Charging inspiro
inspiro contains a re-chargeable built-in state-of-the-
art lithium polymer battery with fast-charge capability.
A fully-discharged battery takes one hour for an 80%
charge and two hours for a 100% charge.
Select an easily accessible
socket outlet and plug
the charging unit into the
socket outlet.
Connect the MiniUSB plug
from the charging unit to
the inspiro.
Use only the original Phonak charging unit
for insprio.
The segments in the battery symbol flash during
charging. The battery cannot be over-charged.
If the charging unit is
removed from the inspiro,
the segments in the
battery symbol show the
actual capacity.
If the battery is fully
charged, the battery
symbol in the LCD
shows four segments.

Low battery alarms
inspiro provides an automatic vibra alarm if the
battery is low.
•Approximately 1 hour before battery is empty:
A vibra alarm appears. Check the message
on the LCD and follow the instructions.
•Approximately 15 minutes before battery is
empty:
If inspiro has not been charged after the first
alarm, the second vibra alarm is automatically
activated before the battery is completely
exhausted. Check the message on the LCD and
follow the instructions. If the battery is not
being charged at that time, inspiro switches off
automatically after approx. 15 minutes.
If the battery is completely exhausted, there are
no segments in the battery symbol anymore and the
battery symbol in the LCD changes its color from
white to red.
