Your hearing inruments
This user guide describes optional features that
your hearing inruments may or may not have.
Ask your Hearing Care Professional to indicate the
features that are valid for your hearing inruments.
Inrument type
Your hearing inruments are a RIC (Receiver-in-Canal)
model. The receiver is placed within the ear canal and
connected to the inrument via a receiver cable. The
inruments are not intended for children under the age
of 3 years or persons with a developmental age of under
3 years.
Getting to know your hearing inruments 
It is recommended to familiarize yourself with your new
hearing inruments. With the inruments in your hand
try using the controls and note their location on the
inrument. This will make it easier for you to feel and
press the controls while wearing the hearing inruments.
If you have problems pressing the controls of your
hearing inruments while wearing them, you can
ask your Hearing Care Professional about a remote
control option.

Signia Pure primax EN.indd 20 18.01.2016 13:13:57
21
Changing the hearing program
Depending on the liening situation, your hearing
inruments automatically adju their sound.
Your hearing inruments may also have several
hearing programs which allow you to change the sound,
if needed. An optional signal tone can indicate the
program change.
XTo change the hearing program, press the push button
or the rocker switch, or use a remote control.
Refer to section "Controls" for the setting of your
controls. Refer to section "Settings" for a li of your

automatically to a telephone program when the
telephone receiver is close to the ear.
Read more in section "On the phone".
Further adjuments (optional)
The controls of your hearing inruments can also be
used to change, for example, the sound balance or the
tinnitus therapy signal level. Sound balance allows you to
adju the bass and treble to your preferences.
Refer to section "Controls" for the setting of your controls.
Signia Pure primax EN.indd 21 18.01.2016 13:13:57
22
Special liening situations
Setting the focus (optional)
If you want to focus more directly on your conversation
partner in front of you, or if you want to lien to the
broader environment – the spatial congurator gives you
control over your liening preference.
You can select dierent levels – from "focus to frontal
position" (left picture) to "middle position" (center picture)
to "hear all around" (right picture).
Prerequisites:
You need to wear two hearing inruments.
On one of your hearing inruments the rocker switch
needs to be set for the spatial congurator by your
Hearing Care Professional.
Refer to section "Controls" for the setting of the
rocker switch.
With a suitable smartphone app you have even more
control options.
Signia Pure primax EN.indd 22 18.01.2016 13:13:57
23
Setting the focus manually:
XIf you have several hearing programs, change to
hearing program 1.
XPress the rocker switch that is set for this function.
The mid level is active by default.
XPress the upper rocker switch to focus more to
the front, or the lower rocker switch to lien to
the broader environment.
This function is intended for unique and temporary
liening situations. The hearing inruments thus return
automatically to the automatic setting of program 1 if
the sound environment changes signicantly or after
approximately 45 minutes. You can also exit the spatial
congurator mode.
Exiting spatial congurator mode:
XToggle to the minimum or maximum level.
An optional signal tone can indicate the minimum and
maximum level.
XToggle one ep further.
The same signal tone as for changing the hearing
program is played, indicating that you have exited
the spatial congurator mode.
Signia Pure primax EN.indd 23 18.01.2016 13:13:57
24
On the phone
When you are on the phone, hold
the telephone receiver slightly above
your ear. The hearing inrument and
telephone receiver have to be aligned.
Turn the receiver slightly so that
the ear is not completely covered.
Telephone program
You may prefer a certain volume when using the phone.
Ask your Hearing Care Professional to congure a
telephone program.
XSwitch to the telephone program whenever you are on
the phone or use the automatic program switch.
If a telephone program or the automatic program
switch are congured for your hearing inruments,
it is lied in section "Settings".
Signia Pure primax EN.indd 24 18.01.2016 13:13:58
25
Automatic program switch (AutoPhone or TwinPhone)
Your hearing inrument can automatically select the
telephone program when you bring the telephone handset
close to the hearing inrument. TwinPhone even transmits
the call into both ears. When you are nished speaking
on the phone, move the handset away from the hearing
inrument and microphone mode will re-engage.
If you want to use this function, ask your Hearing Care
Professional to do the following:
Activate the AutoPhone or the TwinPhone function.
Check the telephone receiver’s magnetic eld.
For the automatic program switch, your hearing
inrument detects the telephone receiver’s magnetic
eld. Not all telephones produce a magnetic eld rong
enough to activate this function. In this case, you can
use the AutoPhone magnet, which is available as an
accessory, and attach it to the telephone receiver.
See the AutoPhone magnet user guide for inructions on
how to position the magnet.
NOTICE
Use the approved AutoPhone magnet only. Ask
your Hearing Care Professional for this accessory.
Signia Pure primax EN.indd 25 18.01.2016 13:13:58
26
Audio induction loops
Some telephones and public places like theatres oer the
audio signal (music and speech) via an audio induction
loop. With this syem, your hearing inruments can
directly receive the desired signal – without diracting
noise in the environment.
You can usually recognize audio induction
loop syems by certain signs.
Ask your Hearing Care Professional to congure a
telecoil program.
XSwitch to the telecoil program whenever you are in a
place with an audio induction loop.
If a telecoil program is congured for your hearing
inruments, it is lied in section "Settings".
Telecoil program and remote control
NOTICE
For inruments with wireless connectivity:
When the telecoil program is active, the remote
control may cause a pulsing noise.
XUse the remote control with a diance greater
than 10 cm (4 inches).
Signia Pure primax EN.indd 26 18.01.2016 13:13:58

