Batteries

Your hearing aid uses a battery as its power source. To insert or replace the battery:

Use the fingerpick on the battery door.
Open the battery door gently and remove the old battery.
Remove the colored tab from the new battery. Wait 3–5 minutes after removing the tab before inserting the battery.
Insert into the battery door, “+” side up.
Close the battery door.

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.
Do not open the battery door too far or damage is likely to occur.
Dispose of used batteries immediately in the proper waste or recycling container.

Battery IndicatorsAn indicator will sound when the battery voltage is low. You have approximately 30 minutes * to replace the battery. An indicator may also sound just before the battery stops working.

Power On & Off

TO TURN ON:Insert a battery and completely close the battery door. Your hearing aid has a power‑on delay which may require a few seconds. You may hear a tone indicating that your hearing aid is powered on.TO TURN OFF:Open the battery door until the battery is no longer touching the battery contacts.

Hearing Aid CareKeep your hearing aid clean. Heat, moisture, and foreign substances can result in poor performance.

The actual time between low battery indicator and shutdown will vary depending on environmental noise levels and the brand of battery used.
Use a cleaning brush or soft cloth to clean debris from around the user control, microphone, and battery compartment.
Inspect the receiver, earbud, and wax guard regularly.
Never use water, solvents, cleaning fluids, or oil to clean your hearing aid.
