Replacing the battery
The advanced performance features of your Exélia
instruments require specially designed high performance
batteries (called GenX batteries). Therefore please
only use these GenX batteries (size 13). The use of other
batteries could lead to reduced battery life and the
optimum performance of your Exélia hearing systems
can not be guaranteed.
Using the nail grip, open the battery compartment
completely and remove the old battery.
Remove the
protective foil from
the new battery.
Insert the new battery with the “+” sign (flat side
of the battery) in line with the “+” marked on
the battery compartment and close it. The correct
battery orientation can also be seen on the inside
of the battery compartment.

Please only use GenX batteries for your Exélia
instruments.
Handle the battery compartment with care and
do not use excessive force.
If there is any resistance when closing the
compartment, ensure that the battery is
inserted correctly. The compartment may not
close properly if the battery is upside down,
and the instrument will not work.
When your hearing system is not in use, leave
the battery compartment open to allow any
moisture to evaporate.
Low battery warning
An acoustic signal gives you an early warning that
the battery is approaching exhaustion. You have
approximately 30 minutes to replace the battery after
hearing the signal. This reserve may be higher
and the hearing system will repeat the low battery
warning approximately every 30 minutes.
Please note that the battery consumption increases
with regular use of the myPilot command center
or the iCom communication interface.
Tamper proof battery compartment
To protect children from the dangers of playing with
batteries, a special locking system may be mounted on
the instruments. This locking system can also be used
for identifying left and right instruments (see page 15).
To lock the battery compartment, after it is closed:
Use a small screwdriver and turn the screw to its
middle position (slot vertical).
To unlock the battery compartment: Turn the screw to
its horizontal position.

Please make sure that the screw is in the unlocked
position when you close the battery compartment.
Locked Unlocked
The ON/OFF switch is not available when the
battery compartment is locked.
To switch the hearing system OFF, it is necessary
to unlock the tamper proof battery compartment.
Identifying left and right instruments
It is important to use the correct hearing system for
each ear.
Your hearing care professional can mark the hearing
systems for you. The color code on the housing will
identify left and right hearing systems.
The color code is as follows:
red = right
blue = left

Place the canal portion of the earmold inside your ear
canal. If it is difficult to get it into place, stretch your ear
by pulling it gently backwards and upwards with your
other hand. When the canal portion is in place, twist the
earmold backwards so that it fits into the concha and
the helix portion is under the fold.
Inserting your
hearing system
with earmold into
your ear
Using the hand on the same side you wear your hearing
system, grasp the earmold between the thumb and
index finger.
Raise your hand to your ear making sure the canal
portion of the earmold faces your ear. Tilt your hand
slightly forward.

Now position the hearing system behind the ear.
Be careful not to twist the tubing.
Check the placement of the earmold by tracing the
contour of the ear with your finger.
To remove your hearing system, grasp the earmold,
not the tubing, and pull it out of your ear gently but
firmly.
