Please read the information on the following pages

before using your hearing system.

A hearing system will not restore normal hearing

and will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment

resulting from organic conditions. Infrequent use

of a hearing system does not permit a user to attain

full beneﬁt from it. The use of a hearing system is

only part of hearing habilitation and may need to be

supplemented by auditory training and instruction

in lipreading.

2.1Hazard warnings

Use only hearing systems that have been specially

programmed for you by your hearing care professional.

Other systems may be ineffective and may, in

certain cases, damage your hearing.

Changes or modifications to the hearing system

that were not explicitly approved by Phonak are

not permitted. Such changes may damage your ear

or the hearing system.

2. Important safety information

Hearing system batteries are toxic if they are

swallowed! Keep out of reach of children and pets.

If batteries are swallowed, consult your physician

immediately!

If you feel pain in or behind your ear, if it is inﬂamed

or if skin irritation and 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.

The hearing system contains small parts which can

be swallowed by children.

8 9

External devices may only be connected if they

have been tested in accordance with corresponding

IECXXXXX standards. Only use accessories approved

by Phonak AG.

2.2 Information on product safety

Never immerse your hearing system in water!

Protect it from excessive moisture. Always remove

your hearing system before showering, bathing,

or swimming.

Protect your hearing system from heat (never leave

it near a window or in the car.) Never use a micro-

wave or other heating devices to dry your hearing

system. Ask your hearing care professional about

suitable drying methods.

When you are not using your hearing system,

leave the battery compartment open so that any

moisture can evaporate. Make sure that you

always completely dry your hearing system after

use. Store the hearing system in a safe, dry and

clean place.

Do not drop your hearing system! Dropping onto a

hard surface can damage your hearing system.

Always use new batteries for your hearing system.

You can return used batteries to your hearing care

professional.

Remove the battery if you are not using your hearing

system for a long period of time.

X-ray radiation (e. g. CT scans, MRI scans) may

adversely affect the correct functioning of your

hearing systems. We recommend that you

remove them before undergoing X-ray procedures

and keep them outside the room.

Do not use your hearing system in areas where

electronic equipment is prohibited.
