Your hearing inruments

This user guide describes optional features that

your hearing inruments may or may not have.

Ask your Hearing Care Professional to indicate the

features that are valid for your hearing inruments.

Inrument type

Your hearing inruments are a RIC (Receiver-in-Canal)

model. The receiver is placed within the ear canal and

connected to the inrument via a receiver cable. The

inruments are not intended for children under the age

of 3 years or persons with a developmental age of under

3 years.

The wireless functionality enables advanced audiological

features and synchronization between your two hearing

inruments.

Your hearing inruments feature Bluetooth® Low Energy*

technology allowing for easy data exchange with your

smartphone, and for seamless audio reaming with your

iPhone** and for some Android smartphones that support

Audio Streaming for Hearing Aids (ASHA).

Getting to know your hearing inruments

It is recommended to familiarize yourself with your new

hearing inruments. 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 inruments.

If you have problems pressing the controls of your

hearing inruments while wearing them, you can

use a remote control to control your inruments.

With a dedicated smartphone app you have even

more control options.

Daily use

To assure comfortable and easy use of your hearing

inruments they are equipped with an onboard control

element. In addition we oer an app for Android as well

as iPhones which makes handling your devices even

easier. Contact your Hearing Care Professional for

downloading and inalling the smartphone app.

Turning on and o

You can turn your hearing inruments on or o via the

battery compartment:

XTurning on: Close the battery compartment.

The default volume and hearing program are set.

XTurning o: Open the battery compartment to the r

catch.

When wearing the hearing inruments, an alert tone can

indicate when an inrument is being turned on or o.

When the power-on delay is activated, the hearing

inruments turn on after a delay of several seconds.

During this time you can insert the hearing inruments

into your ears without experiencing unpleasant feedback

whiling.

The "power-on delay" can be activated by your Hearing

Care Professional.

Switching to andby mode

You have following options to switch your device into

andby mode:

● via remote control or smartphone app

● via rocker switch.

Turning on or o:

Press and hold the rocker switch for several seconds.

Refer to section "Controls" for the settings of the

rocker switch.

Standby mode mutes the device. When you leave

andby mode, the previously used volume and hearing

● In andby mode, the device is not turned o

completely. It draws some power. Therefore, we

recommend to use andby mode only for a short

period of time.

● If you want to leave andby mode, but the remote

control or app is not at hand, turn your device o

and on again (by opening and closing the battery

compartment). In this case, the default volume and

hearing program are set.
