IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Read these pages carefully before you begin using your hearing aid.

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 your local emergency number or
hospital immediately.

Take your hearing aids out when you are not using them. This will help to
ventilate the ear canal and prevent ear infections.

Contact your doctor or hearing care professional immediately if you sus­pect you may have an ear infection or an allergic reaction.

Contact your hearing care professional if the hearing aid doesn't feel
comfortable, or if it doesn't fit properly, causing irritation, redness or the
like.

Remove your hearing aids before showering, swimming or using a hair
dryer.

Do not wear your hearing aids when applying perfume, spray, gels, lotion
or cream.

Do not dry your hearing aid in a microwave oven - this will ruin it.

Never use other people’s hearing aids and never allow others to use
yours, as this could damage your hearing.

Never use your hearing aids in environments where there may be explo­sive gases, such as in mines, etc.

6

Keep hearing aids, their parts, accessories and batteries away from chil­dren and mentally disabled people.

Never try to open or repair the hearing aid yourself. Contact your hearing
care professional if you need to have your hearing aid repaired.

Your hearing aids contain radio communication technology. Always ob­serve the environment in which you are using them. If any restrictions ap­ply, you must take precautions to comply with these.

Your device has been designed to comply with international electromag­netic compatibility standards. However, it cannot be excluded that it may
cause interference with other electrical equipment. If you experience in­terference, keep a distance to other electrical equipment.

Do not expose your hearing aids to extreme temperatures or high humid­ity, and dry them quickly if they get wet, or if you perspire heavily.

Welcome

Congratulations on your new hearing aid.
Use your hearing aid regularly, even if it takes some time getting used to it.

Infrequent users don’t usually get the full benefit of a hearing aid.
Your hearing aid and its accessories may not look exactly as illustrated in

this booklet. We also reserve the right to make any changes we consider
necessary.

Your hearing aid at a glance

The illustration shows your hearing aid without the ear-set. For further in­formation on the ear-set, see the ear-set manual. The ear-set consists of an
earwire and an ear-tip, and it is the part of your hearing aid that you wear
inside your ear.

1. Microphone openings

2. Battery drawer (on/off func­tion)

3. Nail grip

4. Left/right identification

The colour of the left/right identification tells you how to know left from
right. The hearing aid for your left ear has a blue mark. The hearing aid for
your right ear has a red mark.

Indications for use

The hearing aids are indicated for individuals older than 36 months with a

dB HL) and all hearing loss configurations.

with the Zen program, intended to provide a relaxing sound background
(i.e. music/noise source) for adults who desire to listen to such a back­ground in the quiet.
