Helpful Hints
• NEVER FORCE THE DOOR SHUT; this
could result in serious damage; if the door
will not close securely, check that the battery
is inserted correctly
• Do not open the battery door too far or
damage is likely to occur
• Because of their size, it’s a good idea to
change and replace batteries above a table
or desk to reduce the risk of dropping the
instrument or battery
• Dispose of used batteries immediately in the
proper waste or recycling container
• Because batteries can vary in size and
performance, your hearing care professional
is your best source for lifespan estimates and
verification that you are using the proper size
and type
