Thank you…
…for choosing a Widex hearing aid.
Your hearing aid is a sophisticated instrument that can
be adjusted to your requirements in consultation with
your hearing care professional.

show a right-ear hearing aid.
We hope you will be pleased with your new Widex
hearing aid.

Important
Please read this booklet carefully before you start using

Your hearing aid and accessories may not look exactly as illustrated in this booklet. We furthermore
reserve the right to make any changes considered
necessary.

Right/left identification
If you are wearing hearing aids in both ears, it is easy to
tell them apart as the right-ear hearing aid has a red
Widex logo, and the left-ear hearing aid a blue.
The arrow shows the position of the logo.
Function signals
Your hearing aid may be set to produce a signal to indicate the use of certain functions. The signal can be a
spoken message or tones adjusted by the hearing care
professional in consultation with you. The signal can
also be deactivated.
The battery
We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 312 bat-
tery for your hearing aid.
To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your
hearing care professional. It is important to take note of
the expiration date and the recommendations regarding disposal of used batteries on the battery pack.
Inserting the battery
Before inserting a new battery in
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.

1. Use the nail grip to push the battery compartment
cover downwards and open the cover. Do not press
the battery compartment cover beyond the open
position.
2. Place the battery so that the plus (+) sign of the
battery faces upwards.
3. You can use the battery magnet provided to steer
the battery into place.
If the battery compartment cover 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.
Low battery indication
In the standard setting, the hearing aid will produce a
spoken message when the battery is nearly exhausted
(see page 6). If the setting with tone indication has
been chosen, four beep-tones will be produced. Once
the battery is totally exhausted, the hearing aid will be
completely silent. 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 compartment cover of your hearing aid
also functions as the on/off switch.
1. Close the battery compartment cover and push it
upwards to turn the hearing aid on. If you have just
turned off the hearing aid, wait at least three
seconds before turning it on again.
2. Push the battery compartment cover downwards to
turn the hearing aid off.
In the standard setting a spoken message will indicate
that the hearing aid has been switched on (see page 6).
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.
Positioning the hearing aid
Close the battery compartment cover completely.
1. Hold your hearing aid with your thumb and forefinger. Slowly guide the hearing aid into your ear
canal until you feel resistance.
2. Let go of the hearing aid and use the tip of your
forefinger to gently push it into your ear until it
rests comfortably in your ear canal.
3. To help position the hearing aid properly you could
pull the outer ear backwards and upwards with the
opposite hand.

Removing the hearing aid
Hold the hearing aid with your
thumb and forefinger and pull
gently.
If it is difficult, you can try to move
the hearing aid carefully from side
to side. It may also help to pull the
outer ear backwards and upwards
with the opposite hand.
Automatic volume adjustment
The hearing aid adjusts volume automatically in accordance with your sound environment.
Important
If the volume in your hearing aid is generally too loud
or too weak, or if the reproduced sounds are distorted,
or if you would like any further information, consult
your hearing care professional.
