2.2 Information on product safety

I

Your hearing aid is resistant to water, sweat and dust
under the conditions listed in chapter 5. After
exposure to any of these elements the hearing aid
must be cleaned and dried, as the hearing aid
contains sensitive electronic parts.

I

Protect your hearing aid from heat (never leave it
near a window or in the car). Never use a microwave
or other heating devices to dry your hearing aid. Ask
your hearing care professional about suitable drying
methods.

I

When you are not using your hearing aid, leave the
battery compartment open so that any
moisture can evaporate. Make sure that you always
completely dry your hearing aid after use. Store the
hearing aid in a safe, dry and clean place.

I

Do not drop your hearing aid! Dropping onto a hard
surface can damage your hearing aid.
