Do not wear your hearing aid during x-ray, MR scans,
CT scans, short-wave diathermy, or similar radiation
treatments.
Some types of radiation can damage your hearing
aid. Other types of radiation from, for example, bur-
glar alarms, room surveillance equipment, and cellu-
lar telephones, are weaker and will not damage your
hearing aid.
Widex hearing aids are not certified for use in mines
or other areas with explosive gases.
Switch your hearing aid off when it is not in use.
Should you not use it for a day or more, take out the
battery to avoid battery leakage. Always insert the
battery as described on page 10. If you feel the bat-
tery needs to be forced into the battery drawer, then
check to see if it’s upside down.
Never try to open or repair
the hearing aid yourself
