1. Micro USB port
Power on
When the charger is connected to the power supply, the light indicators
flash white 5 times and then turn off:
The charger is now in standby mode and ready to charge your hearing aid.
9

Charging the hearing aid
Gently place your hearing aid in the charging well. The hearing aid turns off
automatically.
When connected to power, the charger can charge two hearing aids simul-
taneously; however, each hearing aid can be charged individually, depend-
ing on the state of the hearing aid.
This means that if one hearing aid is fully charged and placed in the charger,
it will not charge.
However, if the other hearing aid is not charged, it will charge.
Charging your hearing aid fully will take approximately 4 hours. If you
charge your hearing aid for half an hour, you will have approximately 4
hours of use.

yellow:

wire/tube, as this could damage the connection to the hearing aid.
