WARNING
Hearing aids and batteries can be dangerous if swal lowed or
used improperly. Swallowing or improper use can result in
severe injury or even fatalities. In case of ingestion, contact a
physician immediately and the 24 Hour National Button Bat-
tery Ingestion Hotline at (202) 625-3333.
• Keep hearing aids and their parts, accessories and batter-
ies out of reach of children and anyone else who might swal-
low such items or otherwise cause injury to themselves. Do
not change batteries in front of them and do not let them see
where you keep your battery supply. Discard used batteries
carefully.
• Batteries are very small and can easily be mistaken for pills or
the like. Never put a battery or hearing aid in your mouth for
any reason as you may risk swallowing it.
• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type or
recharged. Dispose of used batteries according to the instruc-
tions.
• Never allow others to wear your hearing aid, as this could
cause permanent damage to their hear ing.
• When selecting a listening program, please remember that
there are situations in which it is particularly important to be
able to hear the surrounding sounds (e.g. traffic, warning sig-
nals).
