HF3 WAX PROTECTION SYSTEM
(RIE MODELS ONLY)
An HF3 wax fi lter is mounted in front of the receiver
tube for protection against wax and moisture. Use
the small cleaning brush to gently brush away loose
wax and debris from the tip of the
receiver of the hearing instrument.
This should be done on a regular
basis to ensure that the sound
outlet does not become blocked.
If the HF3 wax fi lter becomes blocked, it will need to
be replaced.
• For HP receiver tubes, contact your hearing health-
care professional.
• For NP/LP receiver tubes, contact your hearing
healthcare professional or use the following instruc-
tions if you have been instructed to change the HF3
wax fi lter on the NP/LP receiver tube yourself.
Changing the HF3 wax fi lter (NP/LP receiver tube)
To remove the used wax fi lter:
1. Twist the metal end of the blue HF3 tool into the
wax fi lter on the hearing instrument approxi-
mately one and a half turns.
2. Pull the HF3 tool out and away from the receiver
tube. The wax fi lter should pull out with the tool.
If not, repeat Step #1, with an additional twist of
the tool.
