Battery
The FineTuner Echo requires one coin cell battery type CR2032. If you want to get
more information on batteries, please contact your healthcare provider or local MED‑EL
representative.
• Wash your hands after handling disposable batteries.
• Do not try to recharge disposable batteries. Charging disposable batteries may
cause battery electrolyte to seethe or battery internal pressure to rise. Leakage,
heating, explosion or ignition of batteries may result.
• Do not disassemble, deform, immerse in water or incinerate batteries.
• Do not wet batteries with water. This may cause ignition of batteries.
• Do not short‑circuit batteries, e.g. by allowing the negative and positive terminals
of batteries to touch, carrying batteries loose in your pockets, wallet or purse or
touching the battery terminals with metals (coins, wires, keys, etc.).
• Do not solder batteries directly. Excessive heating may cause deformation of
battery components.
• Insert batteries correctly. Erroneous insertion of batteries may result in battery
short‑circuiting.
• Store unused batteries in their original packaging, in a cool and dry place. Isolate or
cover the positive and negative terminals to avoid short‑circuiting.
• Do not store nor use batteries in high temperature and high humidity locations and
where batteries are exposed to direct sunlight (e.g. behind a window or in a car).
• Immediately discontinue using the battery if during use or storage, the battery
emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes colour and/or shape or appears abnor‑
mal in any way.
• Do not use damaged, deformed batteries or leaking batteries. If any kind of sub‑
stance leaks out of a battery, avoid direct skin contact with that substance. Such a
substance could cause a chemical burn. In case of eye contact, rinse with copious
amounts of water and seek medical attention immediately. In case of contact with
the mouth, gargle and rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention
immediately.
• If you are not going to use your FineTuner Echo for an extended period of time, you
should remove the battery and dispose of or store it separately.
• Always remove used batteries immediately to avoid leakage and possible damage to
the device.
• Used batteries should be disposed of according to local regulations. Generally,
batteries are collected separately and not disposed of with the household garbage.
