Please read the information on the following pages
before using your hearing system.
A hearing system will not restore normal hearing
and will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment
resulting from organic conditions. Infrequent use
of a hearing system does not permit a user to attain
full benefit from it. The use of a hearing system 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 systems that have been specially
programmed for you by your hearing care pro-
fessional. Other systems may be ineffective and
may, in certain cases, damage your hearing.
Changes or modifications to the hearing system that
were not explicitly approved by Phonak are not
permitted. Such changes may damage your ear or
the hearing system.

Hearing system 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.
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.
The hearing system contains small parts which can
be swallowed by children.

External devices may only be connected if they have
been tested in accordance with corresponding
IECXXXXX standards. Only use accessories approved
by Phonak AG.
2.2 Information on product safety
Never immerse your hearing system in water!
Protect it from excessive moisture. Always remove
your hearing system before showering, bathing,
or swimming.
Protect your hearing system from heat (never leave
near a window or in the car.) Never use a micro-
wave or other heating devices to dry your hearing
system. Ask your hearing care professional about
suitable drying methods.
When you are not using your hearing system,
leave the battery compartment open so that any
moisture can evaporate. Make sure that you
always completely dry your hearing system after
use. Store the hearing system in a safe, dry and
clean place.

hard surface can damage your hearing system.
Always use new batteries for your hearing system.
You can return used batteries to your hearing care
professional.
Remove the battery if you are not using your
hearing system for a long period of time.
X-ray radiation (e. g. CT scans, MRI scans) may
adversely affect the correct functioning of your
hearing systems. We recommend that you remove
them before undergoing X-ray procedures and
keep them outside the room.
Do not use your hearing system in areas where
electronic equipment is prohibited.
