Your new remote control
We hope you will be pleased with your Widex hearing aid remote control. ese user’s instructions explain how your remote control should be operated
and we recommend that you read the entire booklet
to get full satisfaction from your new remote control.
e remote control gives simple access to hearing
aid functions for those who have difficulty operating
the controls of BTEs and ITEs, or for second parties (partners, healthcare workers and care-givers)
who might be responsible for hearing aid use.
e remote control is pre-programmed during your
fitting so it can function as best as possible in different situations.

Your remote control is an accessory for your hearing
aid. You can easily operate your hearing aid without
the remote control; it is just an alternative way of
operating your hearing aid. e advantages of a Widex remote control are:
Unlike the buttons on your hearing aid when it •
is placed in/on the ear, you can easily see the keys
on the remote control.
e larger keys on the remote control are easier to •
manipulate than the small buttons on the hearing
aid.
e remote control enables you to operate your •
hearing aid discreetly, e.g. from your pocket or
handbag.
You can adjust the volume and choose programs •
for hearing aids without volume and program
buttons.
Your remote control is a small computer that contains data for different hearing aid settings. It also
contains a radio transmitter which sends messages
to the hearing aid. e remote control and hearing
aid do not need to be in view of each other. e operating range is approximately 3 feet.
