1. Welcome

0459

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

!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.

2. Important safety information

!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.

!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 and mentally challenged

people or pets. If batteries are swallowed, consult

your medical 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.

!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 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.):

2. Important safety information

SKeep the wireless hearing aid at least 15 cm

(6 inches) away from the active implant. If you

experience any interference, do not use the wireless

hearing aids and contact the manufacturer of the

active implant.

Please, note that interference can also be caused by

power lines, electrostatic discharge, airport metal

detectors 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 the 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.

SYou are not permitted to use wireless accessories

for your hearing aids. Ask your hearing care

professional for details.

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.

IRemove the battery if you are not using your hearing

aid for a long period of time.

2. Important safety information

ISpecial medical or dental examination 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 examination 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
