Welcome4
You have chosen one of our hearing instruments, a
reliable partner to accompany you through everday life.
Like everything new, it will take you a little while to
become familiar with it.
This document, along with support from your Hearing
Care Professional, will help you. You will quickly come to
appreciate the advantages and greater quality of life your
hearing instrument offers.
CAUTION
Read this user guide thoroughly and completely
and follow the safety information in this document
to avoid damage or injury.
To benefit most from your hearing instrument, wear it
daily and all day long. Especially after longer periods of
living with hearing loss, a dedicated hearing training is
recommended - with a Hearing Care Professional or at
home.

hearing instruments. With the instruments in your hand
try using the controls and note their location on the
instrument. This will make it easier for you to feel and
press the controls while wearing the hearing instruments.
NOTICE
XDo not pull the receiver
connection as this could damage
your hearing instruments.
If you have problems pressing the controls of your
hearing instruments while wearing them, you can
ask your Hearing Care Professional about a remote
control option.
