Hearing aids should not be
fitted with domes / wax
protection systems when
used by clients with
perforated eardrums,
inflamed ear canals or
otherwise exposed middle
ear cavities. In these cases,
we recommend the use of
a custom earpiece.
In the unlikely case that
any part of this product
should remain in the ear
canal, it is strongly
recommended to see a
medical specialist for safe
removal.
The USB port of the
charger is to be used for
the described purpose only.
For charger, use only
EN60950-certified
equipment with a output
rating of 5 VDC.
Min. 500 mA.
Do not insert the adapter
of the power supply alone
into electrical outlets
because this could result in
an electric shock.

Phonak 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!
Phonak 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.
16.2 Information on product safety
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 (due
to risk of fire or explosion).
Ask your hearing care
professional about suitable
drying methods.
The dome should be
changed every three
months or when it
becomes stiff or brittle.
This is to prevent the dome
from detaching from the
tube spout during insertion
into or removal from the
ear.
51
Do not drop your hearing
aid! Dropping onto a hard
surface can damage your
hearing aid.
Store you hearing aid in
the charger if you are not
using it 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.
52
The hearing aids has to be
dry before charging.
Otherwise the charging
reliability cannot be
guaranteed.
Only use approved

contain lithium-ion
batteries tested according
to the UN 38.3 standard
