Please read the information on the following pages

before using your hearing aid.

A hearing aid will not restore normal hearing

and will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment

resulting from organic conditions. Infrequent use

of a hearing aid does not permit a user to attain full

beneﬁt from it. The use of a hearing aid is only

part of hearing habilitation and may need to be

supplemented by auditory training and instruction

in lipreading.

2.1Hazard warnings

Use only hearing aids that have been specially

programmed for you by your hearing care

professional. Other aids may be ineffective and

may, in certain cases, damage your hearing.

Changes or modiﬁcations to the hearing aid that

were not explicitly approved by Phonak are not

permitted. Such changes may damage your ear or

the hearing aid.

2. Important safety information

Hearing aid batteries are toxic if they are

swallowed! Keep out of reach of children and pets.

If batteries are swallowed, consult your physician

immediately!

If you feel pain in or behind your ear, if it is inﬂamed

or if skin irritation and accelerated accumulations

of ear wax occur, please check with your hearing care

professional or physician.

Pieces of broken ceramic housings are sharp-edged

and can cause cuts.

In very rare cases, the dome can remain in your ear

canal when removing the hearing tube from the ear.

In the unlikely case that the dome does get stuck in

your ear canal, it is strongly recommended to see a

physician for safe removal.

Hearing programs in the directional microphone mode

reduce background noises. Please be aware that

warning signals or noises coming from behind, e. g.

cars, are partially or entirely suppressed.

External devices may only be connected if they have

IECXXXXX standards. Only use accessories approved

by Phonak AG.

2.2 Information on product safety

Never immerse your hearing aid in water! Protect

it from excessive moisture. Always remove

your hearing aid before showering, bathing,

or swimming.

Protect your hearing aid from heat (never leave

near a window or in the car.) Never use a

microwave or other heating devices to dry your

hearing aid. Ask your hearing care professional

about suitable drying methods.

When you are not using your hearing aid, leave

the battery compartment open so that any

moisture can evaporate. Make sure that you

always completely dry your hearing aid after use.

Store the hearing aid in a safe, dry and clean

place.

Do not drop your hearing aid! Dropping onto a hard

surface can damage your hearing aid.

Ceramic hearing aid housings are resistant to

scratches but must be treated with care. If hit hard

enough or dropped, the ceramic housing may break.

Always use new batteries for your hearing aid.

You can return used batteries to your hearing care

professional.

Remove the battery if you are not using your

hearing aid for a long period of time.

X-ray radiation (e. g. CT scans, MRI scans) may

adversely affect the correct functioning of your

hearing aids. We recommend that you remove

them before undergoing X-ray procedures and

keep them outside the room.

Do not use your hearing aid in areas where

electronic equipment is prohibited.
