Instructions for Use

Inserting the battery into the Phonito Nano

Phonito Nano requires 1 x A10 Zinc Air battery. Failure to use the correct battery may cause damage to the earpiece and will void the warranty. We recommend to use Phonak batteries to guaranty the best performance.

• Open the battery compartment by pressing the raised portion of the battery door.
  
• Remove the sticker from the battery.
• With the (+) symbol or hole facing inside, insert the battery into the battery holder.
  
• Close the battery holder.
  
• This process switches the earpiece ON.
  Your Phonito Nano is now ready to use.

Inserting Phonito Nano in the ear

• After deciding which ear to wear your Phonito Nano in, hold the receiver between thumb and forefinger so that the green cerumen filter (waxfilter) points upwards.
  
• Carefully guide the earpiece into your ear canal. Ensure that the earpiece sits as far as possible inside the ear canal as well as in the best and still comfortable position. Depending on the shape of your ear canal, you may need to gently twist the earpiece into place to ensure the best position.
  
• To switch the earpiece OFF, open the battery compartment slightly by pressing the raised portion of the battery door.
  
• If the earpiece is not used regularly, remove its battery prior to storage.

Operating the Phonito Nano system (inc. inductive wiring)

• Connect the Phonak inductive wiring to your mobile radio. Wrap the induction loop around your neck and place either a wired PTT or the wireless PTT (see wireless PTT User Manual) in your hand. Turn on your radio. The Phonito Nano earpiece and the inductive wiring will now be fully operational.

System maintenance and care

• Phonito Nano is a high-tech product and should be treated with care.
• Clean it after use with a soft tissue or other hearing aid approved cleaning material.
• Check the green cerumen filter frequently; this filter protects the Phonito Nano against blockage from earwax and can be replaced if required.
• To replace the cerumen filter, please follow the "Cerumex Filter System" instructions provided separately.

Troubleshooting

No signal

• Check Phonito Nano is switched ON.
• Check the battery works and is installed with the (+) symbol facing inwards.
• Check the battery sticker has been removed.
• Check you are using Phonito Nano with inductive wiring from Phonak.
• Check the functionality of your radio.
• Check the radio connector.

Volume too low

• Check that the cerumen filter is not blocked and clean if necessary.
• Increase the volume of your radio.
• Check Phonito Nano is inserted correctly and deep enough into the ear canal.

Beeps

• Each time you turn ON Phonito Nano, you hear one "start-up" beep.
• If you hear sequences of three beeps in a row, please change the battery.
