hearing
systems are identified as follows:
Blue = left hearing system
Red = right hearing system

11
Grasp the hearing system between the thumb and
index finger, using the hand on the same side you wear
your hearing system. Insert it canal end first into
the ear canal. Tug gently on your ear lobe and push the
hearing system into the correct position.

12
Preparation
Removing Savia Art from your ear
If possible, select the mute mode (see page 19) before
removing your Savia Art to avoid whistling.
• Savia Art with removal handle
Grasp the handle between your thumb and index
finger and pull the hearing system upwards out of
your ear.

13
• Savia Art without a removal handle
Put your thumb behind your lobe, (just below the
hard cartilage) and gently press your ear upward
to push the hearing system out of the canal. In
order to help it along, make chewing movements
with your jaw.
Grasp the protruding
hearing system and remove it.

14
Preparation
Fine tuning based on your personal preferences
The fitting process has limited capabilities of reproducing
the full spectrum of your personal sound environments.
This limitation is now overcome by the ability of Savia
Art hearing system to learn from your real life volume
adjustments. Savia Art hearing system offers a unique
functionality called “Self Learning”. In every environment,
it logs your personal volume changes within the hearing
instrument. This means that every time you change the
volume of your Savia Art hearing system, this correction
is taken into account to apply your preferred volume
automatically when you are in a similar environment next
time.
Self Learning cleverly ensures that your volume
corrections in each environment contribute to a fully
personalized volume setting.

15
Operation
Switching ON/OFF
Switching ON:
The hearing system is switched ON
when the battery cover is closed.
Switching OFF:
To switch the hearing system OFF,
open the battery cover.

16
When switched ON, your Savia Art hearing system is
automatically set at the preset gain and in your default
hearing program.
Your hearing care professional may have delayed the
activation of your Savia Art hearing system after
switching ON (9 or 15 seconds), in order to avoid any
disturbance while placing it in your ear. The activation
is confirmed by an acoustic signal.
Note:
The mute mode may be used as manual or remote
controlled ON/OFF function, allowing you to switch your
hearing system OFF for a short period of time (i.e. while
inserting or removing the instrument, short breaks etc.).
Please be aware that the mute mode still consumes
some energy from the battery.
Operation

Notes:

manual volume control.
Operation

19
Selecting a hearing program
Automatic program selection
The program selection in Savia Art is fully automatic
(mode A). This sophisticated hearing system is able to
recognize different hearing environments and
to automatically select the most appropriate hearing
program.
Program switch (optional)
The program switch allows toggling between the
“Automatic Mode” and the “Mute Mode”. A short melody
confirms the selection of the “Automatic Mode”.

20
Enhanced program selection:
Upon request, your hearing care professional can
program for you additional individual hearing programs
dedicated to specific hearing situations. Additional
programs are available via remote control (see page 24)
and/or with the optional program switch.
Important:
Ask your hearing care professional to print out the
complete description of your individual hearing
programs and how to access them with your remote
control and/or your program switch.
Telecoil (T-coil) (optional)
Your hearing care professional may have activated
a T-coil in your Savia Art 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).
