Getting to know your hearing instruments
It is recommended to familiarize yourself with your new
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.
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.

When the battery is low the sound becomes weaker or
you will hear an alert signal. It depends on the battery
type how long you have until you have to replace the
battery.
Your Hearing Care Professional can congure the LED
to indicate the battery status. However, the hearing
instrument must be turned on to indicate the status:
■ When the battery is full, the LED shines constantly.
■ When the battery is low, the LED ashes repeatedly,
approximately every 5 seconds until the battery is
empty.
■ When the battery is empty, the LED goes out.
When the battery compartment is locked, you
need a tool to open it. Read more in section
"Child lock".
