If the battery compartment is locked it can be opened by a few millimeters only. This is enough to turn the hearing instrument off.
Via push button:
▶ Turning on or off: Press the push button for 2 seconds. Refer to section "Controls" for your personal settings.
After turning on, the previously used volume and hearing program are set.
Via remote control:
▶ Follow the instructions in the remote control's user guide.
After turning on, the previously used volume and hearing program are set.
i
■ When wearing the hearing instruments, an optional signal can indicate when an instrument is turned on or off.
■ Remove the batteries if the hearing instruments are not used for several days.
When the power-on delay is activated, the hearing instruments turn on after a delay of several seconds. During this time you can insert the hearing instruments without experiencing unpleasant whistling.
The "power-on delay" can be activated by your Hearing Care Professional.
Inserting
Your hearing instruments have been fine-tuned for your right and left ear. Colored markers indicate the side:
- red marker – right ear
blue marker = left ear
To insert the hearing instrument:
Hold the tube at the bend.
Carefully push the ear piece in the ear canal.
Twist it slightly until it sits well.
Open and close your mouth to avoid accumulation of air in the ear canal.
▶ Lift the hearing instrument and slide it over the top of your ear.
CAUTION
Risk of injury!
Insert the ear piece carefully and not too deeply into the ear.
i
■ Insert the right hearing instrument with the right hand and the left hearing instrument with the left hand.
If you have problems inserting the ear piece, use the other hand to gently pull your earlobe downwards. This opens the ear canal and eases insertion of the ear piece.
The optional concha lock helps to securely retain the ear piece in your ear. To position the concha lock:
Bend the concha lock and position it carefully into the bowl of your ear (refer to the picture).
Removing
▶ Lift the hearing instrument and slide it over the top of your ear.
Hold the tube and pull the ear piece carefully out.
CAUTION
Risk of injury!
In very rare cases the ear piece could remain in your ear when removing the hearing instrument. If this happens, have the ear piece removed by a medical professional.
Clean and dry your hearing instruments after usage. Read more in section "Maintenance and care".
Adjusting the volume
Your hearing instruments automatically adjust the volume to the listening situation.
If you prefer manual volume adjustment, press the rocker switch or use a remote control.
Refer to section "Controls" for your personal settings.
An optional signal can indicate the volume change.
Changing the hearing program
Hearing programs change the characteristics of the sound coming through the hearing instrument. They help you to select the optimal setup for every listening situation. An optional signal can indicate the change of the hearing program.
To change the hearing program, press the push button briefly or use a remote control.
Refer to section "Controls" and to section "Settings" for your personal settings and for a list of your hearing programs.
i
If the AutoPhone function is activated, the hearing program switches automatically to a telephone program when the telephone receiver is close to the ear. Read more in section "On the phone".
i
Your Hearing Care Professional can configure your hearing instruments so that they switch automatically to the audio shoe program if the audio shoe has been attached. Read more in section "Audio input".
Further adjustments (optional)
The controls of your hearing instruments can also be used to change, for example, the sound balance or the tinnitus noiser level. Sound balance allows you to adjust the bass and treble to your preferences.
Refer to section "Controls" for your personal settings.
Locking the controls
To prevent any accidental operation you can lock the controls. When the controls are locked, both push button and rocker switch are disabled.
To lock the controls, press the top of the rocker switch and hold it. Simultaneously press the push button for 3 seconds.
To unlock the controls, press the bottom of the rocker switch and hold it. Simultaneously press the push button for 3 seconds.
Using two hearing instruments
Very rarely does hearing loss occur in only one ear, therefore the use of two instruments ensures that you are improving your hearing in all situations allowing you to better participate in your daily life.
When controlling two instruments you have the following options to, for example, change the hearing program:
- You can control each hearing instrument separately. - You can control both hearing instruments simultaneously.
Your Hearing Care Professional has to activate the "e2e wireless" function, enabling both hearing instruments to exchange information. You can then use either a remote control or the user controls on either of your instruments for the desired function e.g. volume change.
The control elements of both instruments can even be set differently – thus offering you the degree of control you really need.
On the phone
When you are on the phone, hold the telephone receiver slightly above your ear. The hearing instrument and telephone receiver have to be aligned. Turn the receiver slightly so that the ear is not completely covered.
Telephoneprogram
You may prefer a certain volume when using the phone. Ask your Hearing Care Professional to configure a telephone program.
Switch to the telephone program whenever you are on the phone or use the automatic program switch. Whether a telephone program or the automatic program switch are configured for your hearing instrument is listed in section "Settings".
Automatic program switch (AutoPhone)
Your hearing instrument can automatically select the telephone program when you hold the telephone receiver close to the ear. When you end the phone call, the previously used program is activated.
If you want to use this function, ask your Hearing Care Professional to do the following:
■ Activate the AutoPhone function.
- Check the telephone receiver's magnetic field.
For the automatic program switch, your hearing instrument detects the telephone receiver's magnetic field. Not all telephones produce a magnetic field strong enough to activate the AutoPhone function. In this case, you can use the Siemens AutoPhone magnet, which is available as an accessory, and attach it to the telephone receiver.
NOTICE
See the AutoPhone magnet user guide for instructions on how to position the magnet.
▶ Use the approved AutoPhone magnet only. Ask your Hearing Care Professional for this accessory.
NOTICE
Magnets can disturb electrical devices and delete stored data.
Keep magnets away from computers, monitors, television sets, storage media and other electronic equipment/devices.
WARNING
Risk of affecting life support systems!
Use a magnet only when it is a safe distance away from life support systems, such as pacemakers or magnetic valves. For example, the safe distance between pacemaker and magnet should be at least 10 cm (4 inches).
Audio induction loops
Many telephones as well as public places like theatres offer the audio signal (music and speech) via an audio induction loop. With this system, your hearing instruments can directly receive the desired signal – without distracting noise in the environment.
You can usually recognize audio induction loop systems by certain signs.
Ask your Hearing Care Professional to configure a telecoil program.
Switch to the telecoil program whenever you are in a place with an audio induction loop.
Whether the telecoil program is configured for your hearing instrument is listed in section "Settings".
Telecoil program and remote control
NOTICE
For instruments with wireless connectivity: When the telecoil program is active, the remote control may cause a pulsing noise.
▶ Use the remote control with a distance greater than 10 cm (4 inches).
Audioinput
With an audio shoe you can connect your hearing instrument to an FM system. An FM system gathers speech at the voice source (via a separate microphone) and transmits the sound directly to the hearing instrument. This can be useful for adults in difficult listening situations and for children in classrooms.
Nowadays, most FM systems allow for coupling with audio devices like a MP3 player.
Your Hearing Care Professional can configure your hearing instruments so that they switch automatically to the audio shoe program if the audio shoe has been attached
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
Connect audio input only to a device conforming to IEC 60065, the IEC-Norm for audio, video and other electronic devices.
NOTICE
Use an approved audio shoe only. Ask your Hearing Care Professional for this accessory.
NOTICE
Hold the audio shoe tightly when you remove the FM receiver.
