Changing the battery
Your WatchPilot2 has two batteries, one for the watch and one for the built-in remote
control. The batteries should be replaced only by qualified personnel (hearing care
professional or watch retailer). Unauthorized opening of the watch case may impair its
water resistance.
Battery types:
• Watch function, ladies’ model: No. 317 SR516SW
• Watch function, men’s model: No. 362 SR721SW
• Remote control, both models: CR 1620 (16 x 2 mm)
Battery life:
2–4 years (depending on usage)

10
• Watch function (men’s model only): When the seconds hand begins to jump 4 steps
forward every 4 seconds. This function is not available in the ladies’ model.
• Remote control (both models): When the red light in the dial briefly flashes 10 times
after a button has been pressed.
It is preferable to replace both batteries at the same time.

Caring for your WatchPilot2
• To clean the WatchPilot2, use only a soft cloth. Never use solvents or other cleaning
agents.
• Have your WatchPilot2 – and your hearing instruments – regularly checked by a
hearing care professional who can also adjust the wristband to the size of your
wrist.

12
• Have the batteries of your WatchPilot2 replaced only by qualified personnel.
• Strong magnetic fields (such as near computer screens) can interfere with the
transmission of the signal to the hearing instruments. In this case, try again after
having moved 1 to 2 meters away from the source of interference.
• Do not expose your WatchPilot2 to extreme temperatures (colder than –10°C or
hotter than +55°C) and avoid excessive shock and vibration.
• Your WatchPilot2 comes with a designer wristband that precisely matches the
shape of the watch case. Wear the WatchPilot2 only with an original WatchPilot2
wristband.
The symbol with the crossed out disposal bin indicates that this hearing instru-
ment shall not be treated as household waste. Please hand over your old or
unused hearing instrument to the applicable collection point for the recycling of
electrical and electronic equipment or bring your old hearing instrument to your hearing
