Remove the old battery.

Remove the protective foil from the new battery.

Insert the new battery. Please ensure that the “+” sign

on the battery (flat side) is on the same side as the “+”

sign on the battery compartment.

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

312 or 13). The use of other batteries may lead

to reduced battery life and the optimum performance

of your Exélia hearing systems can not be guaranteed.

For Exélia Petite instruments, please use standard

batteries.

Hold the hearing system with the battery

compartment upwards and open it.

Preparation

P57735_Pho_GB_Exelia_ITE.qxp 30.11.2007 14:49 Uhr Seite 8

Gently shut the battery compartment, until you

feel it “click” into place.

Please only use GenX batteries for your Exélia

instruments (except Exélia Petite).

Handle the battery compartment gently and

do not use excessive force.

Do not try to open the compartment further

than shown in the drawing.

If there is any resistance when closing the

compartment, ensure that the battery is correctly

inserted. The compartment will not close if the

battery is inserted upside down.

When your hearing system is not in use, leave the

battery compartments 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.

Identifying left and right hearing instruments

Before insertion, please ensure that you are using

the proper left and right hearing systems.

Your hearing systems are identified as follows:

blue = left

red = right

Inserting your hearing system in your ear

Grasp the hearing system between the thumb and

index finger, using the hand on the same side you wear

your hearing system. Insert the canal end into the ear

canal. Tug gently on your ear lobe and push the hearing

system into the correct position.

Preparation

P57735_Pho_GB_Exelia_ITE.qxp 30.11.2007 14:49 Uhr Seite 12

Removing your hearing system from your ear

If possible, select the mute mode (see page 21) before

removing your hearing system to avoid whistling.

• Exélia CIC/MC Petite with removal handle

Grasp the handle between your thumb and index

finger and pull the hearing system upwards out

of your ear.

• Exélia or Exélia Petite without a removal handle

Put your thumb behind your lobe (just below the

hard cartilage) and gently press your ear upward

to push the hearing system out of the canal. In

order to help it along, make chewing movements

with your jaw.

Grasp the protruding

hearing system

and remove it.

Switching ON/OFF

Switching ON

The hearing system

is switched ON when the

battery compartment is

closed. Your hearing systems

are automatically set at

your preferred volume and

in your default hearing

program.

Switching OFF

To switch the hearing

system OFF, open the

battery compartment.

Fine tuning based on your personal preferences

The fitting process has limited capabilities of reproducing

the full spectrum of your personal sound environments.

This limitation is overcome by the ability of Exélia

hearing systems to learn from your real life volume

adjustments. Exélia offers a unique functionality called

“Self Learning”. In every environment, it logs your personal

volume changes within the hearing instrument. This

means that every time you change the volume of your

hearing system, this correction is taken into account to

apply your preferred volume automatically when you are

in a similar environment next time.

Self Learning cleverly ensures that your volume

corrections in any environment contribute to a fully

personalized volume setting.

Controlling the volume (optional)

left ear right ear

forwards forwards

backwards backwards

Preset volume

Automatically set when hearing system

is switched ON.

To increase volume

Turn the volume control forwards.

To reduce volume

Turn the volume control backwards.

Delayed activation

Your hearing care professional may have activated

a delayed activation timer. This function delays the

activation of the hearing system (for 9 or 15 seconds)

after the battery door is closed in order to avoid

any disturbance while placing it into your ear.

An acoustic signal confirms when your hearing system

is switched on.

Note

The mute mode may be used like an ON/OFF function,

(activated manually or via the myPilot command

center) allowing you to switch your hearing system

OFF for a short period of time (i.e. while inserting

or removing the instrument, short breaks etc.). Please

be aware that the mute mode still consumes some

energy from the battery.
