Charging tips

You may have some queions on how to be charge your

hearing inruments. Read the queions and answers

below. If you have more queions, your Hearing Care

Professional will help you.

14

" How often do I need to charge the hearing

inruments?

We recommend charging the hearing inruments daily,

even if the power cell is not empty. Charge them overnight

so you can be sure to art your day with fully-charged

hearing inruments.

"

How long does charging take?

A full charging cycle takes approximately 3 to 4 hours.

After 30 minutes, it is possible to use your hearing

inruments for up to 7 hours.

Charging times may vary due to the use of the hearing

inruments and the age of the power cell.

Charger BTE P SP and RIC [EN].indd 14 26-03-2021 09:35:49

15

" Can I leave the hearing inruments in the charger?

Even when fully charged, you can leave the hearing

inruments in the charger. They automatically op charging

when they are fully charged.

"

What happens if I forgot to charge?

Your hearing inruments will automatically switch-o when

the power cell is empty. Charge the hearing inruments as

soon as possible.

Hearing inruments which have not been charged for over

6 months may be damaged due to an unrecoverable deep-

discharge of the power cell. Deep‑discharged power cells

cannot be charged anymore and have to be replaced.

16

" What if I intend not to use the hearing inruments

for several days or longer?

● Short-term orage (up to several days): Turn o your

hearing inruments via the push button or place them in

the powered charger.

The charger mu be connected to the power supply.

If the charger is not connected to power supply and

you place your hearing inruments in the charger, the

hearing inruments are not turned o.

Note that when you turn o the hearing inruments

via a remote control or smartphone app, the hearing

inruments are not turned o completely. They are in

andby-mode and ill draw some power.

Charger BTE P SP and RIC [EN].indd 16 26-03-2021 09:35:49

17

● Long-term orage (weeks, months, ...): Fir, fully

charge your hearing inruments. Turn them o via the

push button before oring them. We recommend to use

drying products while oring the hearing inruments.

At 6 month intervals you will have to charge the hearing

inruments to avoid an unrecoverable deep-discharge

of the power cell. Deep‑discharged power cells cannot

be charged anymore and they have to be replaced. We

recommend recharging more frequently than 6 months

intervals.

Observe the orage conditions in hearing inruments'

user guide.

Ask your Hearing Care Professional for recommended

drying products.

" What should I pay attention to when charging?

The hearing inruments and charger mu be clean

and dry. Observe the operation conditions in section

"Operating, transport, and orage conditions". Avoid

charging at high ambient temperatures, as this can shorten

the life span and capacity of the power cell.

If you use the charger in a very warm environment, note that

it will op charging in order to cool down if the charger's

temperature exceeds 45 °C. The LED light will blink 3

times in 2 seconds when this happens. Charging resumes

automatically after the device has cooled down. Do not

touch the hearing inruments, they may be hot.

" What should I pay attention to when using a power

rip with energy-saving features?

● Turn on the power rip before you insert the hearing

inruments in the charger. Otherwise, the hearing

inruments may not be detected by the charger.

● Do not turn o the power rip while the hearing

inruments are in charger. Otherwise the hearing

inruments will automatically turn on and discharge in

the charger.

Before you turn o the power rip, remove the hearing

inruments from the charger and turn them o via the

push button.
