11Replacing the battery The advanced performance features of your Exélia instruments require specially designed high performancebatteries (called GenX batteries). Therefore please only use these GenX batteries (size 13). The use of other batteries could lead to reduced battery life and the optimum performance of your Exélia hearing systems can not be guaranteed. Using the nail grip, open the battery compartmentcompletely and remove the old battery.Remove the protective foil from the new battery.Insert the new battery with the “+” sign (flat side of the battery) in line with the “+” marked on the battery compartment and close it. The correct battery orientation can also be seen on the inside of the battery compartment.10PreparationP57736_Pho_GB_Exelia_BTE.qxp 30.11.2007 15:09 Uhr Seite 10
1312Please only use GenX batteries for your Exélia instruments.Handle the battery compartment with care and do not use excessive force.If there is any resistance when closing the compartment, ensure that the battery is inserted correctly. The compartment may notclose properly if the battery is upside down, and the instrument will not work.When your hearing system is not in use, leave the battery compartment open to allow any moisture to evaporate.Low battery warningAn 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 batterywarning approximately every 30 minutes.Please note that the battery consumption increaseswith regular use of the myPilot command center or the iCom communication interface.Tamper proof battery compartment To protect children from the dangers of playing withbatteries, a special locking system may be mounted onthe instruments. This locking system can also be used for identifying left and right instruments (see page 15).To lock the battery compartment, after it is closed: Use a small screwdriver and turn the screw to itsmiddle position (slot vertical).To unlock the battery compartment: Turn the screw toits horizontal position.PreparationP57736_Pho_GB_Exelia_BTE.qxp 30.11.2007 15:09 Uhr Seite 12

2524Fine tuning based on your personal preferencesThe fitting process has limited capabilities of reproducingthe full spectrum of your personal sound environments.This limitation is overcome by the ability of Exélia hearingsystems 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 thatevery time you change the volume of your Exélia hearingsystem, this correction is taken into account to applyyour preferred volume automatically when you are in asimilar environment next time.Self Learning cleverly ensures that your volume corrections in each environment contribute to a fullypersonalized volume setting.Switching ON/OFFSwitching OFFUsing the nail grip, slightly open the battery compartment until itsnaps to its OFF position.Switching ONClose the battery compartment. Your hearing systems are always working in the default hearingprogram and at your preferred volume when turned ON. Preparation OperationP57736_Pho_GB_Exelia_BTE.qxp 30.11.2007 15:09 Uhr Seite 24
2726Delayed activationYour 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 systemis switched on.Controlling the volume The volume of your hearing system can be adjusted above or below the preset volume.Volume up OperationVolume downNote• A beep confirms each action on the volume control. A double beep indicates that you have reached the limit of your volume control range.• If not required, your hearing care professional can remove or disable the volume control switch.• Phonak’s myPilot command center (see page 34) can also control the volume of all Exélia BTEs.

Some telephones produce a magnetic field strong enoughto activate your EasyPhone function. Most types of telephones require an additional magnet fixed on thereceiver to activate this function.Fixing the EasyPhone magnetClean the telephone handset thoroughly. Hold the telephonehandset nearly vertically, similarto making a telephone call. Holdthe magnet near to the “listeningend” of your telephone handsetand release it. The magnet willautomatically flip to the correctside.ZoomControlThis special hearing program allows you to choosefrom four directions in which to focus your hearingsystems (front, back, left or right). This special program can be accessed via the myPilot commandcenter only.Telecoil (optional) Your hearing care professional may have activated a Telecoil in your hearing systems.

3332Use of EasyPhoneUse the telephone in a normal manner. An acoustic signal indicates the activation of the EasyPhoneprogram. At the beginning, you may need to move the handset slightly to find the optimum position for a reliable switch and comfortable hearing.If necessary, move the magnet to another position onthe handset to increase your comfort of use.Keep magnets out of reach of children and pets.If a magnet is swallowed, please seek the adviceof a medical practitioner.The magnet used to strengthen the magnetic field of your phone may affect some medical devices or electronic systems.Always keep the magnet (or the telephone equippedwith the magnet) at least 30 cm (12”) away from pacemakers, credit cards, floppy disks or other magnetically sensitive devices.High distortion during dialing or phoning maymean that the phone receiver is stressed by the magnet. To avoid any damage, please movethe magnet to another place on the telephone receiver.If you hold the telephone receiver in your right handwhen making telephone calls, position the magnet in the upper right half of the receiver.If you hold the telephone receiver in your left handwhen making telephone calls, position the magnet in the upper left half of the receiver.Use the double-sided adhesivetape to stick the magnet to the location described above. Do not cover the sound openings of your handset.OperationP57736_Pho_GB_Exelia_BTE.qxp 30.11.2007 15:09 Uhr Seite 32

It is important that theslim tube, the dome or SlimTip fit correctly into yourear. If the slim tube, the dome or SlimTip irritate yourear in any way and prevent you from wearing your hearing instrument, please contact your hearing careprofessional. You should never attempt to modify the shape of the slim tube yourself. The slim tube, thedome or SlimTip should be cleaned regularly.ቢTo clean, remove the slim tube from the hearing instrument by unscrewing and taking it off ቢ. Use a damp cloth to clean the slim tube, the dome or SlimTip on the outside and use the black cleaning rod to “push” any debris out of the sound tube.

50 51ባInsert the cleaning rod where the slim tube attaches to the hearing instrument and push it all the waythrough the slim tube and out through the dome orSlimTip ባ. After cleaning it is important to removethe cleaning rod. It is not recommended to submerge or rinse the slim tube, the dome or SlimTip in water, as there is a risk that a water drop may become lodgedin the slim tube. If this should occur, it will prevent sound going through the slim tube, and may be harmful to the hearing instrument’s electronics. The slim tube and dome should be changed every thirdmonth, or sooner if the slim tube becomes stiff or brittle.Only your hearing care professional should change thedome or SlimTip. This is to ensure a secure & safe fit ofthe dome or SlimTip to the slim tube.MaintenanceP57736_Pho_GB_Exelia_BTE.qxp 30.11.2007 15:09 Uhr Seite 50
