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.
2. Important safety information
7
!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 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.
8
!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.
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.
2. Important safety information

IProtect 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.
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.
IRemove the battery if you are not using your hearing
aid for a long period of time.

IX-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.

equipment is prohibited.
