Battery insertion and removal
Handling the battery
The protective tab on your battery should only be removed when you are ready to use the battery.
Three useful tips:
•The positive (+) side of the battery is always the smooth side. You can recognize the negative
•Always keep spare batteries with you.
•If you think you cannot change the battery by yourself, ask someone to help you: a family member, friend or your hearing instrument specialist.
Inserting the battery:
Before using your hearing instru- ment, place the battery into the bat- tery compartment door. Using the fingernail of either your thumb or index finger, pull the tab on the bat- tery compartment door outward until the door swings open all the way (see illustration).
