Use your hearing aid regularly, even if it takes some time getting used to it.

Infrequent users don’t usually get the full benefit of a hearing aid.

Important safety information

Read these pages carefully before you begin using your hearing aid.

Hearing aids andbatteries can be dangerous if swallowed or used im-

properly. Swallowing or improper use can result in severe injury or even

fatalities. In case ofingestion, contact your local emergency number or

hospital immediately.

Take your hearing aids out when you are not using them. This will help to

ventilate the ear canal and prevent ear infections.

Contact your doctor orhearing care professional immediately if you sus-

pect you may have an ear infection or an allergic reaction.

Contact your hearing care professional if the hearing aid doesn't feel

comfortable, or if it doesn't fit properly, causing irritation, redness or the

like.

Remove your hearing aids before showering, swimming or using a hair

dryer.

Do not wear your hearing aids when applying perfume, spray, gels, lotion

or cream.

Do not dry your hearing aid in a microwave oven - this will ruin it.

Never use other people’s hearing aids and never allow others to use

yours, as this could damage your hearing.

Never use your hearingaids in environments wherethere may be explo-

sive gases, such as in mines, etc.

Keep hearing aids, their parts, accessories and batteries away from chil-

dren and mentally disabled people.

Never try toopen or repair the hearing aidyourself. Contact your hearing

care professional if you need to have your hearing aid repaired.

Your hearing aids contain radio communication technology. Always ob-

serve the environment in which you are using them. If any restrictions ap-

ply, you must take precautions to comply with these.

Please note thatstreaming sound to your hearing aids at a high volume

can prevent you from hearingother important sounds such as alarms

and traffic noise. In such situations make sure to keep the volume of the

streamed sound at a suitablelevel.

Your hearing aid is very powerful and it can play sounds that exceed a

level of 132 dB. There may therefore be a risk of damaging your remain-

ing hearing.

Do not expose your hearing aids to extreme temperatures or high humid-

ity, and dry them quickly if they get wet, or if you perspire heavily.

Your hearing aids should be stored and transported within the temperature

and humidity ranges of -20°C to +55°C (-4°F to 131°F) and 10%-95% rH.

Your hearing aids are designed to operate within the temperature, humidity

and atmospheric pressure ranges of 0°C (32°F) to 50°C (122°F), 10%-95% rH

and 750 to 1060 mBar.

You can find technical data sheets and additional information on your hear-

ing aids on https://global.widex.com.

THEHEARINGAID

Indications for use

The hearing aids are indicated for individuals older than 36 months with a

range of hearing loss from minimal (10 dB HL) to severe-to-profound (100

dB HL) and all hearing loss configurations.

They are to be programmed by licensed hearing care professionals (audiol-

ogists, hearing aid specialists, otolaryngologists) who are trained in hearing

(re)habilitation.

Hearing aids with rechargeable batteries

Hearing aids with rechargeable batteries should NOT be used by children

younger than 4 years of age or mentally disabled people.

Intended use

The hearing aids are intended as air conduction amplification devices to be

used in everyday listening environments. The hearing aids may be equipped

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 back-

ground in the quiet.

The zinc-air battery

Use a type 312 zinc-air battery for your hearing aid.

Always use a fresh, new battery that is precisely the kind recommended by

your hearing care professional.
