Features of your Passport™ Hearing
Instrument
Passport™premium hearing instruments come
equipped with the following features:
• Automatic listening program
• Optional Smart Control gives you access to 3
additional manual programs and the ability to
adjust and personalize clarity and comfort settings
via smartFocus
It may take some time for you to fully adjust to your
new hearing instruments. In the beginning, do not feel
as though you need to wear them for longer than is
comfortable. Depending on your previous experience
with hearing instruments, you can increase wearing
time gradually until you have fully adjusted to them.
Eventually, you should wear your hearing instruments
all day every day.
Please consult your hearing healthcare professional
regarding any adjustments you may require to ensure
that you are happy with your hearing instrument. For
instance, pitch and loudness of the beeps can be
adjusted or turned off entirely. Also note that this is a
general guide and your hearing healthcare
professional may have enabled or disengaged certain
features depending on your requirements.

Inserting and Removing your Hearing
Instruments
Your hearing instruments are color-coded red for the
right ear and blue for the left ear. The color is indicated
either by the label on the outside of the hearing device
or by the shell color.
To insert your hearing instrument:
1. Hold the hearing instrument between your thumb
and index finger with the battery door away from
your ear and the dome towards your ear canal.
2. If your hearing instrument has the secure-fit tab,
position it towards the top.
3. Gently push the dome portion into your ear until
the instrument is seated comfortably and the
secure-fit tab (if equipped) is resting against the
ear.
To remove your hearing instrument:
1. Gently pull on the removal handle.
2. Move your jaw up and down to help loosen the
instrument.
Note: Do not use the secure-fit tab or the battery
door to remove your hearing devices.

Battery Information
Low Battery Warning
When you hear two long beeps, your hearing
instruments are warning you that their batteries are
low. You will hear the warning approximately every 30
minutes until you change the batteries or the batteries
die. After the first warning, you may experience some
reduction in sound quality. This is normal and can be
remedied by inserting fresh batteries in the hearing
instruments. If you prefer, your hearing health care
professional can change the pitch and loudness of the
low battery beep or turn it off entirely.
Replacing the Battery
1. Gently swing out the battery door with your
fingernail.
2. Grasp the battery with your thumb and index finger
and remove.
3. Insert the new battery
into the battery
compartment with the
plus (+) sign on the
battery facing the same
way as the plus (+) sign
on the edge of the battery
door.
