1. Connect the USB charger cable to the charging station's input port, typically located at the back or side of the unit.
2. Plug the power supply plug into a standard electrical outlet.
3. The LED indicators on the charging station will illuminate briefly, indicating that the unit is receiving power.

Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the charging station itself (if it has an internal battery) or ensure it is connected to power before placing hearing aids inside. Refer to the LED indicators section for understanding charge status.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Charging Hearing Aids

1. Open the lid of the charging station.
2. Carefully place your GN ReSound LiNX Quattro hearing aids into their respective charging cradles. Ensure they are seated correctly. The left hearing aid typically goes into the left slot (often indicated by a blue marker), and the right hearing aid into the right slot (often indicated by a red marker).
3. Close the lid. Charging will begin automatically.

3.2 LED Indicators

The charging station features LED indicators to display the charging status of both the hearing aids and the charging station itself (if applicable). While specific patterns may vary, common indications include:

• Solid Green: Hearing aids are fully charged.
• Pulsing Green/Amber: Hearing aids are currently charging.
• Solid Red: An error has occurred, or hearing aids are not properly seated.
• Multiple LEDs (e.g., 4-5 dots): These often indicate the charge level of the charging station's internal battery (if equipped). More illuminated dots mean a higher charge.

Refer to the specific indicator patterns provided with your hearing aids for precise interpretation.

A full charge for your hearing aids typically takes a few hours. The charging station is designed to provide reliable power to keep your devices ready for extended use throughout the day.
