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.

16

"

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 4 to 5 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.

17

"

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.

18

"

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.

19

Your charger dries the hearing inruments while

charging. You can also use conventional products to dry

your inruments.

● 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.

20

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 if the charger's temperature exceeds

42 °C in order to cool down. The LEDs will ash orange

during the cooling phase. Charging resumes automatically
