Your hearing aids
This user guide describes optional features that your
hearing aids may or may not have.
Ask your Hearing Care Professional to indicate the
features that are valid for your hearing aids.
Inrument type
Your hearing aids are BTE (Behind-The-Ear) models. A
tube delivers the sound from the hearing aid into the ear.
The inruments are not intended for children under the age
of 3 years or persons with a developmental age of under
3 years.
A power cell (lithium-ion rechargeable battery) is
permanently built into your hearing aid. This enables easy
charging with our inductive charger.
The wireless functionality enables advanced audiological
features and synchronization between your two hearing
aids.
7
Your hearing aids feature Bluetooth® low energy* technology
allowing for easy data exchange with your smartphone, and
for seamless audio reaming with your iPhone**.
Getting to know your hearing aids
It is recommended to familiarize yourself with your new
hearing aids. With the inruments in your hand try using the
controls and note their location on the inrument. This will
make it easier for you to feel and press the controls while
wearing the hearing aids.
If you have problems pressing the controls of your
hearing aids while wearing them, you can ask your
Hearing Care Professional whether a remote control
or a smartphone app to control your inruments is
available.

inalling the smartphone app.
Charging

XFollow the inructions
in the charger's
user guide. You can
also nd useful tips
for charging in the
charger's user guide.
13
Low power indication
You will hear an alert signal to indicate the power cell is
running low. The signal will be repeated every 20 minutes.
Depending on the usage of your hearing aids, you have
approximately 1.5 hours to charge your hearing aids before
they op working.
Note that the power cell runtime is reduced if too many
features are used simultaneously.
Turning on and o
You have the following options to turn your hearing aids
on or o.
Via charger:
XTurning on: Take the inruments out of the charger.
The artup melody is played in your hearing aids. The
default volume and hearing program are set.
XTurning o: Place the hearing aids in the charger.
Note that the charger mu be connected to the power
supply. For details refer to the charger's user guide.

switch while the melody is playing.

Switching to andby mode
Via remote control or smartphone app, you can switch
your hearing aids to andby mode. This mutes the hearing
aids. When you leave andby mode, the previously used
volume and hearing program are set.
Note:
zIn andby mode, the hearing aids are not turned o
completely. They draw some power.
Therefore we recommend to use andby mode only for a
short period of time.
zIf you want to leave andby mode, but the remote control
or app is not at hand: Turn your hearing aids o and on
again (via rocker switch or by shortly placing them in the
charger until one or more orange LEDs light up). In this
case, the default volume and hearing program are set.
16
Inserting and removing the hearing aids
Your hearing aids have been ne-tuned for your right and
left ear. Colored markers indicate the side:
zred marker = right ear
zblue marker = left ear
Inserting a hearing aid:
XHold the tube close to the ear piece.
XCarefully push the ear piece into the
ear canal .
XTwi it slightly until it sits well.
Open and close your mouth to avoid
accumulation of air in the ear canal.
XLift the hearing aid and slide it over
the top of your ear .
CAUTION
Risk of injury!
XInsert the ear piece carefully and not too deeply
into the ear.
17
zIt may be helpful to insert the right hearing aid with
the right hand and the left hearing aid with the left
hand.
zIf you have problems inserting the ear piece,
use the other hand to gently pull your earlobe
downwards. This opens the ear canal and eases
insertion of the ear piece.
The optional retention rand helps to securely retain the
ear piece in your ear. To position the retention rand:
XBend the retention rand and position
it carefully into the bottom of the bowl of
your ear (refer to the picture).
18
Removing a hearing aid:
XLift the hearing aid and slide it
over the top of your ear .
XHold the tube close to the
ear piece and pull the ear piece
out carefully .

your ear when removing the hearing aid. If this
happens, have the ear piece removed by a medical
professional.

section "Maintenance and care".
