SmartStart
Hearing instruments can be turned on once you have placed them on your ears. If you prefer to
turn them on just prior to placing them in your ears, your hearing care professional can activate
a function called SmartStart. This function will delay the time in which the hearing instruments
turn on by several seconds after the battery compartment is closed. With SmartStart, a beep
will be heard for each second of the delay period.

Inserting/Replacing the battery
Open the battery door completely by using your fingernail.
1. Remove the used battery if present. Insert the new battery
with the positive side in the correct position. The battery door
has a ‘+’ indicator to help determine the correct insertion.
2. Always use new Zinc-Air batteries that have a
minimum remaining shelf life of 1 year
3. Gently close the battery door.
Tip: Remove the batteries to prevent battery leakage or
corrosion when the hearing instruments are not in use for
an extended period of time.
