Battery Care
The Ulite 2000 uses a 312A zinc air battery as its power source. The
performance of the hearing instrument greatly depends on the quality of
the battery used.
3
It is important to use high-quality batteries. With reliable high-
quality batteries, you can avoid periodic hearing instrument
failures.
It is also important that the batteries are well packed before use.
Each battery is therefore provided with an adhesive label which
ensures the battery is sealed and fresh till use.
Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing instrument.
Exhausted battery may leak and it will cause serious damage to
the instrument.

NOTE: Batteries are dangerous if swallowed! Keep batteries away from
children and pets. In case a battery has been swallowed, seek
immediate medical attention.
Low Battery Warning
When you hear one short beep, it means that the battery is running out.
Intermittent warning exists until you replace the battery. The sound
quality may be influenced after the first warning, this is normal and can
be remedied by inserting a fresh battery in the hearing instrument.
Always remove the battery if your instrument is not in use for long
periods of time.
Replacing the Battery
Caution: Do not force the battery door closed. Please check that the
battery is inserted correctly in the battery door before closing.
It will usually take a few seconds before the new battery works. This is
because the battery is not activated until air gets inside.

1. Open the battery door and remove the old battery.
2. Remove the adhesive label from the new battery.
3. Insert the new battery and ensure that the plus (+) sign is facing up
in the opened battery door.
4. Close the battery door.

Operating
Turn on your hearing instrument by closing the battery door
completely.
Turn off your hearing instrument by opening the battery door
slightly.

Attaching Hearing Amplifier Parts
1. Gently push the dome over the grooves of the end of the sound tube.
2. Once the dome and tube are properly aligned at the tip, make sure
the hole in the dome tip is aligned with the sound hole at the tip of the
earpiece.
Before insertion, it is helpful to practice good ear hygiene and not have
any impacted wax in the ear canal. It is also recommended that the
hearing devices are turned on with the battery door closed. Follow the
procedure for inserting your instrument.

How to Wear Your Hearing Instrument
1. Hold the tubing with your thumb and index finger close to the earpiece
and gently insert it into the ear.
2. Place the part of the hearing device that contains the battery, over the
top of the ear.
3. Gently insert the earpiece further in the ear canal until it feels snug
and comfortable.
You may hear the instrument ‘squeal’ or “whistle” while inserting. That is
a natural indication that the battery is good and device working. Once it
is properly inserted, the whistling should stop.

Your hearing amplifier is programmed with 4 different listening
programs. When the hearing instrument is turned on, it will
automatically be in program 1.
The additional settings which are pre-programmed for your specific
needs are accessed by the SOUNDWEAR® App. The sequence is 1, 2,
3, and 4. The Ulite 2000 is equipped with the adaptive directional (dual)
microphones function. Adaptive directional microphones can provide
improved speech recognition in noise.
Program 1: All Around (Single Microphone)
Program 2: Restaurant (Dual Microphone)
Program 3: Traffic (Single Microphone)
Program 4: Outdoor (Dual Microphone)
Your hearing amplifier will alert and help you identify which program
you are using. When you select program 1 you will hear one beep,
program 2 will emit two beeps, etc.
Note: The programs are preset by the manufacturer.

Cleaning
Do not use water or other fluids to clean the hearing instruments. There
should always be care in handling the hearing instrument to prevent
them from falling onto any hard surfaces, such as counter top, table or
floor. Do not leave your hearing instrument in the direct sun or in areas
where the temperature can rise over 60°C / 140°F for extended periods
of time. Avoid cleaning with any harsh chemicals or strong cleaners.
Keep the hearing instrument clean and dry. Please use a soft cloth to
clean and remove any body oil or moisture from the shell of the hearing
instrument. If the hearing device is often in a moist environment or
subject to a lot of perspiration, it is recommended to put the hearing
instruments that are turned off into a dry box at least once a week. You
can buy the dry box buy visiting the retailer where you purchased your
device.

Troubleshooting

1. What if the it is not loud enough?
Try to adjust your volume in the app to get better hearing results. Then,
clean the tube and dome to ensure the passageway is clear. If it is still
not loud enough, you may want to contact your physician and get a
hearing exam done.
2. What if my device isn't turning on?
Be sure that the battery is inserted properly and the battery door is
completely closed.
3. There is no sound?
First, check if the battery is low or dead. Replace the battery and be sure
it is inserted correctly. If this does not solve your problem, try cleaning
the tube and dome to ensure the passageway is clear.
4. How can I get replacement domes/tubes?
Please contact the store where you purchased your device or contact
the manufacturer.
5. How long will my device last?
The unit is of professional quality and will last for many years provided it
does not get wet or physically damaged.
