WARNING
• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type or re-
charged. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
• 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 signals).
• The hearing aid is made of modern non-allergenic materials.
Nonetheless, in rare cases skin irritation may occur. If you no-
tice skin irritation in or around your ear or ear canal, contact your
hearing care professional.
• Please note that when using any type of hearing aid, you must
allow regular ventilation of the ear. If the ear is not adequately
ventilated, there may be a slightly increased risk of infection or
disease in the ear canal. We therefore recommend that you re-
move the hearing aid from your ear when you go to bed, to allow
the ear canal to be ventilated. If possible, you should also remove
your hearing aid during the day if there are any periods when
you do not need them. Make sure that you clean and inspect
your hearing aid as required. If an ear infection or disease occurs,
you should seek medical attention and contact your hearing care
professional for advice on how to disinfect the hearing aid. Do
not under any circumstances use alcohol, chlorine or similar sub-
stances for this purpose.
• Regular use of a de-humidifier is recommended to help avoid
malfunction of the hearing aid.
• Do not use Widex hearing aids in mines or other areas with ex-
plosive gases.
