We hope you will be pleased with your new Widex
hearing aid.
IMPORTANT
This booklet contains important information and instructions.
Please read this booklet carefully before you start using the hearing aid.
Your hearing aid, ear-set and accessories may not look exactly as

THE BATTERY
We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 13 bat-
tery for the hearing aid.
To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your
hearing care professional. It is important to take note
of the expiry date and the recommendations regarding disposal of used batteries on the battery pack.
INSERTING THE BATTERY
Before inserting a new battery into the
hearing aid, remember to remove the adhesive tab. Once the tab has been removed, the battery will start functioning
after a few seconds. Do not use batteries
on which there is a sticky residue from
the tab or other unwanted substance.
Use the nail grip to gently swing the
battery drawer open.
Place the battery in the drawer, so that the plus (+)
sign on the battery faces upward. You can use the
battery magnet provided to steer the battery into
place.
If the battery drawer does not close easily, the battery is incorrectly inserted.
When changing battery, it is a good idea to hold the
hearing aid over a table.
The hearing aid may be provided with a special battery drawer, helping to secure the battery in the
drawer. This type of drawer can be a good choice if
the hearing aid is worn by a child.
10 11
LOW BATTERY INDICATION
An acoustic indicator will sound when the battery is
nearly exhausted, unless this function has been disabled (see page 7). We recommend that you always
have a spare battery with you.
Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing aid.
Exhausted batteries may leak, damaging the hearing
aid.
IMPORTANT
Your hearing aid may stop functioning, for instance if the battery
is exhausted. You should be aware of this possibility, in particular
when you are in traffic or are otherwise dependent on warning
signals.
TURNING THE HEARING AID ON AND OFF
The battery drawer of the hearing aid also functions
as the on/off switch.
Push the switch upwards to turn on the
hearing aid. An acoustic indicator will
indicate that the hearing aid has been
switched on unless this function has
been disabled.
Push the switch downwards to turn off
the hearing aid.
The word “OFF” is clearly visible on the
switch when the hearing aid is turned
off.
Please remember to turn off the hearing aid when it
is not in use. Remove the battery if the hearing aid
will not be used for several days.
OFF
12 13
VOLUME ADJUSTMENT
The hearing aid volume is adjusted automatically in
accordance with your sound environment.
Your hearing aid may furthermore be
provided with a volume control,
shaped like a small lever.
Push the lever upward to gradually
raise the volume.
Push the lever downwards to gradually lower the volume.
In the default setting, any volume adjustment will
affect both hearing aids.
For any adjustment of the steps in which volume
increases or decreases, consult your hearing care
professional.
Each time you operate the volume control, you will
hear a beep-tone unless this function has been disabled. When the maximum or minimum adjustment
level is reached, a steady tone will sound.
IMPORTANT
If the volume in the hearing aid is generally too loud or too weak,
or the reproduced sounds are distorted, or if you would like any
further information, consult your hearing care professional.
To turn off the sound completely
• Keep pressing the volume control lever downwards
after the steady tone has sounded
To turn the sound on again
• Press the lever upwards or
• Change listening program or
• Turn the hearing aid off and turn it on again.
If you wish to mute the hearing aid using a remote
control, keep pressing its volume down key after the
long beep-tone has sounded and until it stops. Pressing one of the volume keys briefly will bring back the
sound.
Any adjustment of the volume setting will be cancelled when your hearing aid is turned off, or when
you change program.
If you wish to have the volume control disabled,
please consult your hearing care professional.
14 15
LOST PARTNER ALARM
(Note: Only applicable if this feature has been activated by your hearing care professional).
If one of your hearing aids falls off your ear, and/or
the battery is exhausted, a tone signal and a spoken
message will sound two times in the other hearing
aid.
LISTENING PROGRAMS
In addition to the default Master program, your hearing aid may be provided with four of the following
programs, plus the special Zen program called Zen+.
Music For listening to music
TV For listening to the TV
Comfort Attenuates background noise
Reverse focus Focus on sounds from behind
Audibility Extender Makes high-frequency sounds audible
Phone For listening to the telephone
T In this program you listen via the
telecoil (T) and not via the hearing
aid microphone (M). The telecoil is
used where a loop system is installed.
If you activate the telecoil program,
you listen to a specific sound source
and shut out surrounding sounds.
M+T In this program you listen via the
hearing aid microphone (M) and the
telecoil (T).
Zen Generates different kinds of tones.
Contains one style
Compound programs
The Master program in one ear and
Zen, Reverse focus, Audibility
Extender, T, MT or Phone in the other.
Zen+ Special Zen program with up to three
different Zen styles
16 17
If your needs change over time, the combination of
listening programs can be altered.
The Zen program may be used with amplification so
that both the surrounding sounds and the Zen tones
are heard together. Or, it may be used alone (without
amplification) in quiet when you are not required to
hear surrounding sounds.
The duration of the Zen play time can be set by your
hearing care professional according to your needs.
IMPORTANT
Use of the different Zen programs may interfere with hearing surrounding sounds including speech. The programs should not be
used when hearing such sounds is important. Switch the hearing
aid to a non-Zen program in those situations.
SWITCHING BETWEEN THE
LISTENING PROGRAMS
Each time you switch to another
program, an acoustic indicator will
sound unless this function has been
disabled.
Program 1: Message or one short beep
Program 2: Message or two short beeps
Program 3: Message or three short beeps
Program 4: Message or one long and one short
beeps
Program 5: Message or one long and two short
beeps
Zen+: Message or tone
In the default setting, both your hearing aids will be
affected when you change programs.
18 19
USING A TELEPHONE
When using a telephone, we
recommend that you hold the
telephone against your head
at an angle above your ear,
rather than directly against the
ear. If the sound is not optimal,
try moving the telephone earpiece to a slightly different position.
ZEN+
This program is accessed via a long press (two sec.)
on the program button. A short press then allows
you to cycle through the available Zen styles.
You can exit Zen+ by pressing and holding the program button for more than a second.
If you wish to have the program button disabled,
please consult your hearing care professional.

