How to Install ZPower Batteries
Your hearing instrument uses a battery as its power source. You’re able
to use both ZPower rechargeable batteries and disposable 312 zinc air
batteries in your hearing aids. Your ZPower batteries come fully charged
and are ready for use.
To insert or replace the rechargeable battery:
1. Open the battery door
2. Place the battery inside the battery door (gold side up)
3. Close the battery door.
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.
• Dispose of used batteries immediately in the proper waste or
recycling container.

Maintenance
Proper use will help to extend the life of your battery.
Battery Tips
• Charge the batteries regularly before wearing them.
• Charge the batteries at temperatures between 50°F (10°C) and 104°F (40°C).
• Don’t place the batteries in the charger if the charger is unplugged, this will drain
the batteries.
• If you don’t intend to use your hearing aids for several days, remove the batteries.
• Your rechargeable battery should last for approximately one year, and can be easily
replaced by your hearing professional at that time.

How to Charge Your Hearing Aids
2. Wait 3-4 Hours
When the green lights are blinking, your hearing aids
are charging. When the lights stop blinking and turn
solid green, your hearing aids are completely charged.
3. Remove, And Wear Your Hearing Aids
Pick up your hearing aids by the base of the hearing
aid, NOT by the cable. Your hearing aids will turn on
automatically when removed from the charger.
You can remove your hearing aids before they’re
completely charged, but they won’t last as long as
when they’re fully charged. It’s best to leave your
hearing aids in the charger any time you’re not
using them. They won’t overcharge, so be sure to
charge your hearing aids at the end of each day.
Charging Your Hearing Aid
To get started, plug the power cord into the USB wall adapter and into a power
outlet. When it’s first plugged in, both charger lights will briefly turn green.
1. Place Your Hearing Aids on the Charger
Hold your hearing aids by their base (not the cable),
and place them in the charging slot. Both the cables
and receivers should be facing the same side of the
charger as the power cable. When your hearing aids
are correctly placed, both lights will begin blinking
green. Note: Hearing aids automatically turn off
when placed into the charger. There is no need to
open your battery door.
