WARNING
This booklet contains important information and instructions.
Please read this booklet carefully before you start using the
hearing aid.
NOTE
Your hearing aid and accessories may not look exactly as illus-
trated in this booklet. We also reserve the right to make any
changes considered necessary.

Intended use
The hearing aids are intended as air conduction amplifi-
cation devices to be used in everyday listening environ-
ments. The hearing aids may be provided with the Zen
program intended to provide a relaxing sound back-
ground (i.e. music/noise source) for adults who desire
to listen to such a background in quiet.

Your hearing aid may be provided with a listening pro-
gram called Zen. It makes musical tones (and some-
times a rushing noise) in the background. These sounds
are shaped according to your hearing loss.

Acoustic indicators
The hearing aid may be set to produce a signal to indi-
cate the use of certain functions. The signal may be a
spoken message or tones. The signal can also be deac-
tivated.

The battery
We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 10 battery
for the hearing aid.
To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your
hearing care professional. It is important to take note of
the expiry date and the recommendations on the bat-
tery pack regarding disposal of used batteries.
Inserting the battery
Before inserting a new battery into the
hearing aid, remember to remove the adhe-
sive tab. Once the tab has been removed,
the battery will start functioning after a few
seconds.
CAUTION
Do not use batteries if there is a sticky residue from the tab or
other unwanted substance, as this can cause the hearing aid to
malfunction.

9
Use the nail grip to open the
battery drawer. Do not press the
battery drawer beyond the open
position.
Place the battery in the drawer so that the small plus (+)
sign on the battery is visible when you hold the hear-
ing aid as shown.
You can use the battery magnet provided to steer the
battery into place.
If the battery drawer does not close easily, the battery
is incorrectly inserted.
When changing battery, it is a good idea to hold the
hearing aid over a table.

10
Low battery indication
An acoustic indicator will sound when the battery is
nearly exhausted, unless this function has been disa-
bled (see page 7). We recommend that you always
have a spare battery with you.
WARNING
Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing aid. Exhausted
batteries may leak, damaging the hearing aid.
WARNING
Your hearing aid may stop functioning, for instance if the
battery is exhausted. You should be aware of this possibility, in
particular when you are in traffic or are otherwise dependent
on warning signals.