26 27
THE ANCHOR
The anchor for the instant ear-tip solution should be
trimmed to form an appropriately sized loop to ensure the comfortable retention of the ear-tip in the
ear canal. There are several ways of doing this:
EXAMPLE 1
Pull the tip of the anchor through the small hole on
the side of the tubing.
When the loop is the correct size,
cut off any excess with scissors or
similar.
EXAMPLE 2
Loop the anchor in the direction
indicated by the dotted line and
arrows.
Guide the tip of the anchor
through the small hole on the side
of the tubing as illustrated to form
a heart-shaped loop.

44 45
aCCessories
A variety of assistive listening devices are available
for your hearing aid.
For help in determining whether you could benefit
from a remote control or other accessories, please
consult your hearing care professional.
Audio input
The hearing aid can be furnished with an audio shoe.
This allows direct connection to different kinds of accessories (FM and CROS/Bi-CROS systems), as well
as external audio equipment (radio, TV, etc.). In this
way the sound from, for example, a radio or someone provided with an FM microphone can be sent directly into the hearing aid.
In the standard setting, the hearing aid automatically
switches to an audio program when an audio shoe is
attached. If you then wish to switch to one of the
other programs, you must use the program button
on the hearing aid. As soon as you remove the audio
shoe, the usual program order is re-established.
On the form on the next page, your hearing care professional can make a note of the audio programs you
have access to and where they are located.
For more information on the use of audio input consult your hearing care professional.

