Charging tips
You may have some que󰘵ions on how to be󰘵 charge your

below. If you have more que󰘵ions, your Hearing Care
Professional will help you.

"How often do I need to charge the hearing
in󰄋ruments?
We recommend charging the hearing in󰘵ruments daily,
even if the power cell is not empty. Charge them overnight
so you can be sure to 󰘵art your day with fully-charged
hearing in󰘵ruments.
"
How long does charging take?
A full charging cycle takes approximately 3 to 4 hours.
After 30 minutes, it is possible to use your hearing
in󰘵ruments for up to 7 hours.
Charging times may vary due to the use of the hearing
in󰘵ruments and the age of the power cell.
Charger BTE P SP and RIC [EN].indd 14 26-03-2021 09:35:49

15
"Can I leave the hearing in󰄋ruments in the charger?
Even when fully charged, you can leave the hearing
in󰘵ruments in the charger. They automatically 󰘵op charging
when they are fully charged.
"
What happens if I forgot to charge?
Your hearing in󰘵ruments will automatically switch-o󰘯 when
the power cell is empty. Charge the hearing in󰘵ruments as
soon as possible.
Hearing in󰘵ruments which have not been charged for over
6 months may be damaged due to an unrecoverable deep-
discharge of the power cell. Deep‑discharged power cells
cannot be charged anymore and have to be replaced.

"What if I intend not to use the hearing in󰄋ruments
for several days or longer?
● Short-term 󰘵orage (up to several days): Turn o󰘯 your
hearing in󰘵ruments via the push button or place them in
the powered charger.
The charger mu󰘵 be connected to the power supply.
If the charger is not connected to power supply and
you place your hearing in󰘵ruments in the charger, the
hearing in󰘵ruments are not turned o󰘯.
Note that when you turn o󰘯 the hearing in󰘵ruments
via a remote control or smartphone app, the hearing
in󰘵ruments are not turned o󰘯 completely. They are in
󰘵andby-mode and 󰘵ill draw some power.
Charger BTE P SP and RIC [EN].indd 16 26-03-2021 09:35:49

17
● Long-term 󰘵orage (weeks, months, ...): Fir󰘵, fully
charge your hearing in󰘵ruments. Turn them o󰘯 via the
push button before 󰘵oring them. We recommend to use
drying products while 󰘵oring the hearing in󰘵ruments.
At 6 month intervals you will have to charge the hearing
in󰘵ruments to avoid an unrecoverable deep-discharge
of the power cell. Deep‑discharged power cells cannot
be charged anymore and they have to be replaced. We
recommend recharging more frequently than 6 months
intervals.
Observe the 󰘵orage conditions in hearing in󰘵ruments'
user guide.
Ask your Hearing Care Professional for recommended
drying products.

"What should I pay attention to when charging?
The hearing in󰘵ruments and charger mu󰘵 be clean
and dry. Observe the operation conditions in section
"Operating, transport, and 󰘵orage conditions". Avoid
charging at high ambient temperatures, as this can shorten
the life span and capacity of the power cell.
If you use the charger in a very warm environment, note that
it will 󰘵op charging in order to cool down if the charger's
temperature exceeds 45 °C. The LED light will blink 3
times in 2 seconds when this happens. Charging resumes
automatically after the device has cooled down. Do not
touch the hearing in󰘵ruments, they may be hot.

"What should I pay attention to when using a power
󰄋rip with energy-saving features?
● Turn on the power 󰘵rip before you insert the hearing
in󰘵ruments in the charger. Otherwise, the hearing
in󰘵ruments may not be detected by the charger.
● Do not turn o󰘯 the power 󰘵rip while the hearing
in󰘵ruments are in charger. Otherwise the hearing
in󰘵ruments will automatically turn on and discharge in
the charger.
Before you turn o󰘯 the power 󰘵rip, remove the hearing
in󰘵ruments from the charger and turn them o󰘯 via the
push button.
