Low battery warning
An acoustic signal gives you an early warning that the
battery is approaching exhaustion. You have usually
at least 30 minutes to replace the battery. With very
high quality batteries, this reserve may be higher. The
hearing system will repeat the low battery warning
approximately every 30 minutes.
Handle the battery compartment with care and
do not use excessive force.
If there is any resistance when shutting the
compartment, ensure that the battery is inserted
correctly.
If the battery is installed backwards, the
instrument will not work. Please open the battery
compartment and insert the battery correctly.
For the Junior models, the battery latch must be
placed back over the battery and locked,
before closing the battery compartment.

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.

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 switching 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.
Too 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.

Maintenance
Wind and Weather Protector
Important: The three Wind and Weather Protectors are
exclusive to Phonak hearing systems, designed to
protect the high-tech microphones and the battery air
inlet from dust, humidity or water.
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 Protectors should not be cleaned
but replaced regularly.
Your hearing systems should never be used without
the Wind and Weather Protectors. If they are not
mounted properly, the hearing system is not water
resistant (see page 50).
The following care and maintenance tips will help
extend the life span and ensure the efficiency of your
protectors:
Never wipe or clean the Wind and Weather
Protector – it may lose its special acoustic and
protection properties.
The Wind and Weather Protector is made of
three identical parts. Always replace all three
protectors together.
Hair spray, make-up, etc. may damage or clog
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.

Maintenance
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.
Important points
1) Always use new batteries as replacements. You
can return empty batteries to your hearing care
professional.
2) When your hearing system is not in use, leave
the battery compartment open in a clean place,
preferable the protective case, to allow any
moisture to evaporate.
3) If you will not be using your hearing systems for
any length of time, store them in their protective
case. Remove the batteries and leave the battery
compartments open. Make sure your hearing systems
are completely dry before closing the case.
4) In general, you have to protect your hearing systems
from excessive moisture and heat.
5) Your Naída hearing systems and the design-integrated
FM solution are water resistant, for more exact
handling read carefully page 50.
Note: Naída hearing systems, modified with the
special battery compartment (allowing use of the
P58243_Pho_GB_Naida.qxp 30.11.2007 15:13 Uhr Seite 54
56 57
audio shoe and connected universal FM receiver)
are no longer water resistant.

Warning
Hearing system batteries are toxic when swallowed!
Keep them out of reach of children and pets. If
batteries are swallowed, please seek the advice of
a medical practitioner!
Use only hearing systems that have been specially
programmed for you by a hearing care professional.
Other instruments may be ineffective and may, in
certain cases, even damage your hearing.
X-ray radiation (e.g. CT scans, MRI scans) may
adversely affect the correct functioning of
your instruments. We recommend that you remove
them before undergoing X-ray procedures and
keep them outside the room.
Hearing systems in directional microphone
mode reduce mainly background sounds. Warning
signals coming from behind and vehicles’ horns
approaching from behind are partially or completely
suppressed.

which becomes effective on the date of purchase. Please
ask your hearing care professional about the details and

centers renders the Phonak warranty null and void. This
