Batteries
The battery compartment located on the bottom of the amplifier also acts
as the on-off switch. When closed the unit is ON and when open the unit
is OFF. We recommend that you fully or completely open the battery door
when you go to bed at night in order to conserve battery power.

Low power: You will hear a series of melodic double beeps when the battery is low. You may
also hear increasing static. You will have approximately 30 minutes to change the battery (this
can vary, depending on the hearing settings and battery). We recommend that you always
have a new battery on hand.
Batteries
The proper battery size for your Otofonix Apex amplifier is a zinc-air #312. Before inserting the
battery into your amplifier, remove the brown tab and wait 1-2 minutes to allow the battery to
air activate. Your hearing amplifier has a low current drain and the battery should last approxi-
mately 7-10 days (16 hour days) . Loud noises and increased volumes levels drain the battery
more than quieter sounds.

About Ear Tips & Ear Domes
There are 3 types of domes - open, closed and everything in between that we will
refer to as a hybrid style dome.
An Open Style Dome has large holes and is intended for
people with the typical mild to moderate high frequency
hearing loss who do not need much amplification in the low
frequencies. The larger openings in the dome allow for low
frequency sounds to pass though the dome with minimal
amplification and a more natural sound. It eliminates the “occlusion effect”
which is similar to putting your fingers in your ear and hearing yourself talk.
On the negative side, open domes are the most prone to feedback (whistle).
A Close Style Dome has no holes in them. This allows the am-
plifier to more aggressively boost the sound levels as much as
15-20 dB, especially in the low speech frequencies. Often closed
domes are the better answer for people suffering from a more
severe level of hearing loss. These domes virtually eliminate
all feedback that occurs from higher amplification but maximizes the “occlusion
effect”.

About Ear Tips & Ear Domes
A Hybrid Style Dome has a small hole or vent and fea-
tures of both the open and closed dome. These domes pro-
vide greater amplification in the low frequencies than the
open domes. The smaller vent also significantly minimizes
the “occlusion effect”and reduces feedback making them
more comfortable to wear than the closed domes. These domes are recom-
mended for those with a mild to moderate hearing loss. Several styles are
available on our website.
Your Apex comes assembled with a medium sized open dome but your pack-
age also contains an assortment of both open and closed domes to insure the
best fit. One medium sized hybrid dome is also included.
It is recommended that they be replaced every 2-3 months and can be
ordered on www.otofonix.com.

Attach eartip:
1. Line up the narrow tubing nozzle with the opening on the
inside of the tip.
2. Push together firmly until the eartip is securely attached so
it does not come off in your ear.
1. Hold the eartip tightly and grasp the tubing directly behind the
eartip.
2. Pull firmly.
Programs & Volumes
