Remove old battery using the battery removal tool side of the AMP wand or simply push the battery out from the side with your fingers. 3. Remove the tab from the new battery. 4.
Preparation Battery Indicator Tones An indicator will sound when the battery voltage is low. You have approximately 5 minutes* to replace the battery. An indicator will sound just before the battery stops working. * Actual time between low battery indicator and shut down will vary depending on environmental noise levels and brand of battery used.
Preparation Operation Insertion and Removal To insert the hearing instrument: 1. Hold the instrument with your thumb and forefinger grasping the removal handle. 2. Gently insert the canal tip of the instrument into your ear canal. Softly press the instrument into place with your finger. To turn ON: Briefly touch and remove the magnetic end of the AMP wand to the front of the hearing device. A tone series indicates that the hearing device is on.

Hearing System Care Instrument Care Do your best to keep your hearing instrument clean at all times. Heat, moisture and foreign substances can result in poor performance.
Tips for Better Communication Your hearing care professional will recommend an appropriate schedule to help you adapt to your new hearing system. It will take practice, time and patience for your brain to adapt to the new sounds that your hearing system provides. Hearing is only part of how we share thoughts, ideas and feelings. Reading lips, facial expressions and gestures can help the learning process and add to what amplification alone may miss.
