Batteries
Your hearing system uses a battery as its power
source. This battery size can be identified by the
orange (13), brown (312), or yellow (10) color code on
the packaging.
To insert or replace the battery:
1. Use the nail grip on the battery door.
2. Open the battery door gently and remove
the old battery.
3. Remove the tab from the new battery.
4. Line up the battery’s “+” sign (flat side of the
battery) with the “+” on the battery door.
5. Close the battery door.

Battery Indicators
An indicator will sound when the battery voltage is
low. You have approximately 5 minutes* to replace the
battery. An indicator will sound just before the battery
stops working.
* Actual time between low battery indicator and shut
down will vary depending on environmental noise levels
and brand of battery used.
Helpful Hints
• NEVER FORCE THE BATTERY DOOR SHUT;
this could result in serious damage; if the door
will not close securely, check that the battery is
inserted correctly.
• Do not open the battery door too far or damage is
likely to occur.
• Because of their size, it’s a good idea to change and
replace batteries above a table or desk to reduce
the risk of dropping the instrument or battery.
• Dispose of used batteries immediately in the proper
waste or recycling container.
• Because batteries can vary in size and performance,
your hearing care professional is your best source for
lifespan estimates and verification that you are using
the proper size and type.
