rionet HA-72P User manual

Boxed parts are consumables. Please ask your supplier
to buy them.
* Any adjustment should only be performed by your Audi-
ologist or hearing aid dispenser.
Connecting Earphone
Connect the hearing aid with the
earphone which must be con-
nected first with the cord.
Hold the plug when disconnecting
the cord; do not pull the cord.
The thicker pin of the plug goes
into the lager hole, as shown.
Battery Placement
Open the housing case at the back side as shown.
Insert an LR03 or AM4 battery into the battery compartment
with correct polarity.
The ribbon should be under the battery itself so that it may be
easily taken out.
Cautions: Special care must be taken in case the sound
pressure level exceeds 132 dB as this may further
impair the user's residual hearing.

HOW TO USE YOUR FIRST HEARING AID
Any hearing aid cannot return level of your hearing to normal or
halt further hearing deterioration, but proper use of your hearing
aid can help you hear what is going on around you and let you
get more enjoyment of life.
If this is your first hearing aid, you - like most new users - will
probably be surprised at the loudness of the sounds, and after
using it for a short while, you may even feel that it is too noisy. The
following three tips are important in overcoming your concerns.
1) Read this manual and become familiar with the hearing aid's
various mechanisms and how to use them correctly.
2) First, use your hearing aid in a quiet place and listen to quiet
sounds and give yourself sufficient time to get accustomed to
the sound of your hearing aid.
3) If any physical problems develop, consult your doctor.

- S - Switch
: Power off
Set to " " when the hearing aid is not in use.
S: Power on and noise suppressor will be acti-
vated according to noise levels.
Set to "S" when using the hearing aid in
noisy place.
: Microphone
Set to " " for ordinary use.
When taking off the hearing aid, set the switch to " ". If not,
acoustic feedback may occur.
M-MT Switch
M: Microphone
Set to "M" to hear sounds through the microphone.
MT: Microphone and Telephone Coil
Sounds through both the microphone and telephone
coil can be heard. Set to "MT" position when using
your hearing aid for telephone or induction loop
system in combination with the MT Balancer.
When the switch of the hearing aid is set to MT, noise may be
heard in the vicinity of electromagnetic fields, such as generated
for example by electronically secured gates or similar.

Volume Control
Adjust the sound volume to your comfortable level with the vol-
ume control.
The best position of the control will depend upon the distance
and voice of the person to whom you are talking; readjustment
may be necessary.
When using the hearing aid for the first time, set the control for
a minimum sound level to hear, then increase the volume gradu-
ally.
1. Set to "4" center click for ordinary use.
