Getting started
On/Off function
1. When the battery door is closed, the hearing instrument turns on,
and the default program will be activated.
2. To turn off the hearing instrument, open the battery door. Use your
fingernail to pull it open.
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 on your ear, your hearing care professional
can activate a function called SmartStart. This function will delay the time in which the hearing instruments
turn on by ten 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
1. Open the battery door completely by using your fingernail. Remove the used battery if present.
2. Prepare the new battery (please refer to page 7 for information on appropriate battery type/size for your
hearing instrument). Remove the protective foil and wait 2 minutes before inserting the battery into the
hearing instrument to allow activation of the battery.
3. Insert the new battery with the positive side in the
correct position.
4. Gently close the battery door.
