Note:

Magnets can pose risks to electronics and magnetic storage

mediums when placed in close proximity. Take care not to

set magnets near computers, color monitors, television sets,

floppy discs, video/audio tapes and other electronic equip-

ment.

Keep magnets away from the reach of children. If swallowed

consult your physician.

Magnets may interfere with the operation of life supporting

systems (i. e. pacemakers, magnetic valves etc). Use magnet

only if not in doubt about the safe distance.

The Safe distance between pacemaker and magnet should

be at least 10 cm (4 inch).

See the AutoPhone magnet user guide for instructions on

how to position the magnet.

Use only the magnet, which is delivered with the hearing

instrument.
