Intended use

Generic air-conduction hearing instruments are wearable sound-amplifying devices intended to compen-

sate for impaired hearing. The fundamental operating principle of hearing instruments is to receive, amplify,

and transfer sound to the eardrum of a hearing impaired person.

Warning to hearing care professional i

A hearing care professional should advise a prospective user to consult promptly with a licensed physi-

cian (preferably an ear specialist) before setting the instrument if the hearing care professional determines

through inquiry, actual observation, or review of any other available information concerning the prospective

user that the prospective user has any of the following conditions:

(i) visible congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear;

(ii) history of active drainage from the ear within the previous 90 days;

(iii) history of sudden or rapidly progressive hearing loss within the previous 90 days;

(iv) acute or chronic dizziness;

(v) unilateral hearing loss of sudden or recent onset within the previous 90 days;

(vi) audiometric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15dB at 500 Hz (hertz), 1000 Hz, and 2000 Hz;

(vii) visible evidence of signiﬁcant cerumen accumulation or a foreign body in the ear canal;

(viii) pain or discomfort in the ear.

Important notice to prospective users

Good health practice requires that a person with a hearing loss has a medical evaluation by a licensed phy-

sician (preferably a physician who specializes in diseases of the ear) before using a hearing aid. Licensed

physicians who specialize in diseases of the ear are often referred to as otolaryngologists, otologists, or

otorhinolaryngologists. The purpose of a medical evaluation is to assure that all medically treatable condi-

tions that may affect hearing are identiﬁed and treated before the hearing instrument is used.

Switching on and off

Your hearing instrument is switched off by opening the battery door.

Switch your instrument on by closing the battery door.

Your instrument may have a program button to switch programs. However, if

you close the battery door your instrument will always start in program number 1. Read more on this subject

on page 21.

At night, leave the battery door open. It increases battery life and allows moisture in your instrument to

evaporate and increases the instrument’s life span.

On-close

Off-open

Delayed Activation

Your hearing care professional may have activated the Delayed Activation function in your hearing instru-

ment. The Delayed Activation function delays the turn-on time by 10 seconds after closing the battery door.

This is indicated by beeps in the receiver at one second intervals when the battery door is closed, mean-

ing that 10 beeps will be heard before the hearing instrument is activated. If you wish, this function can be

deactivated by your hearing care professional.

16 17

Changing batteries

(Please ask your hearing care professional what battery size is used for your hearing

instrument )

Low battery indication

Your hearing care professional can set your hearing instrument to give an acoustical

indication when the battery is reaching its end of life. The hearing instrument will

reduce ampliﬁcation and emit a melody if battery power gets too low. This signal will

recur every ﬁve minutes until the hearing instrument automatically switches off. It is

recommended that you keep spare batteries on hand.

Replacing the battery

Open the battery door by placing your ﬁngernail or a pencil under the edge of the

battery door and gently push it backwards. When opened, remove the dead bat-

tery. The end of the cleaning brush is magnetic. It allows for easy battery removal/

insertion.

iAlways use new Zinc-Air batteries that have a minimum remaining shelf-life of

1 year.

Remove the protective seal from the fresh battery and insert it in the battery door,

with the plus side facing up. You will recognize the plus side of the battery because marked with a +. Check

whether the + symbols on the battery and on the battery door are on the same side.

Always insert a battery in the opened door, never directly into the instrument.

Close the battery door. This should go smoothly, so never force it as this could damage your instrument.

iWhenever the hearing instruments are not in use, remember to turn them off to avoid unnecessary

battery consumption

Low battery indicator (when paired with Direct Line accessories)

Active usage of Beltone Direct Line accessories (for example: Remote Control, TV Link, Personal Audio Link

and Phone Link) requires more battery power from the hearing instrument than when these are working on

their own. When the battery in the hearing instrument has depleted to a level at which use of the Beltone TV

Link and Phone Link cannot be supported, the hearing instrument will play two sets of descending tones.

At some point the battery level will not support the Remote Control either and you will once again hear the

descending tones. The hearing instrument will continue to work as usual. Once a new battery is inserted,

full operation of the accessories will resume. Remove the protective seal from the fresh battery and insert it

in the battery door. Check that the + symbols on the battery and on the battery door are on the same side.

Battery warning information i

Batteries contain dangerous substances and should be disposed of carefully in the interest of your safety

and for the environment.

• Do not place batteries in your mouth. Consult a physician immediately if a battery has been swallowed,

as it can be harmful to your health.

• Remove the batteries to prevent leakage when the hearing instruments are not in use for an extended

period of time.

• Do not attempt to dispose of batteries by burning them.

• DO NOT attempt to recharge batteries (Zinc Air) which are not speciﬁcally designated rechargeable

as they may leak or explode.

• Used batteries are harmful to the environment. Please dispose of them according to local regulations

or return them to your hearing care practitioner.

• Keep batteries away from pets, children and individuals who are mentally challenged.

Inserting and removing your custom instrument

Inserting the instrument

• The insertion process varies with the shape of your ear canal. A fairly

straight ear canal allows for easy insertion. However, some ear canals have

sharper curves and may require more care.

• Take the hearing instrument between thumb and index ﬁnger and position

its ‘point’ in your ear canal. If available the colour dot must point upwards

on CIC instruments and on MC instruments. For the IIC, a white dot will be

on the top side of the shell to show the orientation for insertion.

• Now slide the instrument all the way into your ear canal with a gentle, twist-

ing motion. Insertion can be easier if you gently pull your ear backward with

your other hand.

• Move the instrument up and down with your index ﬁnger and press gently to ensure it is positioned cor-

rectly. Opening and closing your mouth can aid insertion. You will feel when the instrument is inserted

correctly.
