Warning
• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type
or recharged. Dispose of used batteries according to the in-
structions.
• 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).
• 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.
Warning
• Be aware that the use of any type of hearing aid may involve
a slightly increased risk of infection in the ear canal. An infec-
tion can arise as a result of inadequate ventilation of the ear.
We therefore recommend that you remove the hearing aid
and ear-set from your ear at night to allow the ear canal to be
ventilated. Make sure that you clean and inspect your hearing
aid and ear-set as required. If an infection occurs, you should
seek medical attention and contact your hearing care profes-
sional for advice on how to disinfect the various hearing aid
parts. Do not under any circumstances use alcohol, chlorine
or similar substances.
• Widex hearing aids are not certified for use in mines or other
areas with explosive gases.
Warning
•
Do not wear your hearing aid during radiation, X-rays, mris,
cT or other medical treatments and scans. The emissions from
these procedures as well as from other types of radiation, such
as that in a microwave oven, can damage your hearing aid.
.radiation from, for example, room surveillance equipment,
burglar alarms and mobile phones is weaker and will not dam-
age the hearing aid but may create audible interference.
cauTion
• Your hearing aid has been tested for interference according
to international standards. Nevertheless, it is possible that
unforeseen interference may occur in the hearing aid due to
electromagnetic radiation from other products such as alarm
systems, room surveillance equipment and mobile phones.
• Although your hearing aid has been designed to comply with
the most stringent international electromagnetic compatibil-
ity standards, the possibility cannot be excluded that it may
cause interference with other equipment, such as medical de-
vices.
• Never try to open or repair the hearing aid yourself.
