Drying
Use conventional products to dry your hearing aids
or our MECHARGE
Hearing Care Professional for recommended drying
products and for individual instructions on when to dry
your hearing aids.
Storage
■
Short-term storage (up to several days): Turn off
your hearing aids by placing them in the charger.
The charger must be on. If the charger is not on
and you place your hearing aids in the charger, the
hearing aids are not turned off.
Note that when you turn off the hearing aids via a
remote control or smartphone app, the hearing aids
are not turned off completely. They are in standby
mode and still draw some power.
■
Long-term storage (weeks, months, ...): First,
fully charge your hearing aids. Leave them in the
MECHARGE
Once the hearing aids are fully charged, the
charger and the hearing aids go into hibernate
mode to save power. We recommend using
drying products while storing the hearing aids.
At 6 month intervals you will have to charge
the hearing aids to avoid an unrecoverable
deep-discharge of the power cell. Deep-discharged
power cells cannot be charged anymore and
they have to be replaced. We recommend
recharging more frequently than 6 month intervals.
Observe the storage conditions in section
"Operating, transport and storage conditions."
