THE HEARING AID

The illustration below shows the hearing aid without

the ear-set. The choice of ear-set solution depends on

your specific needs. Please refer to the separate ear-set

user manual.

1. Microphone openings

2. Volume control (optional)

3. Program button

4. On/off switch

5. Battery drawer with nail grip

If you need help to identify the serial number (usually six or seven

digits) on the product, please contact your hearing care profes-

sional.

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 hearing

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

amplification devices to be used in everyday listening

environments. The hearing aids may be provided with

the Zen program intended to provide a relaxing sound

background (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 minimal (10 dB HL) to severe

(90 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 consists

of a tube and an ear-tip or earmould. The hearing aid

uses a proprietary wireless 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 a listening pro-

gram called Zen. It makes musical tones (and some-

times 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 13 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

battery drawer open.

Place the battery in the drawer, so that the plus (+) sign

on the battery faces upward. You can use the battery

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.

The hearing aid may be provided with a special battery

drawer, helping to secure the battery in the drawer. This

type of drawer can be a good choice if the hearing aid

is worn by a child.

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

battery is exhausted. You should be aware of this possibility, in

particular when you are in traffic or are otherwise dependent

on warning signals.
