Batteries

Your hearing aid uses a size 312 battery.

Be sure to peel the sticker off the battery and wait at least one minute before using. Zinc batteries use air as an energy source and need a minute or two to fully charge.

See instructions for inserting the battery on the next page.

Note: if your hearing aid beeps continuously, the battery needs to be changed.

4. Avoid physical shock to the hearing aid, such as dropping on a hard surface, or dropping something heavy on the device.

5. Avoid exposure to extreme heat or moisture. Use the supplied carrying case to keep the hearing aid covered when not in use.
