Welcome
Thank you for choosing our hearing instruments to
accompany you through everyday life. Like anything new,
it may take you a little time to become familiar with them.
This guide, along with support from your Hearing Care
Professional, will help you understand the advantages
and greater quality of life your hearing instruments offer.
To receive the most benefit from your hearing
instruments, it is recommended that you wear them every
day, all day. This will help you get adjusted to them.
CAUTION
It is important to read this user guide and the safety
manual thoroughly and completely. Follow the
safety information to avoid damage or injury.

Your hearing instruments
This user guide describes optional features that
your hearing instruments may or may not have.
Ask your Hearing Care Professional to indicate the
features that are valid for your hearing instruments.
Instrument type
Your hearing instruments are BTE (Behind-The-Ear)
models. A tube delivers the sound from the hearing
instrument into the ear. The instruments are not intended
for children under the age of 3 years or persons with a
developmental age of under 3 years.
The wireless functionality enables advanced audiological
features and synchronization between your two hearing
instruments.
Your hearing instruments feature Bluetooth® low energy*
technology allowing for easy and seamless audio
streaming and data exchange with your iPhone**.
* The Bluetooth word mark and logos are owned by the Bluetooth SIG, Inc., and any
use of such marks by the legal manufacturer of this product is under licenses. Other
trademarks and trade names are those of their respective owners.
** iPhone is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.

Getting to know your hearing instruments
It is recommended to familiarize yourself with your new
hearing instruments. With the instruments in your hand
try using the controls and note their location on the
instrument. This will make it easier for you to feel and
press the controls while wearing the hearing instruments.
If you have problems pressing the controls of your
hearing instruments while wearing them, you can
use a remote control to control your instruments.
With a dedicated smartphone app you have even
more control options.

Components and names
Your hearing instruments are either attached to an
earhook and a custom-made ear piece or to a standard
tube (ThinTube) and a standard ear piece (LifeTip).

Battery size and handling tips
Ask your Hearing Care Professional for recommended
batteries.
Battery size:
13
●
Always use the correct battery size for your hearing
instruments.
●
Remove the batteries if you intend not to use the

local recycling rules for battery disposal.

11
Replacing batteries
Removing the battery:

change.
X To change the hearing program, press the
rocker switch.
Refer to section "Controls" for the setting of the
rocker switch. Refer to section "Settings" for a list of
your hearing programs.

For more information about compatible iOS devices,
pairing, audio streaming and other useful functions,
contact your Hearing Care Professional.

Hearing instruments
Drying and storage
