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.
7
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.
Please note that streaming sound to your hearing aids at a high volume
can prevent you from hearing other important sounds such as alarms
and traffic noise. In such situations make sure to keep the volume of the
streamed sound at a suitable level.
Your hearing aid is very powerful and it can play sounds that exceed a
level of 132 dB. There may therefore be a risk of damaging your remaining hearing.
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.
There is a risk of explosion if you replace the battery with an incorrect
type.

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
Your hearing aid is shown below with the ear-set. The ear-set consists of an
earwire with receiver and an ear-tip, and it is the part of your hearing aid
that you wear inside your ear. For further information on the ear-set, see the
ear-set manual.

4. Battery compartment
5. 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.
10
CONDITIONS FOR USE
Indications for use
The hearing aids are indicated for individuals older than 36 months with a
range of hearing loss from minimal (10 dB HL) to severe-to-profound (100
dB HL) and all hearing loss configurations.
They are to be programmed by licensed hearing care professionals (audiologists, hearing aid specialists, otolaryngologists) who are trained in hearing
(re)habilitation.
Intended use
The hearing aids are intended as air conduction amplification devices to be
used in everyday listening environments. The hearing aids may be equipped
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.
Operating conditions
Your hearing aid has been designed to operate in everyday situations, and it
works in environmental conditions that are comfortable for you. You can
wear your hearing aid during flights, but you should remove it before showering or swimming.
11
The specific operating conditions for your hearing aid are listed below:
Minimum Maximum
Temperature 0°C (32°F) 50°C (122°F)
Humidity 10% rH 95% rH
Atmospheric pressure 750 mbar 1060 mbar
Storage and transport conditions
Your hearing aid is sensitive to extreme conditions such as high temperature. See the specific storage and transportation conditions below:
Minimum Maximum
Temperature -20°C (-4°F) 55°C (131°F)
Humidity 10% rH 95% rH
You can find technical data sheets and additional information on your hearing aids on https://global.widex.com.

DAILY USE
1

Turning the hearing aid on and off
To turn the hearing aid on, close the battery door. The
hearing aid will play a sound signal to indicate that it is
on, unless your hearing care professional has deactivated this function.
To turn off the hearing aid, pull the battery door
downwards.
NOTE
Don't forget to turn off the hearing aid when it is not in use.
Putting on and removing the hearing aid
Putting on the hearing aid
1. Insert the ear-set in the ear while holding the lower
part of the tube/earwire. Pulling the outer ear upwards
and backwards at the same time can be helpful.
2. Then place the hearing aid behind the ear. The hearing
aid should rest comfortably on the ear, close to your
head.
13
Your hearing aid can be fitted using different types of ear-sets. See the separate ear-set manual for more information about your ear-set.
Removing the hearing aid
Start by removing the hearing aid from behind the
ear.
Then take the ear-set carefully out of the ear canal
while you hold the lower part of the tube/earwire.
14
THE BATTERY
The zinc-air battery
Use a type 312 zinc-air battery for your hearing aid.
Always use a fresh, new battery that is precisely the kind recommended by
your hearing care professional.
NOTE
Check that the battery is completely clean and free of any residue before inserting it in the hearing aid. Otherwise your hearing aid may not function as expected.
Never attempt to recharge a zinc-air hearing aid battery, as it could explode.
Never leave a flat battery in the hearing aids while storing them. It could
leak and ruin your hearing aid.
Dispose of used batteries as indicated on the packaging and take note of
the expiry date.
Low battery indication
When the battery is flat, a sound signal will play. If the battery drains suddenly there may however be no warning. We recommend carrying a spare
battery with you wherever you go.
Changing the battery
To change the battery, do as follows:
15
Take the adhesive tab off the new battery and make
sure there is no sticky substance left on it. Let it
"breathe" for 60 seconds.
Use the nail grip to gently swing the battery door
open and remove the old battery.
Now place the new battery in the drawer as shown.
Close the drawer. If it doesn't close easily, the battery is not placed correctly.
If you are not using the hearing aid for a few days,
remove the battery.
NOTE
Avoid dropping your hearing aid - hold the hearing aid above a soft surface
while changing the battery.
16
Tamper-resistant battery drawer
If the hearing aid is going to be used by a child or a mentally disabled person, you can ask your hearing care professional to provide it with a tamperresistant battery drawer.
To open battery drawer, use the special tool you've
received, and do as illustrated.

SMARTTOGGLE PROGRAMS USE
Zen+ This program is similar to Zen but allows you
to listen to different types of tones or noise
The names in the list of programs are the default names. Your hearing care
professional can also select an alternative program name from a preselected
list. Then it is even easier for you to select the right program in each listening situation.
Depending on your hearing loss, your hearing care professional can activate
the Audibility Extender feature. Ask your hearing care professional if you
could benefit from this.
If your needs and preferences change over time, your hearing care professional can easily change your program selection.
The Zen program
Your hearing aid may be provided with a unique optional listening program
called Zen. It makes musical tones (and sometimes a rushing noise) in the background.
If you perceive a decrease in loudness or tolerance of sounds, speech not
to be as clear, or worsening tinnitus, contact your hearing care professional.
Use of the Zen program may interfere with hearing everyday sounds, including speech. It should not be used when it is important to be able to
hear such sounds. Switch the hearing aid to a non-Zen program in these
situations.
20
Sound signals
Your hearing aid plays sounds to inform you that certain features have been
activated or that you have changed program. These sounds can be spoken
messages or tones.
Ask your hearing care professional to turn these sounds off if you don't need
them.
Lost partner
(Only available in selected models)
Your hearing care professional can turn on a feature in your hearing aid that
warns you whenever it loses contact with the hearing aid in the opposite
ear. You will hear a spoken message in your ear.
Sound and program adjustment
If you have two hearing aids, the push button can be programmed in several
ways.
As a dedicated program button:
To change programs, just press the button. To access and exit SmartToggle
programs, press and hold the push button down for more than one second
(this setting is optional). Once you have accessed the SmartToggle program, you can change among the different Zen styles selected for you by
short presses on the button.
21
As a dedicated sound adjustment button:
Press the button on one hearing aid if you’d like more audibility and more
volume. If you need to turn down the volume or you’d like more comfort,
press the button on the other hearing aid.
Agree with your hearing care professional which hearing aid should turn up
the volume and which hearing aid should turn down the volume.
A long push (more than one second) on either of your hearing aids will mute
the sound. To unmute the sound, press the push button on your right hearing aid briefly (this setting is optional).
As a combined program and sound adjustment button:
If you have this option, press the button on your right hearing aid if you’d
like more audibility and more volume. If you need to decrease the volume or
if you’d like more comfort, just press the button on your left hearing aid. A
long press on either of your hearing aids will change programs.
If you only have one hearing aid, a short press will change programs and a
long press will allow you to access the SmartToggle programs.
22
Using a smartphone with your hearing aid
When you use a smartphone, hold it in front of you so that the microphone on the phone is close to your mouth. This way you will experience the best sound during your phone call.
23
PAIRING YOUR HEARING AID AND SMARTPHONE
To pair your hearing aids and smartphone you need to restart your hearing
aid. Do as follows:
1. Restart your hearing aids by opening and closing the battery compart-
ment.
2. Keep the hearing aids close to your phone and follow the instructions on
your phone.
3. The hearing aids and smartphone are now ready to use.
