Replacing the battery

Use battery size 13 for your instruments.

Using the nail grip, open the battery compartment

completely and remove the old battery.

Remove the protective foil from

the new battery and wait 2 minutes.

Preparation

Insert the new battery with the “+” sign (flat side

of the battery) in line with the “+” marked on

the battery compartment and close it. The correct

battery orientation can also be seen on the inside

of the battery compartment.

Handle the battery compartment with care and

do not use excessive force.

If there is any resistance when closing the

compartment, ensure that the battery is

inserted correctly. The compartment may not

close properly if the battery is upside down,

and the instrument will not work.

When your hearing system is not in use, leave

the battery compartment open to allow any

moisture to evaporate.

Low battery warning

An acoustic signal gives you an early warning that

the battery is approaching exhaustion. You have

approximately 30 minutes to replace the battery after

hearing the signal. This reserve may be higher

and the hearing system will repeat the low battery

warning approximately every 30 minutes.

Please note that the battery consumption increases

with regular use of the myPilot command center,

the iCom communication interface or the remote

controls KeyPilot2 or WatchPilot2.

Preparation

Tamper proof battery compartment

To protect children from the dangers of playing with

batteries, a special locking system may be mounted on

the instruments. This locking system can also be used

for identifying left and right instruments (see page 15).

To lock the battery compartment, after it is closed:

Use a small screwdriver and turn the screw to its

middle position (slot vertical).

To unlock the battery compartment: Turn the screw to

its horizontal position.

Please make sure that the screw is in the unlocked

position when you close the battery compartment.

Locked Unlocked

The ON /OFF switch is not available when the

battery compartment is locked.

To switch the hearing system OFF, it is necessary

to unlock the tamper proof battery compartment.

Preparation

Identifying left and right instruments

It is important to use the correct hearing system for

each ear.

Your hearing care professional can mark the hearing

systems for you. The color code on the housing will

identify left and right hearing systems.

The color code is as follows:

red = right

blue = left

Inserting your

hearing system

with earmold into

your ear

Using the hand on the same side you wear your hearing

system, grasp the earmold between the thumb and

index finger.

Raise your hand to your ear making sure the canal

portion of the earmold faces your ear. Tilt your hand

slightly forward.

Preparation

Place the canal portion of the earmold inside your ear

canal. If it is difficult to get it into place, stretch your ear

by pulling it gently backwards and upwards with your

other hand. When the canal portion is in place, twist the

earmold backwards so that it fits into the concha and

the helix portion is under the fold.

Now position the hearing system behind the ear.

Be careful not to twist the tubing.

Preparation

Check the placement of the earmold by tracing the

contour of the ear with your finger.

To remove your hearing system, grasp the earmold,

not the tubing, and pull it out of your ear gently but

firmly.

햲

Preparation

Inserting your hearing system with Fit’nGo

slim tube into your ear

Open domes and SlimTip

Place the hearing instrument over the top

of your ear 햲.

Hold the slim tube where it attaches to the dome

or SlimTip 햳 and gently push the dome or SlimTip

into your ear canal.

The dome or SlimTip should be placed far enough

into the ear so that the slim tube lies flush with your

head.

Place the retention tail (if available) of the slim tube

into the bowl of your concha 햴.

To remove your hearing instrument, grasp the slim tube

near the dome and pull it out of your ear gently but

firmly.

햳

햴

Closed domes

The closed dome has a different design to other

domes (refer to picture). The closed dome consists of

two fins overlapping each other. Before inserting

the closed dome into the ear canal it is important to

check the position of these fins. The larger fin must

be positioned over the smaller fin 햵. If the position is

incorrect 햶, you can easily adjust it. With one finger,

gently bend the bigger fin forwards and then back

again so that it overlaps the smaller one 햷. Make sure

that the slit of the closed dome is in a horizontal

position on the tube unit 햵. Your closed dome is now

ready to be inserted into the ear.

In very rare cases, the dome can remain in the ear

canal when removing the slim tube from the

ear. In the unlikely case that any parts remain in

the ear canal, it is strongly recommended to see

a medical specialist for safe removal.

