    What is firmware?

    Firmware is built-in software that controls the mini computer inside each of your hearing aids. Firmware needs to be updated occasionally, as Bernafon continually develops and improves it.

    Before performing a firmware update

    1

    Ensure that your mobile device is at least 50% charged or plugged into a power source.

    2

    Ensure that your hearing aids are not low on power.

    3

    Take off your hearing aids and keep them close to your device.

    To begin a firmware update

    1

    Tap Start the update.

    2

    The LED light indicators on your hearing aids flash green while the update is in progress.

    Don’t place rechargeable hearing aids in a charger, as this will turn them off.

    During a firmware update

    1

    Keep the app running on the screen of your device.

    Don’t open another app or close the Bernafon App during the update.

    2

    The firmware update usually takes a few minutes (maximum 10 minutes).

    3

    Your hearing aids will be muted until the update is completed.

    Once the firmware update is complete

    1

    On the Update successful screen, tap OK.

    2

    You may now close the app and start using your hearing aids again.
