NOTE

In addition to these user instructions, a separate user manual is

provided describing the various ear-set solutions available for

your hearing aid: “Ear-sets for Widex BTE hearing aids”.

WARNING

This booklet and the manual “Ear-sets for Widex BTE hear-

ing aids” contain important information and instructions. Read

these booklets carefully before you start using the hearing aid.

NOTE

Your hearing aid, ear-set and accessories may not look exactly

as illustrated in this booklet. We also reserve the right to make

any changes considered necessary.

Intended use

The hearing aids are intended as air conduction amplifi-

cation devices to be used in everyday listening environ-

ments. The hearing aids may be provided with the Zen

program intended to provide a relaxing sound back-

ground (i.e. music/noise source) for adults who desire

to listen to such a background in quiet.

Indications for use

The devices are indicated for individuals with a range of

hearing loss severity from slight (16 dB HL to 25 dB HL)

to moderately severe (85 dB HL) and all hearing loss

configurations.

They are to be programmed by licensed hearing care

professionals (audiologists, hearing aid specialists, oto-

laryngologists) who are trained in hearing (re)habilita-

tion.

Description of device

Your hearing aid is used with an ear-set which con-

sists of an earwire and an ear-tip, in which the receiver

is placed. The hearing aid uses a proprietary wire-

less technology, WidexLink, to enable communication

between the left and the right hearing aid, as well as

between the hearing aids and the DEX accessories.

Your hearing aid may be provided with an optional lis-

tening program called Zen. It makes musical tones (and

sometimes a rushing noise) in the background. These

sounds are shaped according to your hearing loss.

Acoustic indicators

The hearing aid may be set to produce a signal to indi-

cate the use of certain functions. The signal may be a

spoken message or tones. The signal can also be deac-

tivated.

The battery

We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 10 battery

for the hearing aid.

To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your

hearing care professional. It is important to take note of

the expiry date and the recommendations on the bat-

tery pack regarding disposal of used batteries.

Inserting the battery

Before inserting a new battery into the

hearing aid, remember to remove the adhe-

sive tab. Once the tab has been removed,

the battery will start functioning after a few

seconds.

CAUTION

Do not use batteries if there is a sticky residue from the tab or

other unwanted substance, as this can cause the hearing aid to

malfunction.

Use the nail grip to gently swing the bat-

tery drawer open. Do not press the drawer

beyond the open position.

Place the battery in the drawer as illustrated, so that the

plus (+) sign on the battery is facing towards you when

you hold the hearing aid as shown. You can use the bat-

tery magnet provided to steer the battery into place.

If the battery drawer does not close easily, the battery

is incorrectly inserted.

When changing battery, it is a good idea to hold the

hearing aid over a table.

Always place the battery in the actual battery drawer

as illustrated and not in the open space inside the hear-

ing aid.

Low battery indication

An acoustic indicator will sound when the battery is

nearly exhausted, unless this function has been disa-

bled (see page 7). We recommend that you always

have a spare battery with you.

WARNING

Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing aid. Exhausted

batteries may leak, damaging the hearing aid.

WARNING

Your hearing aid may stop functioning, for instance if the bat-

tery is exhausted. You should be aware of this possibility, in par-

ticular when you are in traffic or are otherwise dependent on

warning signals.
