Important information
These hearing aids are water resistant and not
waterproof. They are designed to withstand normal
activities and occasional accidental exposure to
extreme conditions. Never immerse your hearing
aid in water! These hearing aids are not specifically
designed for extended periods of water submersion
on a continual basis, that is worn in activities such as
swimming or bathing. Always remove your hearing aid
before these activities, as the hearing aid contains
sensitive electronic parts.
Never wash the microphone inputs. Doing so could
cause it to lose its special acoustic features.
Protect your hearing aid from heat (never leave near
a window or in the car). Never use a microwave or
other heating devices to dry your hearing aid. Ask
your hearing care professional about suitable drying
methods.
When you are not using your hearing aid, leave the
battery door open so that any moisture can evaporate.
Make sure that you always completely dry your hearing
aid after use. Store the hearing aid in a safe, dry and
clean place.
Do not drop your hearing aid! Dropping onto a hard
surface can damage your hearing aid.
Always use new batteries for your hearing aid. In case
a battery is leaking, replace it immediately with a new
one to avoid any skin irritation. You can return used
batteries to your hearing care professional.
The batteries used in these hearing aids should not
exceed 1.5 Volts. Please do not use silver-zinc or Li-ion
(lithium-ion) rechargeable batteries as these may
cause severe damage to your hearing aids.
Remove the battery if you are not using your hearing
aid for a long period of time.
Special medical or dental examination including
radiation described below, may adversely affect the
correct functioning of your hearing aids. Remove and
keep them outside the examination room/area before
undergoing:
•
Medical or dental examination with X-ray
(also CT scan).
•
Medical examinations with MRI/NMRI scans,
generating magnetic fields.
•
Hearing aids don’t need to be removed when
passing security gates (airports etc.). If X-ray is used
at all, it will be in very low doses, and will not affect
the hearing aids.
Do not use your hearing aid in areas where electronic
equipment is prohibited.
Do not kink or buckle the removal handle. Repeated
stress to the removal handle may cause it to break. In
case of a broken removal handle the battery door may
exceptionally be used to carefully pull the hearing aid
out of the ear canal.