IMPORTANT
If the hearing aid is connected to equipment which is
connected to the electrical mains, this equipment
must meet the safety requirements stated in the international standard IEC 60065.
Do not connect the hearing aid to sockets that are labelled with one or more of the following symbols:
46 47
FM systems
An FM system is an assistive listening device that can
be used as an accessory for the hearing aid.
The FM system from Widex is called SCOLA. The FM
system consists of a wireless microphone and a receiver clicked onto the hearing aid via an FM shoe.
The SCOLA FM system can be set according to your
needs. This may mean that the hearing aid program
button will work differently than when using an audio shoe.
For help in determining whether you could benefit
from an FM system, please consult your hearing care
professional.

Caring for Your hearing aid
The hearing aid is a valuable object and should be
treated with care. Here are some things you can do
to prolong the life of your hearing aid:
• Turn off your hearing aid when it is not in use. Remove the battery if the hearing aid will not be used
for several days.
• When the hearing aid is not in use, keep it in its
case in a cool, dry location out of reach of children
and pets.
• Do not expose the hearing aid to extreme temperatures or high humidity.
• Do not wear your hearing aid while in the shower
or swimming, or when using a hair dryer, perfume
or other sprays.
• In environments with high humidity, a Widex drying kit may be used daily to reduce the amount of
moisture inside the hearing aid. See the instructions enclosed with the Widex drying kit.
50 51
good adviCe and warnings
Hearing aids and batteries can be dangerous if swallowed or used improperly. Swallowing or improper
use can result in severe injury or even fatalities.
In case of ingestion, contact a physician immediately.
• Keep hearing aids and their parts, accessories and
batteries out of reach of children and anyone else
who might swallow such items or otherwise cause
injury to themselves. Do not change batteries in
front of them and do not let them see where you
keep your battery supply. Discard used batteries
carefully.
• Batteries are very small and can easily be mistaken
for pills or the like. Never put a battery or hearing
aid in your mouth for any reason as you may risk
swallowing it.
• Never allow others to wear your hearing aid, as this
could cause permanent damage to their hear ing.
• The hearing aid will not restore normal hearing but
can help you to make the best possible use of your
remaining hearing ability. However, you should be
aware that it takes time to get used to a new hearing aid and new sounds.
• 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 signals).
• The use of hearing aids increases the risk of accumulation of earwax. Contact your physician/ENT
doctor if you suspect that a plug of earwax has accumulated in your ear. Earwax may not only reduce
your own hearing but also the effect of the hearing
aid considerably. It is a good idea to ask your physician to clean your ears a couple of times a year.
• The hearing aid is made of modern non-allergenic
materials. Nonetheless, in rare cases skin irritation
may occur. If you notice skin irritation in or around
your ear or ear canal, contact your hearing care
professional.
CAUTION
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type or recharged. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
52 53
• Be aware that the use of any type of hearing aid
may involve a slightly increased risk of infection in
the ear canal. An infection can arise as a result of
inadequate ventilation of the ear. We therefore recommend that you remove the hearing aid and earset from your ear at night to allow the ear canal to
be ventilated. Make sure that you clean and inspect
your hearing aid and ear-set as required. If an infection occurs, you should seek medical attention
and contact your hearing care professional for advice on how to disinfect the various hearing aid
parts. Do not under any circumstances use alcohol,
chlorine or similar substances.
• Your hearing aid uses a built-in transceiver for coordination between the hearing aids. The magnetic
field strength of the transceiver is very low.
• Your hearing aid has been tested for interference
according to international standards. Nevertheless,
it is possible that unforeseen interference may occur in the hearing aid due to electromagnetic radiation from other products such as alarm systems
and mobile phones.
• Although your hearing aid has been designed to
comply with the most stringent international electromagnetic compatibility standards, the possibility cannot be excluded that it may cause interference with other equipment, such as medical devices.
• Never try to open or repair the hearing aid yourself.
• Do not wear your hearing aid during X-rays, scans
or radiation treatments. Other types of radiation,
such as that in a microwave oven, can also damage
your hearing aid. Radiation from, for example,
room surveillance equipment, burglar alarms and
mobile phones is weaker and will not damage the
hearing aid.
• Widex hearing aids are not certified for use in
mines or other areas with explosive gases.
