Please read the information on the following pages
before using your hearing aid.
A hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and will not
prevent or improve a hearing impairment resulting from
organic conditions. Infrequent use of a hearing aid does
not permit a user to attain full benefit from it. The use of
a hearing aid is only part of hearing habilitation and may
need to be supplemented by auditory training and
instruction in lipreading.
2.1 Hazard warnings
!The intended use of hearing aids is to amplify and
transmit sound to the ears and hereby compensate
for impaired hearing. The hearing aids (specially
programmed for each hearing loss) must only be used
by the intended person. They should not be used by
any other person as they could damage hearing.
!Changes or modifications to the hearing aid that
were not explicitly approved by Phonak are not
permitted. Such changes may damage your ear or the
hearing aid.
2. Important safety information
7
!Do not use the hearing aids in explosive areas (mines
or industrial areas with danger of explosions).
!Hearing aid batteries are toxic if they are swallowed!
Keep out of reach of children, mentally challenged
people and pets. If batteries are swallowed, consult
your physician immediately!
!If you feel pain in or behind your ear, if it is inflamed,
if skin irritation or accelerated accumulations of ear
wax occur, please check with your hearing care
professional or physician.
!In very rare cases, the dome can remain in your ear
canal when removing the hearing tube from the ear.
In the unlikely case that the dome does get stuck in
your ear canal, it is strongly recommended to see a
physician for safe removal.
!Hearing programs in the directional microphone mode
reduce background noises. Please be aware that
warning signals or noises coming from behind, e. g.
cars, are partially or entirely suppressed.

2. Important safety information
!The hearing aid contains small parts that can cause
choking, if swallowed by children. Keep out of reach
of children and mentally challenged people or pets. If
swallowed, consult a physician or hospital
immediately.
!External devices may only be connected if they have
been tested in accordance with corresponding
IECXXXXX standards. Only use accessories approved
by Phonak AG, to avoid any electrical shock.
!The following is only applicable for persons with
active implantable medical devices (i.e. pacemakers,
defibrillators, etc.):
SKeep magnets (i.e. battery handling tool, EasyPhone
magnet, etc.) at least 15 cm (6 inches) away from
the active implant.
2.2 Information on product safety
INever immerse your hearing aid in water! Protect it
from excessive moisture. Always remove your hearing
aid before showering, bathing, or swimming, as the
hearing aid contains sensitive electronic parts.
9
IProtect your hearing aid from heat (never leave it
near a window or in the car.) Never use a microwave
or other heating devices to dry your hearing aid. Ask
your hearing care professional about suitable drying
methods.
IWhen you are not using your hearing aid, leave the
battery compartment open so that any moisture can
evaporate. Make sure that you always completely dry
your hearing aid after use. Store the hearing aid in a
safe, dry and clean place.
IDo not drop your hearing aid! Dropping onto a hard
surface can damage your hearing aid.
IAlways use new batteries for your hearing aid. In case
a battery is leaking, replace it immediately with a
new one to avoid any skin irritation. You can return
used batteries to your hearing care professional.

2. Important safety information
IRemove the battery if you are not using your hearing
aid for a long period of time.
ISpecial medical or dental examinations including
radiation described below, may adversely affect the
correct functioning of your hearing aids. Remove and
keep them outside the examination room/area before
undergoing:
SMedical or dental examinations with X-ray
(also CT scan)
SMedical examinations with MRI/NMRI scans,
generating magnetic fields
Hearing aids don’t need to be removed when passing
security gates (airports etc.). If X-ray is used at all, it
will be in very low doses, and will not affect the hearing
aids.
