General warnings
i
Hearing instruments can be dangerous if improperly used.
• Consult a hearing care professional if you discover a foreign object in your ear canal, if you experience
skin irritation, or if excessive ear wax accumulates with the use of the hearing instrument.
• Different types of radiation, (e.g. from X-ray, MRI, NMR, CT scans), may damage the instrument. There-
fore, do not wear the instrument during these or other corresponding scanning procedures. Other types
of radiation (burglary alarms, room surveillance systems, radio equipment, mobile telephones, etc) will
not damage the instrument. They could, however, momentarily affect the sound quality or create strange
sounds from the instruments.
• Do not wear hearing instruments in mines, oil fields, or other explosive areas unless those areas are
certified for hearing instrument use.
• Do not allow others to use your hearing instruments. This may cause damage to the hearing instruments
or to the hearing of the other individual.
• Instrument usage by children or mentally challenged persons should be supervised at all times to ensure
their safety.
• The hearing instrument contains small parts that could be swallowed by children. Please be mindful not
to leave children unsupervised with this hearing instrument.
• Hearing instruments should be used only as prescribed by your hearing care professional. Incorrect use
may result in sudden and permanent hearing loss.
• If the device is broken, DO NOT USE IT.
• Be careful when boarding flights, to remember to deactivate the wireless functionality. Turn off your
wireless functionality by using the flight mode in areas where radio frequency emission is prohibited.
• External devices connected to the electrical input must be safe according to the requirements of IEC
60601-1-1, IEC 60065, or IEC 60950-1, as appropriate.
• Special care should be exercised in selecting and fitting a hearing instrument(s) whose maximum sound
pressure level exceeds 132 dB SPL (with an IEC 60711:1981 occluded ear simulator), because there may
be a risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the hearing instrument user.
