Charging

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, it charges

the hearing inruments (if they are placed

in the charger) and it charges the integrated

battery at the same time.

The front atus LED permanently shows the

charging atus of the charger. The hearing

inruments' charging atus is shown when opening the lid

and/or pushing the button.

14

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.

The charging atus of charger and hearing inruments is

shown by pushing the button or opening the lid.

automatically turned on and cannot be turned o.

During mobile charging, press and hold the button for

5 seconds to turn the charger on or o.

zWhen the charger turns on, the atus of the hearing

inruments and the atus of the charger's internal

for approximately 15 seconds.
