Warnings Warnings
You should familiarize yourself fully with the following general warnings and the entire
contents of this booklet before using your HearIt All.
Misuse can result in sudden and permanent hearing loss
HearIt All is not a toy and therefore should be kept out of the reach of children and
anyone else e.g. people with learning difficulties who might swallow parts or otherwise
cause injury to themselves. Special attention should be paid to the smaller components
in order to prevent children from swallowing them and choking. If a part is swallowed,
see a doctor immediately.
Always make sure to set the volume controls correctly according to your hearing. By
using HearIt All with a sound pressure level that is too high, you may risk impairing your
hearing.
Never allow others to wear or use your HearIt All as incorrect/wrongful usage could
cause permanent damage to their hearing.
Dysfunction in HearIt All.
HearIt All may stop functioning, for instance if the batteries are discharged. You should
be aware of this possibility, in particular when you are in traffic or otherwise dependent
on warning sounds.
Interference
Your HearIt All has been thoroughly tested for interference, according to the most
stringent international standards. But new technical developments constantly bring
new products into society, and some may emit electromagnetic radiation, leading to
unforeseen interference in HearIt All. Examples include induction cooking appliances,
shop alarm systems, mobile telephones, fax machines, personal computer devices,
X-rays, computer tomography etc.
Your hearing instruments are designed to comply with the most stringent Standards of
International Electromagnetic Compatibility. However HearIt All might cause interference
with other medical devices. Such interference can also be caused by radio signals,
power line disturbances, airport metal detectors, electromagnetic fields from other
medical devices and electrostatic discharges.
Possible side effects
The otherwise non-allergenic materials used in hearing instruments may in rare cases
cause a skin irritation.Consult a doctor if you experience any side effects.
Use on Aircrafts
The HearIt All should not be used on board on aircrafts unless specifically permitted by
the flight personnel.
Implantable devices
HearIt All is designed to comply with the most stringent Standards of International
Electromagnetic Compatibility. However, HearIt All might cause interference with other
medical devices such as defibrillators and pacemakers. Please, contact the manufacturer
of your implantable device for information about the risk of disturbance. Interference
can also be caused by power line disturbances, airport metal detectors, electromagnetic
fields from other medical devices, radio signals and electrostatic discharges.
Do never exposure HearIt All to great heat by putting it in the oven, in the micro wave
oven or by burning it. There is a risk that it will explode and cause serious injury.
The safety of the use of HearIt All with auxillary input cable is determined by external signal
source. When the input cable is connected to mains-operated equipment, this equipment
must comply with IEC-60065, IEC-60601, IEC-60950 or equivalent safety standards.
The emission power from the HearIt All is below international emission limits for Human
Exposure. For comparison, the radiation of the HearIt All is equal to that of a Bluetooth
headset for a mobile telephone. HearIt All complies with international standards
concerning electromagnetic Compatibility.
