AInserting and removing your CIELO 2 Active
Place your hearing instrument
behind your ear and turn it on by
completely closing the battery
compartment.
To remove your hearing instru-
ment hold the receiver unit
between your thumb and index
finger and carefully pull it out.
Note:
Do not use lubricant when you insert the receiver unit,
because it may clog the sound outlet.

Make sure that your hearing
instrument is turned off by ope-
ning the battery compartment to
the first stop (page 6). Hold the
receiver with the dome between
your thumb and index finger and
insert it carefully into the ear
canal. You may find it helpful to
pull your ear slightly upward or
to the back.

Turning your CIELO 2 Active on and off
Power-on delay
Your CIELO 2 Active hearing instrument is equipped
with a “power-on delay” feature which can be activated
by your Hearing Care Professional. This allows you
to turn the hearing instrument on with an automatic
delay of 12 seconds, so that you may insert the hearing
instrument into your ear without experiencing
unpleasant feedback (whistling).
5
To turn on
Fully close the battery compartment to turn the
instrument ON.
To turn off
Press the battery compartment downward to the first
stop to turn the instrument OFF.

Handling standard and rechargeable batteries
Battery insertion and removal
You can either use a standard battery or a rechargeable
battery in your CIELO 2 Active hearing instrument.
Always use a size 13 battery.
If using a rechargeable battery, you need to charge it
before first use.
If using a standard battery,
remove the tab only when
you are ready to use it.
Inserting

with your fingernail as shown in
the illustration.

Swivel open the battery compartment door. Insert the
proper size battery into the battery compartment door
so that the “+” symbol on the battery coincides with
the “+” marked on the battery compartment.
Close the battery compartment by gently pressing the
bottom of the door upward with your fingertip. Do not
force the door shut. If it does not close easily, check
to see if the battery was inserted properly.

Removing
Normally the battery drops out when the compartment
is completely open. If the battery does not come out,
lightly tap on the case.
Low battery indicator
Your hearing instrument may be programmed to
inform you when the battery is nearly empty. If you
hear an intermittent series of beeps or experience low
amplification power, replace or charge the battery.
Using a remote control
If you have the optional ePocket remote control, the
battery status can be checked using the “battery read
out” function. (See the ePocket user guide for more
information.)

Using the charger
Information about the charger
Use only rechargeable batteries with your CIELO 2 Active
instrument(s) that are delivered with your CIELO 2 Active
charger. The lifetime of a rechargeable battery is approxi-
mately 1–2 years, depending on individual use.
The CIELO 2 Active charger is simple to operate. You can
place two hearing instruments with attached receiver
units and domes in the charger at one time. A charging
cycle takes around 5 hours. The charger shuts itself off
when the charging cycle is completed. Your CIELO 2 Ac-
tive is now ready for full day and evening of use, depen-
ding on the environment in which you wear your hearing
instruments.
Note:
Do not attempt to charge standard, nonrechargeable
batteries!
