On, Off and Volume Levels
To turn ON:
Insert a battery and completely close the
battery door.
To turn OFF:
Open the battery door until the battery is no longer

Some hearing systems have been programmed
with a power-on delay allowing additional time
to place the hearing system in your ear before it
starts working. Your hearing care professional will
check the box below if your hearing system has this
feature activated.
Your hearing system has been set to a specific
volume level by your hearing care professional. If
sounds are generally too loud or too soft, please
contact your hearing care professional for advice
and adjustment.
Operation
My hearing instrument has power-on delay:
Yes No

When you press the Multimemory button, you

Operation
Telephone Use
Your hearing system has an Automatic Telephone
Response that enables you to comfortably use
the telephone without removing your hearing
instrument. Place the telephone handset in a
normal position. When correctly positioned, you
will hear an indicator for the automatic activation of
the telephone program.
Some hearing aid users have reported a buzzing
sound in their hearing aids when they are using cell
phones, indicating that the cell phone and hearing
aid may not be compatible. According to the ANSI
C63.19 standard (ANSI C63.19-2006 American
National Standard Methods of Measurement of
Compatibility Between Wireless Communications
Devices and Hearing Aids), the compatibility of
a particular hearing aid and cell phone can be
predicted by adding the rating for the hearing aid
immunity to the rating for the cell phone emissions.
For example, the sum of a hearing aid rating of 2
(M2/T2) and a telephone rating of 3 (M3/T3) would
result in a combined rating of 5. Any combined
rating that equals at least 5 would provide “normal
use”; a combined rating of 6 or greater would
indicate “excellent performance.”

15
Operation
The immunity of this hearing aid is at least M2.
The equipment performance measurements,
categories and system classifications are based
upon the best information available but cannot
guarantee that all users will be satisfied.
NOTE: The performance of individual hearing aids
may vary with individual cell phones. Therefore,
please try this hearing aid with your cell phone
or, if you are purchasing a new phone, be sure to
try it with your hearing aid prior to purchase. For
additional guidance, please ask your cell phone
provider for the booklet entitled “Hearing Aid
Compatibility with Digital Wireless Cell Phones.”

16
Operation
Self Check
Some hearing systems can run a diagnostic test of
their own performance. This feature is called Self
Check. Your hearing care professional will check the
box below if this feature is activated.
To perform the Self Check:
1. Open and close the battery door three times.
2. Place the hearing system in your ear.
3. Listen for the status indicator.
4. Schedule an appointment with your
hearing care professional, if needed.
Your Self Check feature is activated.
Your Self Check indicator is a:
Speech Indicator (Good, Make appointment)
Tone Indicator

17
Reminder
Some hearing systems have been programmed
with a Reminder indicating that it is time to
schedule an appointment. Your hearing care
professional will check the box below if this feature
is activated.
The Reminder will occur automatically. When you
hear the Reminder indicator, please contact your
hearing care professional.
