10
Turning on and o hearing inruments
You have the following options to turn your hearing
inruments on or o.
XTurning on: Take the inruments out of the charger.
The artup melody is played in your hearing
inruments. The default volume and hearing program
are set.
XTurning o: Place the hearing inruments in the
charger.
Note that the charger mu be on.
Switching to andby mode
Via remote control, you can switch your hearing
inruments to andby mode. This mutes the hearing
inruments. When you leave andby mode, the
previously used volume and hearing program are set.
Note:
In andby mode, the hearing inruments are not
turned o completely. They draw 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 is not at hand: Turn your hearing inruments
o and on again (by shortly placing them in the
charger until one or more LEDs light up). Wait until the
artup melody is played in your hearing inruments.
This may take several seconds. Note that the default

Maintenance and care
To prevent damage it is important that you take care of
your hearing inruments and follow a few basic rules,
which will soon become a part of your daily routine.
Hearing inruments
Cleaning
Your hearing inruments have a protective coating.
However, if not cleaned regularly, you may damage the
hearing inruments or cause personal injury.
XClean your hearing inruments daily with a soft, dry
tissue.
XNever use running water or immerse the
devices in water.
XNever apply pressure while cleaning.
XDo not use alcoholic solvent on the charging contacts.
XTo avoid corrosion, use a soft and dry tissue to
wipe o sweat or liquid from the charging contacts
or hearing inruments before inserting them in the
charger.
XAsk your Hearing Care Professional for recommended
cleaning products, special care sets, or more
information on how to keep your hearing inruments
in good condition.
18
Drying
Use conventional products to dry your hearing
inruments or our Connexx Charging+ Station SR. Ask
your Hearing Care Professional for recommended drying
products and for individual inructions on when to dry
your hearing inruments.
Storage
Short-term orage (up to several days): Turn o your
hearing inruments by placing them in the charger.
The charger mu be on. If the charger is not on 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.
Long-term orage (weeks, months, ...): Fir, fully
charge your hearing inruments. Leave them in
the Connexx Slim-RIC Travel Charger 2 with the
lid closed. Once the hearing inruments are fully
charged, the charger and the hearing inruments go
into hibernate mode to save power.
We recommend using 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
19
power cells cannot be charged anymore and they
have to be replaced. We recommend recharging more
frequently than 6 month intervals.
Observe the orage conditions in section
"Operating, transport and orage conditions".
Ear pieces
Cleaning
Cerumen (ear wax) may accumulate on the ear pieces.
This may aect sound quality. Clean the ear pieces daily.
For all types of ear pieces:
XClean the
ear piece right
after removal
with a soft and
dry tissue.
This prevents
that cerumen
becomes dry
and hard.
Exchanging
Exchange andard ear pieces approximately every
three months. Replace them sooner if you notice
cracks or other changes. The procedure for exchanging
andard ear pieces depends on the type of ear piece.
In section "Components and names", your Hearing Care
Professional has marked your type of ear piece.
20
XTo remove the old Eartip or Sleeve, follow the
illuration below. Be careful not to pull the receiver
cable.
XTake particular care that
the new Eartip or Sleeve
covers the retention rings
of the receiver fully.
XCheck the rm t of the
new Eartip or Sleeve.
