WARNING
• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type
or recharged. Dispose of used batteries according to the in-
structions.
• Never allow others to wear your hearing aid, as this could
cause permanent damage to their hear ing.
• When selecting a listening program, please remember that
there are situations in which it is particularly important to be
able to hear the surrounding sounds (e.g. traffic, warning sig-
nals).
• The hearing aid is made of modern non-allergenic materials.
Nonetheless, in rare cases skin irritation may occur. If you no-
tice skin irritation in or around your ear or ear canal, contact
your hearing care professional.
• Be aware that the use of any type of hearing aid may involve
a slightly increased risk of infection in the ear canal. An infec-
tion can arise as a result of inadequate ventilation of the ear.
We therefore recommend that you remove the hearing aid
from your ear at night to allow the ear canal to be ventilated.
Make sure that you clean and inspect your hearing aid as re-
quired. If an infection occurs, you should seek medical atten-
tion and contact your hearing care professional for advice on
how to disinfect the hearing aid. Do not under any circum-
stances use alcohol, chlorine or similar substances.
• Widex hearing aids are not certified for use in mines or other
areas with explosive gases.
