Charging Your Hearing Aids
Your hearing aid uses a rechargeable battery as its power source.
To charge the battery:

resting inside the case.
3. Your hearing aids will turn off automatically and begin to charge.
• The front of the charger is equipped with two LED indicators
to provide information about hearing aid charging. The front
LED indicators will glow green to indicate successful charging.
• When the hearing aids are fully charged (approx 3.5 hrs charge
time), the front LED indicators will be solid green.
• Your hearing aids will automatically power on when removed from the charger.

Desiccant Puck
The desiccant puck will be effective for 3–6 months depending on moisture in the hearing

On-board Battery
• The back of the charger is equipped with four LED indicators to provide information about
the status of the on-board battery. The on-board battery allows charging of the hearing
aids up to three times while the charger is away from a power source.
• When away from a power source, the back LED indicators will be solid green indicating
the amount of charge available for the on-board battery. The LED indicators will turn off
after 10 seconds to preserve power.

Hearing Aid Care
Cleaning Your Hearing Aids
• Use the cleaning brush or soft cloth to clean debris from around the user control,
microphone, charging contacts, receiver and earmold.
• Never use water, solvents, cleaning fluids or oil to clean your hearing aid.
Cleaning Your Charger
• Use the provided cleaning brush to keep the charging ports clear of debris.
• Do not use water, solvents or cleaning fluids to clean the charging ports.
• Keep lid closed as much as possible to avoid dust and debris build up.
