In addition to daily maintenance and
in order to avoid unwanted repairs, it
is recommended that you take certain
precautions while handling your hearing
instrument:
• Avoid exposing your instrument directly
to moisture such as heavy rain or water
from a shower.
• Never immerse the instrument into
water or other liquids, as this may cause
permanent damage to the circuitry
and/or internal components.
• Protect the instrument from rough
handling.
• Avoid dropping it on hard surfaces or
floors.
• Do not leave the instrument in or near
direct heat or sunlight. Excessive heat
can damage the instrument or deform
the casing or the microphone tube.
• You should never attempt to modify the
shape of the microphone tube yourself.
• Never force the battery door closed,
as this may damage the hearing instru-
ment.
