OPERATING THE CHARGER

**Getting ready for use

**

Power supply
For optimal operation, connect your charger to the mains and use only the included cable and power supply.
Please make sure that the USB port is USB 2.0 compatible.

Connect the cable to the charger:
Power on
When the charger is connected to the power supply, the indicator lights 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 aids in their respective charging wells and the receivers in the maintenance compartment. The hearing aids turn off automatically. Then close the lid.
Left hearing aid
Right hearing aid
When connected to the power supply, the charger can charge two hearing aids simultaneously. Depending on the state of the hearing aids, each hearing aid can also be charged individually. If one hearing aid is fully charged and placed in the charger, it will not charge, but the other hearing aid, which is not fully charged, will be charged. 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. While charging the hearing aids, the maintenance (Ultraviolet-C treatment and drying) is carried out. The maintenance cycle takes 30 minutes.

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 earwire, as this could damage the connection between the earwire and the hearing aid. Instead, put your fingers around 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 it off if you are not going to use it 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.

Maintenance

The light indicator will flash white to indicate that the maintenance cycle is in progress (Ultraviolet-C treatment or drying):
The light indicator turns solid white to indicate the end of the maintenance cycle:
If the lid is opened during the maintenance cycle, the cycle is paused but the charging continues. The maintenance cycle will restart when the lid is closed.
