OPERATING THE CHARGER

Getting ready for use

Power supply
You can connect your charger to different power supplies with 5V DC, 500 mA output:

Use only the included USB cable.

Connect the cable to the charger:

1. Micro USB port

Power on
When the charger is connected to the power supply, the light indicators flash white 5 times and then turn off:

The charger is now in standby mode and ready to charge your hearing aid.

Charging the hearing aid

Gently place your hearing aid in the charging well. The hearing aid turns off automatically.

When connected to power, the charger can charge two hearing aids simultaneously; however, each hearing aid can be charged individually, depending on the state of the hearing aid.

This means that if one hearing aid is fully charged and placed in the charger, it will not charge.

However, if the other hearing aid is not charged, it will charge.

Charging your hearing aid fully will take approximately 4 hours. If you charge your hearing aid for half an hour, you will have approximately 4 hours of use.

Charging indicators

While the charger is detecting the hearing aid, the light indicator turns solid yellow:

Once the charger has detected the hearing aid, the charging will begin.

The light indicator will flash green to indicate that the hearing aid is low on battery and less than 40% charged:

The light indicator will glow green to indicate that the hearing aid is more than 40% charged:

The light indicator will turn solid green to indicate that the hearing aid is 100% charged:

After charging
Avoid removing the hearing aids from the charging wells by pulling the ear wire/tube, as this could damage the connection to the hearing aid.

Instead, put your fingers round the hearing aid when removing it from the charger.

When you remove the hearing aid from the charger, the hearing aid turns on after a few seconds.

Remember to turn the hearing aid and/or the charger off if you are not going to use them right away.

Immediately after charging, the hearing aid may temporarily feel warm.

If you are not comfortable with this, wait a few minutes, for the hearing aid to reach room temperature, before putting the hearing aid on.
