General warnings
i
Hearing instruments can be dangerous if improperly used.
• Consult a physician if you find a foreign object in your ear canal, if you experience skin irritation or if
excessive ear wax accumulates with the use of the instrument.
• Different types of radiation, (e.g. from X-ray, MRI, NMR, CT scans), may damage the instrument. There-
fore, do not wear the instrument during these or other corresponding scanning procedures. Other types
of radiation (burglary alarms, room surveillance systems, radio equipment, mobile telephones, etc.) will
not dam age the instrument. They could, however, momentarily affect the sound quality or create strange
sounds from the instruments.
• Do not wear the instrument in mines or other explosive areas, unless those areas are certified for hearing
instrument use.
• Do not allow others to use your hearing instruments. This may cause damage to the hearing inst ruments
or to the hearing of the other individual.
• Instrument usage by children or mentally challenged persons should be supervised at all times to ensure
their safety.
• Warning to hearing care professionals: Special care should be exercised in selecting and fitting hear-
inginstruments with maximum sound pressure level that exceeds 132dB SPL with an IEC 60711:1981
occluded ear simulator. There may be a risk of impairment of the remaining hearing.
• The hearing instrument contains small parts that could be swallowed by children. Please be mindful not
to leave children unsupervised with hearing instruments.
General precautions
i
• Wearing an instrument might cause an increased production of earwax. In rare cases, the anti-allergenic
materials may cause skin irritation. If so, or if in doubt, consult your physician or ENT.
• For use of wireless functionality, only use Beltone Direct Line accessories. For further guidance, please
refer to the User Guide of the relevant Beltone Direct Line accessory.
• Only connect Beltone hearing instruments to Beltone accessories intended and qualified to be used with
Beltone hearing instruments.
• Only use original Beltone consumables, e.g. tubes and domes.
• Never attempt to modify the shape of the hearing instrument, earmoulds, or tubing yourself.
• When wireless function is activated, the device uses low-powered digitally coded transmissions in order
to communicate with other wireless devices. Although unlikely, nearby electronic devices may be af-
fected. In that case, move the hearing instrument away from the affected electronic device.
• When using wireless functionality and the devices are affected by electromagnetic interference, move
away from the source.
