User Guide

Behind-the-Ear System

Congratulations !

As the owner of a new hearing system, you may once again

enjoy the sounds of your environment, and conversation

with your family and friends.

These instructions as well as guidance from your hearing

instrument specialist will help you understand how your new

hearing system works. In this guide, you’ll find instructions

about insertion, removal and use of your CENTRA LifeTM hea-

ring system. There are also tips and information on proper

handling, cleaning, care and changing of the batteries. In

addition, a troubleshooting section is offered for your refe-

rence.

Your hearing improvement with a hearing system depends

on the fit of the hearing instruments, the type and degree

of hearing loss, and proper diagnostic testing. Of course, a

hearing system cannot restore normal hearing, and not

everyone will benefit equally.

More than 80 percent of individuals with a hearing loss have

a hearing loss in both ears. Studies show that even when a

hearing loss is worse in one ear, most people with a hearing

loss in both ears will benefit from wearing two instruments.

Remember, a hearing system consists of finely-tuned devices

that have been specially designed and expertly adjusted for

your individual needs. Proper care and handling will ensure

the best possible performance of your CENTRA Life hearing

system.

Battery insertion and removal

Handling the battery

Remove the tab on you battery

only when you are ready to use it.

Inserting the battery

Open the battery compartment

with your fingernail as shown in

the illustration.

Swivel open the battery compart-

ment door, if not already open.

Place the proper size battery (Type

312) so that the "+” symbol on the

battery coincides with the "+” mar-

ked on the battery compartment.

Three useful tips:

• The positive (+) side of the battery is always the

smooth side. You can recognize the negative (-) side

by the colored ring.

• Always keep spare batteries with you

• If you feel you cannot change the battery by yourself,

ask someone to help you: a family member, friend or

your hearing instrument specialist.

Close the battery compartment by

gently pressing the bottom of the

door upward with your finger tip.

Do not force the door shut. If

it does not close easily, check to

see if the battery was inserted

properly. When the battery door

is completely closed, your hearing

instrument is ready for use.

Removing the battery

Normally the battery drops out

when the compartment is comple-

tely open. If the battery does not

come out, lightly tap the system or

push the battery out with a pencil

as shown.

Low battery indicator

Your hearing system may be programmed to inform you

when the battery should be replaced for best system perfor-

mance. You may hear an intermittent series of beeps and/or

experience low amplification power or volume. Change the

battery when either of these occurs.

When using a remote control

If you have an ePocket remote control, the battery

status can be checked using the "data read out” function.

(See the ePocket user guide for more information).

Caution:

Keep batteries and instruments away from the

reach of small children.

Batteries can be harmful if swallowed.

If swallowed consult a physician or a hospital

immediately.

Change the batteries when any of the following occur:

- volume becomes softer or weak

- you hear a battery signal beep

- you see empty battery status on the display of

your ePocket.

Do NOT throw used batteries into household trash.

Return them to your hearing instrument specialist for

environmentally correct disposal.

Power-on-delay

Your CENTRA Life hearing instrument may be equipped with

a “power-on-delay” feature. In this case the hearing system is

automatically turned on with a delay of 12 seconds, so that

you may insert the hearing instrument into your ear without

experiencing unpleasant feedback (whistling).

Inserting and removing

your CENTRA Life

Make sure that your hearing

instrument is turned off. Hold

the LifeTip Adapter or earmold

between your thumb and index

finger and insert it carefully into

your ear canal. You may find it

helpful to pull your ear slightly

upward or to the back. Gently

work the LifeTip Adapter with the

LifeTip or earmold into its proper

position by adjusting it until it is

firmly seated in your ear. Once

inserted, you should feel whether

the LifeTip Adapter with the

LifeTip or earmold is placed cor-

rectly. Next, place your hearing

instrument behind your ear and

turn it on.

Tip:

Practice inserting and removing

your hearing instrument correctly.

An easy way to practice is to sit

down at a table. Place a mirror in

front of you and prop your elbows

on the table so you can guide

your hands easily and safely. This

will help you stay relaxed and

comfortable while you practice.

Turning your CENTRA Life

on and off

To turn off

Press the battery compartment to

the rear down to the first stop to

turn the instrument OFF.

To turn on

Fully close the battery compart-

ment to turn the instrument ON.

Your CENTRA Life hearing system automatically turns on

when a battery is inserted and the compartment door is

closed completely.

e2e wirelessTM

Unique to your CENTRA Life hearing system is the e2e

(ear-to-ear) wireless technology. The wireless functionality...

... automatically adjusts both of your hearing instru-

ments simultaneously to different listening situations

if activated by software.

... allows use of accessories including the ePocket

(bi-directional remote control) function.

... provides synchronization of the settings in the system.

If you change the volume or program on one hearing

instrument, the other is automatically adapted.*

For further information on the ePocket, contact your hearing

instrument specialist or refer to the ePocket user guide. Your

hearing instrument specialist can activate or deactivate the

wireless functionality of your hearing system. The ePocket

can be activated or deactivated separately.

Note:

The performance of the e2e wireless could be affected by

electro-magnetic interference, such as a computer monitor or

halogen lamp systems controlled by a switching power supply.

Move away from the source of interference if you experience

difficulty.

* Change volume and program only with the ePocket.
