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
Open the battery compartment with your fingernail as shown in the illustration.
Swivel open the battery compart- ment door, if not already open. Place the proper size battery so that the "+” symbol on the battery matches the "+” marked on the battery compartment.
