Afterward, use the W &H BeHear app to manage, customize, and get help for your BeHear headset.

Turning the Headset ON and OFF

2. To turn OFF BeHear ACCESS press and hold the power button until the unit vibrates, and the light blue LED turns off.

Charging the Headset

Initially, the battery should have enough charge to perform the Hearing Assessment. Afterward, charge the battery up to 3 hours until the LED indicator turns green.

• Connect charging cradle to power outlet and place headset in the cradle.

4. In the W&H BeHear app locate your BeHear ACCESS headset, followed by its serial number, in the Available section. Tap that entry.

5. When pairing is complete BeHear ACCESS will move to the Paired section, and a √ will appear.
   

Wearing Recommendations

When not in use, ear buds can be secured with magnets and rest on your chest.

Ear Fittings

If the default fittings are not comfortable, replace them.
The fittings you find most comfortable should be used during the personalization procedure in the next section.*

• Choose an ear hook with a comfortable fit.

• Replace the earbud, squeezing it gently to attach it to the oval speaker.

• Place foam covers for wind noise reduction (optional).

• The open ear buds may be used for the hearing assessment, but the resulting graphic will not represent the true audiogram values. However, headset performance will be optimized for those fittings.

Personalization

Adjust the acoustic performance of the headset to suit your own personal hearing preferences.

1. Put on the headset, inserting the earbuds.
   

2. Choose Personal >> Assessment in the W&H BeHear app.

3. Follow the prompts to perform the hearing assessment.

4. Save and apply the results to the headset.
