How you can use the charger
You can use your charger in three dierent ways.
Charging via electrical outlet
When the charger is plugged in or placed
on a wireless Qi-charger, it charges the
hearing inruments (if they are placed in
the charger) and it charges the integrated
battery at the same time.
As long as the charger is being charged
by an external power source, charger LED shows the
charging atus of the integrated battery and the LEDs for
the hearing inruments show the atus of the hearing
inruments.
For power saving after wireless charging, the LEDs will
turn o once charger and hearing inruments are fully
charged.
Mobile charging
When you are mobile with no electrical
outlet available, you can ill charge your
hearing inruments. Energy is fed from the
charger's integrated battery into your hearing
inruments.The charger mu be turned on to
do so.

When the charger turns on, the atus of the hearing
inruments and the atus of the charger's internal
battery are displayed for 7 seconds.
When the charger turns o, the front LED lights up
green and fades out over a period of approximately
7 seconds. Shut down is complete after approximately
7 seconds.
