Water resistance
Your new hearing instrument is water resistant
Although your hearing instrument has achieved an IP57* classification, it is referred to
as being water resistant, not waterproof.
Should your hearing instrument come into contact with water and stop working, please
follow these guidelines:
• Gently wipe off any water on the outside of the instrument
• Open the battery door and remove the battery
• Gently wipe off any water in the battery drawer
• Let the hearing instrument dry with the battery door left open for approx. 30 minutes
• Insert a new fresh battery and your hearing instrument should work normally again
Using an anti-humidity kit can help to prevent these problems and may even extend the
life of your hearing instrument. Consult your Hearing Care Professional for further advice.
