AQ Charging Station
Always protect your AQ charging station from wet, damp, heat
and mechanical effects.
• Operation is prohibited in wet rooms (shower/bathroom) and in areas
at risk of explosion.
• Keep out of direct sunlight and do not cover (trapped heat may build up).
• Use only to charge hearing systems with AQ rechargeable battery systems!
• Use only the AQ transport case and not the charging station to transport
your AQ battery hearing systems!
11
• Use only HADEO tissues to clean the outside.
• If the device is not being used for a prolonged period, disconnect the plug
from the mains and place the AQ hearing systems in the transport case.
• Please also follow the instructions for the hearing instruments.
• The AQ charging station monitors the AQ hearing systems and informs
you at regular intervals about servicing visits required to your hearing
instrument professional.
WARNING!
If the AQ charging station is damaged, disconnect it from
the mains immediately and have the device checked by your hearing instrument professional!
Special Note
The transport case of the AQ system is fitted with magnets and may
therefore not be kept in the vicinity of magnetic data media (e.g. bank
cards, credit cards) and medical devices (e.g. cardiac pacemakers), as
magnetic fields can affect electronic devices and data media.
Only a professional can reliably exclude effects on medical devices, in
particular.
WARNING!
Magnets may interfere with the operation of medical devices
(e.g., pacemakers and magnetic valves).
• Use a magnet only if not in doubt about the safe distance.
• The safe distance between pacemaker and magnet should be at least
10 cm (4 inches).
WARNING!
• Keep magnets away from children.
If swallowed consult a physician or hospital immediately.
NOTICE
Magnets can disturb electrical devices and delete stored data.
• Keep magnets away from computers, color monitors, television sets,
floppy discs, video and audio discs and other electronic equipment /
devices.

Your hearing system is sensitive to extreme heat, high humidity,
strong magnetic fields (>0.1T), X rays, and mechanical stress.
• Do not expose your hearing system to extreme temperature or high
humidity.
• Do not leave it in direct sunlight.
• Do not wear it in the shower or when you apply makeup, perfume, after-
shave, hairspray, or suntan lotion.
• Do not wear your hearing system when you are exposed to shortwaves, a
strong magnetic field, a high frequency field, or X-rays.
• Do not place your hearing systems in the microwave.
i When using mobile telephones, however, electromagnetic-field effects
cannot be ruled out.
WARNING!
Choking hazard posed by small parts.
• Keep hearing systems, batteries, and accessories out of children‘s reach.
• If swallowed, immediately consult a physician or hospital.
• If infants, small children, or mentally disabled persons need to wear hear-
ing systems, ensure adequate supervision.
WARNING!
Risk in explosive environments (e.g., mining areas)!
• Don‘t use your hearing systems (and remote control) in areas where there
is a danger of explosions.
i In some countries restrictions on the use of wireless equipment exist.
• Consult local authorities for further information.
WARNING!
• Never use a tip that has been worn by someone else or if it be-
comes dirty, torn, or disfigured.
• Only use original tips. Tips from other manufacturers will not yield the
best performance or proper fit.
• Do not insert the hearing system if you think you may have a foreign
object in the ear canal.

als. Still, in rare cases, skin irritation can occur. If you experience discomfort or skin irritation in the ear or in the ear canal, discontinue use, and