Maintenance and care
To prevent damage it is important that you take care of
your hearing inruments and follow a few basic rules,
which will soon become a part of your daily routine.
Hearing inruments
Drying and orage
XDry your hearing inruments overnight.
XAsk your Hearing Care Professional for recommended
drying products.
XFor longer periods of non-use, ore your hearing
inruments with open battery compartment and
batteries removed in a drying syem to avoid
the adverse eects of moiure.
Cleaning
Your hearing inruments have a protective coating.
However, if not cleaned regularly you may damage
the hearing inruments or cause personal injury.
XClean your hearing inruments daily with a soft, dry
tissue.
XNever use running water or immerse the
devices in water.
XNever apply pressure while cleaning.
Signia Pure primax EN.indd 27 18.01.2016 13:13:58
28
X
Ask your Hearing Care Professional for recommended
cleaning products, special care sets, or more
information on how to keep your hearing inruments
in good condition.
Ear pieces
Cleaning
Cerumen (ear wax) may accumulate on the ear pieces.
This may aect sound quality. Clean the ear pieces daily.
For all types of ear pieces:
XClean the ear piece
right after removal with
a soft and dry tissue.
This prevents that
cerumen becomes
dry and hard.
For Click Domes:
XSqueeze the tip of the dome.
Signia Pure primax EN.indd 28 18.01.2016 13:13:58
29
Exchanging
Exchange andard ear pieces approximately every
three months. Replace them sooner if you notice
cracks or other changes. The procedure for exchanging
andard ear pieces depends on the type of ear piece.
In section "Components and names", your Hearing Care
Professional has marked your type of ear piece.
Exchanging Click Domes
If you have problems removing the old Click Dome,
use the removal tool or follow the inructions on the
packaging of the Click Domes:
The removal tool is available as an accessory.
XTake particular care that
the new Click Dome clicks
noticeable in place.

Professional maintenance
Your Hearing Care Professional can perform a thorough
professional cleaning and maintenance.
Cuom-made ear pieces and wax lters should be
exchanged as needed by a professional.
Ask you Hearing Care Professional for your individual
recommendation of maintenance intervals and for
support.
Signia Pure primax EN.indd 30 18.01.2016 13:13:59

Further information
Wireless functionality
Your hearing inruments are equipped with wireless
functionality. This provides synchronization between
your two hearing inruments:
If you change the program or volume on one
inrument, the other one is automatically changed,
too.
Both hearing inruments automatically adapt to
the liening situation simultaneously.
Wireless functionality enables the use of a remote
control.
Accessories
The type of available accessories depends on the
inrument type. Examples are: a remote control, an
audio reaming device, or a smartphone app for
remote control.
Some hearing inrument types support CROS and
BiCROS solutions for people with single-sided deafness.
Consult your Hearing Care Professional for further
information.