Preparation

Correct position 햵

Fine tuning based on your personal preferences

The fitting process has limited capabilities of reproducing

the full spectrum of your personal sound environments.

This limitation is overcome by the ability of your hearing

systems to learn from your real life volume adjustments.

Exélia Art offers a unique functionality called “Self

Learning”. In every environment, it logs your personal

volume changes within the hearing instrument. This

means that every time you change the volume of your

hearing system, this correction is taken into account

to apply your preferred volume automatically when you

are in a similar environment next time.

Self Learning cleverly ensures that your volume

corrections in each environment contribute to a fully

personalized volume setting.

Preparation

Switching ON / OFF

Switching OFF

Using the nail grip, slightly open

the battery compartment until it

snaps to its OFF position.

Switching ON

Close the battery compartment.

Your hearing systems are always

working in the default hearing

program and at your preferred

volume when turned ON.

Operation

Delayed activation

The Exélia Art hearing system requires several seconds

to start up. Your hearing care professional may have

activated a further delayed activation timer. This

function delays the activation of the hearing system

(for 9 or 15 seconds) after the battery door is closed

in order to avoid any disturbance while placing it

on your ear. An acoustic signal confirms when your

hearing system is switched on.

Controlling the volume

The volume of your hearing system can be

adjusted above or below the preset volume.

Volume up

Operation

Volume down

Note

쐍 A beep confirms each action on the volume

control. A double beep indicates that you have

reached the limit of your volume control range.

쐍 Phonak’s myPilot command center (see page 34)

can also control the volume.

쐍 You can control the volume with an optional remote

control such as the KeyPilot2 or WatchPilot2.

쐍 If not required, your hearing

care professional can remove or

disable the volume control

switch.

Operation

Hearing programs

Automatic mode

Exélia Art is able to recognize different hearing

environments and to automatically select the most

appropriate hearing program.

Additional program selection

Upon request, your hearing care professional can

program additional individual hearing programs

dedicated to specific hearing situations or FM use.

Additional programs are accessed via the myPilot

command center, the KeyPilot2 and WatchPilot2

remote controls and /or the program switch.

Program switch

The program switch allows manual toggling between

the “Automatic Mode”, the “Mute Mode” and

individual hearing programs. A short melody confirms

the selection of the “Automatic Mode”.

Synchronized manual control

An automatic synchronisation for volume adjustments

and program selection, called QuickSync, is integrated

in your hearing systems. Users wearing two hearing

instruments only have to activate the functionality on

one instrument; the other instrument will be adjusted

automatically.

ZoomControl

This special hearing program allows you to choose

from four directions in which to focus your hearing

systems (front, back, left or right). This special

program can be accessed via the myPilot command

center and/or the program switch on your hearing

system.

Telecoil (optional)

Your hearing care professional may have activated

a Telecoil in your hearing system. The programs with

Telecoil can be used with hearing system compatible

phones or via inductive loop systems (present in some

school settings, theaters, churches etc.).

Ask your hearing care professional to print out the

complete description of your individual hearing

programs and how to access them with your myPilot

command center, the program switch or a remote

control.

Operation

EasyPhone (optional)

The EasyPhone function enables your hearing system

to automatically select your telephone program when

the telephone handset is held close to your ear. An

acoustic signal confirms the switch. It automatically

returns to the previous hearing program when the

telephone handset is removed from your ear.

Some telephones produce a magnetic field strong enough

to activate your EasyPhone function. Most types of

telephones require an additional magnet fixed on the

receiver to activate this function.

Fixing the EasyPhone magnet

Clean the telephone handset

thoroughly. Hold the telephone

handset nearly vertically, similar

to making a telephone call. Hold

the magnet near to the “listening

end” of your telephone handset

and release it. The magnet will

automatically flip to the correct

side.

If you hold the telephone

receiver in your right hand

when making telephone

calls, position the magnet in

the upper right half of the

receiver.

If you hold the telephone

receiver in your left hand,

position the magnet in the

upper left half of the receiver.

Use the double-sided adhesive

tape to stick the magnet to

the location described above.

Do not cover the sound

openings of your handset.

