Batteries
Your hearing system uses a battery as its power
source. This battery size can be identified by the
orange (13), brown (312), or yellow (10) color code
on the packaging.
To insert or replace the battery:

2. Open the battery door gently and remove
the old battery.
3. Remove the tab from the new battery.
4. Line up the battery’s “+” sign (flat side of the
battery) with the “+” on the battery door.
5. Close the battery door.
My hearing instrument uses a:
13 battery (ITE) – Orange
312 battery (ITC) – Brown
10 battery (CIC) – Yellow

An indicator will sound when the battery voltage is
low. You have approximately 5 minutes* to replace
the battery. An indicator will sound just before the
battery stops working.
* Actual time between low battery indicator and shut
down will vary depending on environmental noise
levels and brand of battery used.

Operation
Directional Settings
Your hearing system may have a directional microphone to
help improve speech understanding in noisy situations.
Ask your hearing care professional about your particular
directional settings.
Telephone Use
Your hearing instruments are equipped with tools
to help you effectively communicate on the telephone. Ask
your hearing professional about your telephone solution.
Automatic Telephone and Automatic Telecoil
These options activate the telephone response
automatically when used with a hearing aid compatible
telephone. To use, place the telephone receiver on your
ear as you normally would and the hearing instrument will
select the telephone setting. It might be necessary to move
the telephone receiver slightly to find the best reception.
Once the telephone is removed from the ear, the hearing
instrument will switch back to the normal listening mode.
Note: Consult with your hearing professional if your
device does not seem to switch to the telephone setting
automatically.
My hearing instruments have the following telephone setting(s):
Automatic Telephone. See below.
Automatic Telecoil. See below.
Telecoil and Manual Switching. See page 17.
(Program # _____________________________).
Operation
Telecoil and Manual Switching
Hearinginstrumentswithamanualtelecoilallow
you to switch the devices to telephone mode
when needed.
Manually switched telecoils
are activated by choosing
the telecoil setting using the
Multifunction button.
General Telephone Use
Some hearing instruments
work best by holding the
phone close to, but not fully
covering your ear. In some
instances, if you encounter
whistling (feedback), tilt the
receiver at an angle until the
whistling stops. Additionally,
the hearing instrument in the
non-phone ear (ear opposite
the phone) may switch to a
telephone setting to reduce
background sounds. Your
hearing professional can
provide instructions and
techniques for your specific
needs.

AccessoriesOperation
DISCLAIMER – Some hearing aid users have reported a
buzzing sound in their hearing aids when they are using
cell phones, indicating that the cell phone and hearing
aid may not be compatible. According to the ANSI
C63.19 standard (ANSI C63.19-2006 American National
Standard Methods of Measurement of Compatibility
Between Wireless Communications Devices and Hearing
Aids), the compatibility of a particular hearing aid and
cell phone can be predicted by adding the rating for
the hearing aid immunity to the rating for the cell phone
emissions. For example, the sum of a hearing aid rating
of 2 (M2/T2) and a telephone rating of 3 (M3/T3) would
result in a combined rating of 5. Any combined rating
that equals at least 5 would provide “normal use”; a
combined rating of 6 or greater would indicate “excellent
performance.”
The immunity of this hearing aid is at least M2/T2. The
equipment performance measurements, categories
and system classifications are based upon the best
information available but cannot guarantee that all users
will be satisfied.
NOTE: The performance of individual hearing aids may
vary with individual cell phones. Therefore, please try this
hearing aid with your cell phone or, if you are purchasing
a new phone, be sure to try it with your hearing aid prior
to purchase. For additional guidance, please ask your
cell phone provider for the booklet entitled “Hearing Aid
Compatibility with Digital Wireless Cell Phones.”
Wireless Accessories
There are several wireless accessories that allow you to
control and maximize the full potential of your hearing
system. These include a remote control as well as wireless
connection to your cell phone and entertainment system.
Consult with your hearing professional to determine
which accessories may be best for you.
