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 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 compartment
completely 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.

Please 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 not
close 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 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.
Tamper proof battery compartment
To protect children from the dangers of playing with
batteries, a special locking system may be mounted on
the 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 its
middle position (slot vertical).
To unlock the battery compartment: Turn the screw to
its horizontal position.

Please make sure that the screw is in the unlocked
position when you close the battery compartment.
Locked Unlocked
The ON/OFF switch is not available when the
battery compartment is locked.
To switch the hearing system OFF, it is necessary
to unlock the tamper proof battery compartment.
Identifying left and right instruments
It is important to use the correct hearing system for
each ear.
Your hearing care professional can mark the hearing
systems for you. The color code on the housing will
identify left and right hearing systems.
The color code is as follows:
red = right
blue = left

Closed domes
The closed dome has a different design than other
domes (refer to picture). The closed dome consists of
two fins overlapping each other. Before inserting the
closed dome into the ear canal it is important to check
the position of these fins. The larger fin must be
positioned over the smaller fin, see picture ብ. If the
position is incorrect ቦ, you can easily adjust it. With
one finger, gently bend the bigger fin forwards and
then back again so that it overlaps the smaller one, see
picture ቧ. Make also sure that the slit of the closed
dome is in a horizontal position on the tube unit, as
shown in picture ብ. Your closed dome is now ready
to be inserted into the ear.

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 Exélia 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 each environment contribute to a fully
personalized volume setting.
Switching ON/OFF
Switching OFF
Using the nail grip, slightly open
the battery compartment until it
snaps to its OFF position.
Switching ON
Close the battery compartment.
Your hearing systems are always
working in the default hearing
program and at your preferred
volume when turned ON.

EasyPhone (optional)
The EasyPhone function enables your Exélia hearing
system to automatically select your telephone program
when the telephone handset is held close to your ear.
An acoustic signal confirms the switch.
It automatically returns to the previous hearing program
when the telephone handset is removed from your ear.
Some telephones produce a magnetic field strong enough
to activate your EasyPhone function. Most types of
telephones require an additional magnet fixed on the
receiver to activate this function.
Fixing the EasyPhone magnet
Clean the telephone handset
thoroughly. Hold the telephone
handset nearly vertically, similar
to making a telephone call. Hold
the magnet near to the “listening
end” of your telephone handset
and release it. The magnet will
automatically flip to the correct

Use of EasyPhone
Use the telephone in a normal manner. An acoustic
signal indicates the activation of the EasyPhone
program. 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 on
the handset to increase your comfort of use.
Keep magnets out of reach of children and pets.
If a magnet is swallowed, please seek the advice
of 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 equipped
with 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 may
mean that the phone receiver is stressed by
the magnet. To avoid any damage, please move
the magnet to another place on the telephone
receiver.
If you hold the telephone
receiver in your right hand
when making telephone
calls, position the magnet in
the upper right half of the
receiver.
If you hold the telephone
receiver in your left hand
when making telephone
calls, position the magnet
in the upper left half of
the receiver.
Use the double-sided adhesive
tape to stick the magnet to
the location described above.
Do not cover the sound
openings of your handset.

Important: The Wind and Weather Protector is an
exclusive Phonak system designed to protect the
high-tech microphones from dust and humidity – as
a result they last much longer, reducing the service
costs of your hearing systems. The life span of the Wind
and Weather Protector should be up to several
months, depending on the environment (humidity, dust,
perspiration etc.). The Wind and Weather Protector
should not be cleaned but replaced regularly. Your
hearing systems should never be used without the Wind
and Weather Protector.
MaintenanceFM communication (optional)

Hair spray, make-up etc. may damage the Wind
and Weather Protector. Remove your hearing
system before applying cosmetics.
Avoid touching the Wind and Weather Protector
when you place an instrument on your ear or
press the program switch.
Important: Consult your hearing care professional
about changing the Wind and Weather Protector if
you experience any of the following:
• The hearing system sounds quieter than usual
• There is a reduction in sound quality
• Understanding in noise becomes more difficult
• It becomes more difficult to determine the direction
of sounds.
After some experience, you will get to know when the
Wind and Weather Protector needs to be replaced.
It is advisable to have it replaced before the hearing
system performance is affected.

Fit’nGo slim tube
The following care and maintenance instructions
will help extend the life span and ensure the quality
and comfort of your hearing instrument fit with
slim tube.
The slim tube feeds the amplified sound from the
hearing instrument into the ear. It is important that the
slim tube, the dome or SlimTip fit correctly into your
ear. If the slim tube, the dome or SlimTip irritate your
ear in any way and prevent you from wearing your
hearing instrument, please contact your hearing care
professional. You should never attempt to modify
the shape of the slim tube yourself. The slim tube, the
dome or SlimTip should be cleaned regularly.
ቢ
To 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.
Maintenance

ባ
Insert the cleaning rod where the slim tube attaches
to the hearing instrument and push it all the way
through the slim tube and out through the dome or
SlimTip ባ. After cleaning it is important to remove
the 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 lodged
in 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 third
month, or sooner if the slim tube becomes stiff or brittle.
Only your hearing care professional should change the
dome or SlimTip. This is to ensure a secure & safe fit of
the dome or SlimTip to the slim tube.
