INSTALLING SILICONE EARTIP:
1. The ProSonic IIe™Hearing Sound Amplier comes with 3x
silicone ange ear tips each has its dierent head diameter
to accommodate to dierent size of ear canals. You may
want to try out all three sizes for your most comfortable t
and best listening result.
NOTE: The silicone ear tips that provided with the device are in
the low-prole ange design providing additional hold in the
ear to keep the device from falling o. More importantly, the
silicone ange ear tips helps stop feedbacks that generated by
the sound amplication unit travelling into the ear.
2. Place one of the three silicone ange ear tips onto the
receiver end of the device, holding the device with your left
hand twist to push gently the ear tip towards the device,
wiggle a bit to ensure it is securely positioned. A properly
installed ear tip should look like the illustration below.

INSTALLING & REPLACING BATTERY:
The battery compartment of the ProSonic IIe™Hearing
Sound Amplier is sized to t two of the AG13/LR-44 1.5V
Alkaline battery cells to operate on 3.0 volts. Battery polarity
is clearly marked on the bottom of its battery compartment.
To insure proper “t & function” between batteries and the
device, the battery polarity must be correctly observed
when inserting battery cells onto the battery compartment.
The steps below are to guide you through in installing or
replacing batteries for your ProSonic IIe Hearing Sound
Amplier.
1. Diagram on your left shows the battery compartment
cover of the device. Place securely the device in between
your index & middle ngers of your left hand, slightly push
the pivot towards inside the casing with the thumb of your
right hand, sliding backwards the battery compartment
door to release it.

INSTALLING & REPLACING BATTERY (cont’d):
4. Do not throw used battery cells in garbage. Follow the
by-laws of your municipal government for proper battery
disposal or recycling.
Battery life of each AG13/LR-44 Alkaline battery cell is in
approximately 14 hours of continuous use. To prolong life
of battery, turn the ProSonic IIe™Hearing Sound Amplier
o when not in use. For optimal performance, replacing
batteries in the device on a regular basis is recommended.
Though the device is designed to operate on 2 pieces of the
AG13/LR-44 1.5V Alkaline battery cells, you have the option
to use 675D zinc air hearing aid batteries as an alternative
power source. The 675D zinc air hearing aid batteries may
provide longer battery life per se.
Caution:
If you accidentally swallow button battery cells, immediately
call the 24-hours National Button Battery Ingestion Hotline
on [phone] for instructions in handling emergency.
