Warnings

You should familiarise yourself fully
with the following general Remote
Control 2.0 warnings and the entire
contents of this leaflet before using
your Remote Control.

Choking hazards

The Remote Control is not a toy and
therefore should be kept out of the
reach of children and anyone else
who might swallow parts or other­wise cause injury to themselves.
Special attention should be paid to
the smaller components in order to
prevent children from swallowing
them and choking.

If a part is swallowed, see a doctor
immediately.

Battery Use

• Always use batteries recommend­ed by your hearing health care
professional. Batteries of low
quality may leak and cause bodily
harm.

• A depleted battery should be
removed as soon as possible.

• Never attempt to recharge non­rechargeable batteries. They may
explode and cause serious injury.

• Never dispose of batteries by
burning them. There is a risk that
they will explode and cause serious
injury.

Active Implants

Caution is advised and users are
advised to follow the guidelines as
recommended by manufacturers
of implantable defibrillators and
pacemakers regarding use of mobile
phones. If you wear an active implant,
keep the Remote Control more than
15 cm away from the implant.

Explosives

The power source in your Remote
Control has insufficient energy to
cause fire in normal conditions of use.
The Remote Control has not been
tested for compliance with interna­tional standards concerning explosive
atmospheres. It is recommended not
to use your Remote Control in areas
where there is a danger of explo­sions.

Warnings

Do not expose to high heat

Never expose the Remote Control to
high heat by putting it in the oven
or microwave oven or by burning it.
There is a risk that it will explode and
cause serious injury.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning is recommended on a
regular basis, using a dry cloth
without solvents.

The Remote Control must not be
exposed to or cleaned with cleaning
chemicals or alcohols. The chemicals
in cosmetics, hair spray, perfume,
aftershave lotion, suntan lotion and
insect repellent can damage your
Remote Control.

20 21

You should always remove your
Remote Control before applying such
products and allow time for the prod­uct to dry before using your Remote
Control.

Do not immerse the Remote Control
in water or other liquids.

Use of straps

If a hand strap is used, make sure
it is designed and suitable for the
purpose. Never use a neck strap due
to the risk of strangulation.

X-ray, CT, MR, PET scanning and
electrotherapy

Do not wear the Remote Control
during X-ray, CT / MR / PET scanning,
electrotherapy or surgery.

Use in cars

Using the Remote Control while
driving can distract you. If driving
conditions or traffic laws demand
it, pull off the road and park before
using the Remote Control.

Use on aircraft

The Remote Control should not be
used onboard an aircraft unless
specifically permitted by the flight
personnel.

Environmental protection

Help to protect the environment by
not disposing of your Remote Control
or batteries with your unsorted
household waste. Please recycle
your Remote Control and batteries
or return them to your hearing care
professional for disposal. Contact
your hearing care professional for
more information.

Important additional information

The Remote Control uses digital in­ductive signals to transmit commands
to the hearing instruments.
Although extremely unlikely, con­cerns have been raised that this
signal could possibly interfere with
medical devices such as pacemakers.

As an additional precaution, we
advise pacemaker recipients not to
carry and use the Remote Control in a
breast pocket or around the neck.

The emission power from the Remote
Control is below international emis­sion limits for Human Exposure. For
comparison, the radiation of the Re­mote Control is less than unintended
electromagnetic radiation from, for

22 23

example, hair dryers, electric shavers,
etc. The Remote Control complies
with international standards concern­ing Electromagnetic Compatibility.

USA and Canada
