1. Welcome

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.

2.1 Hazard warnings

!The intended use of hearing aids is to amplify and

transmit sound to the ears and hereby compensate

for impaired hearing. The hearing aids (specially

programmed for each hearing loss) must only be used

by the intended person. They should not be used by

any other person as they could damage 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

!Do not use the hearing aids in explosive areas (mines

or industrial areas with danger of explosions).

!Hearing aid batteries are toxic if they are swallowed!

Keep out of reach of children, mentally challenged

people and pets. If batteries are swallowed, consult

your physician immediately!

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

if skin irritation or 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.

2. Important safety information

!The hearing aid contains small parts that can cause

choking, if swallowed by children. Keep out of reach

of children and mentally challenged people or pets. If

swallowed, consult a physician or hospital

immediately.

!External devices may only be connected if they have

been tested in accordance with corresponding

IECXXXXX standards. Only use accessories approved

by Phonak AG, to avoid any electrical shock.

!The following is only applicable for persons with

active implantable medical devices (i.e. pacemakers,

defibrillators, etc.):

SKeep magnets (i.e. battery handling tool, EasyPhone

magnet, etc.) at least 15 cm (6 inches) away from

the active implant.

2.2 Information on product safety

INever immerse your hearing aid in water! Protect it

from excessive moisture. Always remove your hearing

aid before showering, bathing, or swimming, as the

hearing aid contains sensitive electronic parts.

IProtect your hearing aid from heat (never leave it

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.

IWhen 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.

IDo not drop your hearing aid! Dropping onto a hard

surface can damage your hearing aid.

IAlways use new batteries for your hearing aid. In case

a battery is leaking, replace it immediately with a

new one to avoid any skin irritation. You can return

used batteries to your hearing care professional.

2. Important safety information

IRemove the battery if you are not using your hearing

aid for a long period of time.

ISpecial medical or dental examinations including

radiation described below, may adversely affect the

correct functioning of your hearing aids. Remove and

keep them outside the examination room/area before

undergoing:

SMedical or dental examinations with X-ray

(also CT scan)

SMedical examinations with MRI/NMRI scans,

generating magnetic fields

Hearing aids don’t need to be removed when passing

security gates (airports etc.). If X-ray is used at all, it

will be in very low doses, and will not affect the hearing

aids.

IDo not use your hearing aid in areas where electronic

equipment is prohibited.
