Batteries

Your hearing system uses a battery as its power

source. This battery size can be identiﬁed by the

brown (312) or orange (13) color code on the

packaging.

To insert or replace the battery:

1. Use the nail grip on the battery door.

2. Open the battery door gently and remove

the old battery.

3. Remove the tab from the new battery.

4. Line up the battery’s plus “+” sign (ﬂat side of

the battery) with the “+” on the battery door.

5. Close the battery door.

My hearing instrument uses a:

312 battery (RIC 312) – Brown

13 battery (RIC 13) – Orange

Battery Indicators

An indicator will sound when the battery voltage is

low. You have approximately 5 minutes* to replace

the battery. An indicator will sound just before the

battery stops working.

* Actual time between low battery indicator and shut

down will vary depending on environmental noise

levels and brand of battery used.

Preparation Preparation

My hearing instrument has a tamper resistant

battery compartment. See below.

Tamper Resistant Battery Compartment (RIC 13 only)

To lock the battery door:

Use an appropriate tool to

slide the recessed switch to

the left until it “clicks” and

the colored mark is visible.

To unlock the battery door:

Slide the recessed switch

to the right until it “clicks”

and the colored mark

disappears.

Locking the door is not

required for operation.

consultation with a physician.

On & Off

To turn ON:

Insert a battery and completely close

the battery door.

To turn OFF: Open the battery door until the battery is

no longer touching the battery contacts.

Your instrument has a Power-On delay and may require

a few seconds to power on. You may hear a tone series

indicating that your device is fully powered on.

Volume Control

Automatic Volume Control

Your hearing system has been set to a speciﬁc

volume level by your hearing care professional. If

sounds are generally too loud or too soft, please

contact your hearing care professional for advice

and adjustment.

Preparation Operation

My hearing instrument volume is set automatically.

Please read the section below.

My hearing instrument uses the multifunction button

for volume control. See page 12.

12 13

Operation

Multifunction Button–Multimemory

Your hearing care professional can

set up to four hearing programs for you.

These additional programs are accessed

by pressing the multifunction button.

When you press the multifunction button,

you may hear an indicator or a tone

series indicating the device has

changed to the next program.

Ask your hearing professional about

your speciﬁc hearing programs.

My multifunction button is set for multimemory.

See below.

Operation

Telephone Use

Your hearing instruments are equipped with tools to help

you effectively communicate on the telephone. Ask your

hearing professional about your telephone solution.

Automatic Telephone and Automatic Telecoil

These options activate the telephone response

automatically when used with a hearing aid compatible

telephone. To use, place the telephone receiver on your

ear as you normally would and the hearing instrument will

select the telephone setting. It might be necessary to move

the telephone receiver slightly to ﬁnd the best reception.

Once the telephone is removed from the ear, the hearing

instrument will switch back to the normal listening mode.

Note:

Consult with your hearing professional if your

device does not seem to switch to the telephone

setting automatically.

Directional Settings

Your hearing system has directional microphones to

help improve speech understanding in noisy situations.

Ask your hearing care professional about your

particular directional settings.

My hearing instruments have the following telephone setting(s):

Automatic Telephone. See below.

Automatic Telecoil. See below.

Telecoil and Manual Switching. See page 14.

(Program # ____________________ ).

Multifunction Button - Volume Control

Your hearing system uses the button to control

volume. Press then release the button until the

desired volume level is reached. Each press/release

changes the volume one increment.

Volume Settings

Volume Level Tone

Level 5 (More volume) Five beeps plus tone

Level 4 Four beeps

Level 3 (Power on volume level) Three beeps

Level 2 Two beeps

Level 1 (Less volume) One beep plus tone

14 15

Operation Operation

Telecoil and Manual Switching

Hearing instruments with a

manual telecoil allow you to

switch the devices to telephone

mode when needed.

Manually switched telecoils

are activated by choosing the

telecoil setting using the

multifunction button.

General Telephone Use

Some hearing instruments work

best by holding the phone

close to, but not fully covering

your ear. In some instances,

if you encounter whistling

(feedback), tilt the receiver

at an angle until the whistling

stops. Additionally, the hearing

instrument in the non-phone

ear (ear opposite the phone)

may switch to a telephone

setting to reduce background

sounds. Your hearing

professional can provide

instructions and techniques

for your speciﬁc needs.

DISCLAIMER – Some hearing aid users have

reported a buzzing sound in their hearing aids when

they are using cell phones, indicating that the cell

phone and hearing aid may not be compatible.

According to the ANSI C63.19 standard (ANSI

C63.19-2006 American National Standard Methods

of Measurement of Compatibility Between Wireless

Communications Devices and Hearing Aids), the

compatibility of a particular hearing aid and cell

phone can be predicted by adding the rating for

the hearing aid immunity to the rating for the

cell phone emissions. For example, the sum of a

hearing aid rating of 2 (M2) and a telephone rating

of 3 (M3) would result in a combined rating of 5.

Any combined rating that equals at least 5 would

provide “normal use”; a combined rating of 6 or

greater would indicate “excellent performance.”

The immunity of this hearing aid is at least M2/T2.

The equipment performance measurements,

categories and system classiﬁcations are based

upon the best information available but cannot

guarantee that all users will be satisﬁed.

NOTE: The performance of individual hearing aids

may vary with individual cell phones. Therefore,

please try this hearing aid with your cell phone

or, if you are purchasing a new phone, be sure to

try it with your hearing aid prior to purchase. For

additional guidance, please ask your cell phone

provider for the booklet entitled “Hearing Aid

Compatibility with Digital Wireless Cell Phones.”

system. Consult with your hearing professional to

determine which accessories may be best for you.
