General
Right/left identification
If you wear hearing aids on both ears,
your hearing care professional can
put coloured marks on your hearing
aids so you can easily see which is for
the right ear and which is for the left
ear (red mark = right and blue mark =
left).
The arrow shows the position of the
right/left identification mark.

The battery
The recommended battery type for your hearing aid
is:
Zinc Air battery type 10
To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your
hearing care professional. It is important to take note
of the expiry date and the recommendations regarding
disposal of used batteries on the battery pack. To en-
sure proper battery function, do not use batteries past
the expiry date. The battery life will depend on a
number of factors, such as the setting of your hearing
aid, how many hours you use it daily and the listening
environments in which you use it.
