NOTE

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

provided describing the various ear-set solutions available for

your transmitter.

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 transmitter.

NOTE

Your transmitter and ear-set may not look exactly as illustrated

in this booklet. We also reserve the right to make any changes

considered necessary.

Intended use

The transmitter is intended for use as a device that

picks up sound at the ear on which it is worn and trans-

mits it to a hearing aid on the better ear.

6

Indications for use

The WIDEX CROS solution is indicated for individuals

who are deaf in one ear and have normal or impaired

hearing in the other.

It is to be programmed by licensed hearing care profes-

sionals (audiologists, hearing aid specialists, otolaryn-

gologists) who are trained in hearing (re)habilitation.

Description of device

The transmitter is worn on the deaf ear like an ordinary

“behind-the-ear” hearing aid. It receives sound from

the surroundings and transmits it to a Widex wireless

hearing aid worn on the better ear, via a proprietary

wireless technology called WidexLink.

7

The battery

We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 312 bat-

tery for the transmitter.

To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your

hearing care professional. It is important to take note

of the expiration date and the recommendations on the

battery pack regarding disposal of used batteries.

Inserting the battery

Before inserting a new battery, remember

to remove the adhesive tab. Once the tab

has been removed, wait 60 seconds before

placing the battery into the transmitter.

CAUTION

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

or other unwanted substance, as this can cause the device to

malfunction.

Use the nail grip to gently swing the

battery drawer open.

8

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.

Battery drawer without a nail grip

The device may be provided with a

battery drawer without a nail grip. This

type of drawer can be a good choice if

the device is worn by a child. A special

tool for opening the drawer will be

included with this drawer.

9

The battery drawer is opened as illus-

trated

WARNING

Never leave an exhausted battery in the transmitter. Exhausted

batteries may leak, damaging the device.

Right/left identification

Your transmitter can be provided

with a colored mark for right/left

identification (red mark = right and

blue mark = left).

The arrow shows the position of the

identification mark.

10

Positioning the transmitter

Insert the earpiece in the ear canal while holding the

lower part of the tube. It may help to pull the outer ear

backwards and upwards with the opposite hand.

Place the transmitter behind the ear, so that the device

and tube rest comfortably on the ear, close to your

head.

The illustrations show an open ear-tip. For further infor-

mation on ear-tip/earmold types, anchors and proce-

dures, see the separate ear-set user manual provided.
