How you can use the charger
You can use your charger in three di󰘯erent ways.
Charging via electrical outlet
When the charger is plugged in or placed on
a wireless Qi-charger, it charges the hearing
in󰘵ruments (if they are placed in the charger) and
it charges the integrated battery at the same time.
As long as the charger is being charged by an
external power source, charger LED shows the
charging 󰘵atus of the integrated battery and the LEDs for the
hearing in󰘵ruments show the 󰘵atus of the hearing in󰘵ruments.
For power saving after wireless charging, the LEDs will turn o󰘯 once
charger and hearing in󰘵ruments are fully charged.
Mobile charging
When you are mobile with no electrical outlet available,
you can 󰘵ill charge your hearing in󰘵ruments. Energy
is fed from the charger's integrated battery into your
