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.

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.

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.
