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 transmits it to a hearing aid on

the better ear.

7

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 professionals

(audiologists, hearing aid specialists, otolaryngologists) 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.

Note that you cannot use an assistive listening device during

transmission.

8

The battery

We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 312 battery for the

transmitter.

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 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, the battery will start functioning after a

few seconds.

9

CAUTION

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

wanted substance, as this can cause the device to malfunction.

Use the nail grip to gently swing the battery

drawer completely open. Do not press the

drawer beyond the open position.

10

+

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 incor-

rectly inserted.
