Soft Tip (B); Battery (C) - ExSilent Q Mode D'emploi

Battery contacts (1, 3)
The battery contacts transport the supply voltage from the battery to the microprocessor inside the
device. The contacts are made of a stainless alloy.
Speaker opening (5)
The processed and amplified sound emits through this opening and is directed via the soft tip
towards the ear drum.
Soft tip
(B)
The soft tip of the Q is made of a biocompatible plastic and designed as a disposable,
Thus enabling it to be replaced regularly. For its maintenance and cleaning, please refer to the
chapter 'Maintenance and use' (pg. 18). The illustration can be different from your choice of size
for soft tip.
Pull cord (9)
To take the Q out of the ear, the pull cord is used. After insertion of the Q the pull cord will be
situated behind the tragus (pg. 14), which makes it nearly invisible.

Lamellas (10)
The lamellas ensure a seal, which prevents the sound of the speaker to interfere with that of the
microphone. Additionally, the lamellas provide a good 'grip' inside the ear.
Battery
(C)
Q uses type 10 cell batteries, in the package indicated with a yellow sticker. The device is switched
off upon the removal of the battery. The flat plus pole (+) of the battery makes contact with the
large battery contact (nr.3, image) that lies on the larger, round facet of the battery compartment.
The spherical minus pole (-) with its circular groove makes contact with the small battery contact
(nr. 1, image).
