Charging Your Hearing Aids
Your hearing aid uses a rechargeable battery as its power source. To charge the battery:

Plug your charger into an outlet.
Place your hearing aids in the charger with the charging contacts touching the charging posts.
Your hearing aids will turn off automatically and begin to charge.

The front of the charger is equipped with two LED indicators to provide information about hearing aid charging. The front
LED indicators will glow green to indicate successful charging.
When the hearing aids are fully charged (approx 3.5 hrs charge time), the front LED indicators will be solid green.
Your hearing aids will automatically power on when removed from the charger.

Battery Indicator
You will hear an indicator through your hearing aid when battery voltage is low and the battery needs charging.

Onboard Battery:

The back of the charger is equipped with four LED indicators to provide information about the status of the onboard battery. The onboard battery allows charging of the hearing aids up to three times while the charger is away from a power source.
When away from a power source, the back LED indicators will be solid green indicating the amount of charge available for the onboard battery. The LED indicators will turn off after 10 seconds to preserve power.
One blinking LED on the back of the charger indicates that the onboard battery is low and the charger should be connected to a power source.
When plugged into a power source, the back LED indicators will glow green to indicate successful onboard battery charging.