Instead of holding the phone

against your ear canal, hold the

earpiece of the phone against

the microphone, which is at the

front of your Exélia Art.

Operation

Use of EasyPhone

Use the telephone in a normal manner. An acoustic

signal indicates the activation of the EasyPhone

program. At the beginning, you may need to move

the handset slightly to find the optimum position

for a reliable switch and comfortable hearing.

If necessary, move the magnet to another position on

the handset to increase your comfort of use.

Keep magnets out of reach of children and pets.

If a magnet is swallowed, please seek the advice

of a medical practitioner.

The magnet used to strengthen the magnetic

field of your phone may affect some medical

devices or electronic systems.

Always keep the magnet (or the telephone equipped

with the magnet) at least 30 cm (12”) away

from pacemakers, credit cards, floppy disks and

other magnetically sensitive devices.

High distortion during dialing or phoning may

mean that the phone receiver is stressed by

the magnet. To avoid any damage, please move

the magnet to another place on the telephone

receiver.

Wind and Weather Protector

Important: The Wind and Weather Protector is an

exclusive Phonak system designed to protect the

high-tech microphones from dust and humidity – as

a result they last much longer, reducing the service

costs of your hearing systems. The life span of the Wind

and Weather Protector should be up to several

months, depending on the environment (humidity, dust,

perspiration etc.). The Wind and Weather Protector

should not be cleaned but replaced regularly. Your

hearing systems should never be used without the Wind

and Weather Protector.

Maintenance

The following care and maintenance tips will help

extend the life span and ensure the efficiency of your

Wind and Weather Protector:

Never wipe or clean the Wind and Weather

Protector – it may lose its special acoustic and

protection properties.

The Wind and Weather Protector is made of two

identical parts. Always replace both protectors

together.

Hair spray, make-up etc. may damage the Wind

and Weather Protector. Remove your hearing

system before applying cosmetics.

Avoid touching the Wind and Weather Protector

when you place an instrument on your ear or

press the program switch.

Important: Consult your hearing care professional

about changing the Wind and Weather Protector if

you experience any of the following:

쐍 The hearing system sounds quieter than usual

쐍 There is a reduction in sound quality

쐍 Understanding in noise becomes more difficult

쐍 It becomes more difficult to determine the direction

of sounds.

After some experience, you will get to know when the

Wind and Weather Protector needs to be replaced.

It is advisable to have it replaced before the hearing

system performance is affected.

Maintenance

Fit’nGo slim tube

The following care and maintenance instructions

will help extend the life span and ensure the quality

and comfort of your hearing instrument fit with

slim tube.

The slim tube feeds the amplified sound from the

hearing instrument into the ear. It is important that the

slim tube, the dome or SlimTip fits correctly into your

ear. If the slim tube, the dome or SlimTip irritates your

ear in any way and prevents you from wearing your

hearing instrument, please contact your hearing care

professional. You should never attempt to modify

the shape of the slim tube yourself. The slim tube, the

dome or SlimTip should be cleaned regularly.

Step 1

Hold the dome and remove the ear wax from the grid

of the dome with a small brush or fabric.

If hearing performance does not improve after step 1

proceed to step 2.

햲

Step 2

Remove the slim tube from the hearing instrument by

unscrewing and taking it off

햲 . Use a damp cloth to

clean the slim tube, the dome or SlimTip on the outside

and use the cleaning rod to “push” any debris out of

the sound tube.

Maintenance

햳

Insert the cleaning rod where the slim tube attaches

to the hearing instrument and push it all the way

through the slim tube and out through the dome or

SlimTip

햳 . After cleaning it is important to remove

the cleaning rod. It is not recommended to submerge

or rinse the slim tube, the dome or SlimTip in water,

as there is a risk that a water drop may become lodged

in the slim tube.

If this should occur, it will prevent sound going

through the slim tube, and may be harmful to the

hearing instrument’s electronics.

The slim tube and dome should be changed every

third month, or sooner if the slim tube becomes

stiff or brittle. Only your hearing care professional

should change the dome or SlimTip. This is to

ensure a secure & safe fit of the dome or SlimTip

to the slim tube.

Maintenance
