System Care
HEARING AID CARE
Keep your hearing aid clean. Heat, moisture and
foreign substances can result in poor performance.
• Use a cleaning brush or soft cloth to clean
debris from around the user control,
microphone and battery compartment.
• Inspect the receiver, earbud and wax guard
regularly.
• Never use water, solvents, cleaning fluids
or oil to clean your hearing aid.
CHARGER CARE
Keep your charger clean. Heat, moisture and foreign
materials can result in poor performance.
• 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 buildup.
• Store your charger in a clean and dry location
such as a dresser or shelf rather than the
bathroom or kitchen.
To ensure the longest life of your rechargeable
hearing aid batteries and the batteries in the charger:
• Fully charge hearing aid batteries every night.
• Do not expose to excess heat, i.e., do not store
on a window sill or in a hot car.
