thank You...

...for choosing a Widex hearing aid.

Your hearing aid is designed with high-quality sound,

ease, comfort and freedom of choice in mind.

We hope you will be pleased with your new Widex

hearing aid.

IMPORTANT

This booklet contains important information and instructions.

Please read this booklet carefully before you start using the hear-

ing aid.

Your hearing aid, ear-set and accessories may not look exactly as

illustrated in this booklet. We also reserve the right to make any

changes considered necessary.

RIGHT/LEFT IDENTIFICATION

The arrow shows the position of the

identification mark (red mark = right

and blue mark = left).

ACOUSTIC INDICATORS

The hearing aid may be set to produce a signal to in-

dicate the use of certain functions. The signal may be

a spoken message or tones adjusted by the hearing

care professional in consultation with you. The signal

can also be deactivated.

Adjusting volume Tone* Off

Confirming program button use Clicking

sound Off

Changing program Message Tones Off

Starting up the hearing aid Message Tone Off

Warning about low battery Message 4 tones Off

THE BATTERY

We recommend zinc-air batteries. Use a size 13 bat-

tery for the hearing aid.

To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your

hearing care professional. It is important to take note

of the expiry date and the recommendations regard-

ing disposal of used batteries on the battery pack.

INSERTING THE BATTERY

Before inserting a new battery into the

hearing aid, remember to remove the ad-

hesive tab. Once the tab has been re-

moved, the battery will start functioning

after a few seconds. Do not use batteries

on which there is a sticky residue from

the tab or other unwanted substance.

Use the nail grip to gently swing the

battery drawer open.

Place the battery in the drawer, so that the plus (+)

sign on the battery faces upward. You can use the

battery magnet provided to steer the battery into

place.

If the battery drawer does not close easily, the bat-

tery is incorrectly inserted.

When changing battery, it is a good idea to hold the

hearing aid over a table.

The hearing aid may be provided with a special bat-

tery drawer, helping to secure the battery in the

drawer. This type of drawer can be a good choice if

the hearing aid is worn by a child.

10 11

LOW BATTERY INDICATION

An acoustic indicator will sound when the battery is

nearly exhausted, unless this function has been disa-

bled (see page 7). We recommend that you always

have a spare battery with you.

Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing aid.

Exhausted batteries may leak, damaging the hearing

aid.

IMPORTANT

Your hearing aid may stop functioning, for instance if the battery

is exhausted. You should be aware of this possibility, in particular

when you are in traffic or are otherwise dependent on warning

signals.

TURNING THE HEARING AID ON AND OFF

The battery drawer of the hearing aid also functions

as the on/off switch.

Push the switch upwards to turn on the

hearing aid. An acoustic indicator will

indicate that the hearing aid has been

switched on unless this function has

been disabled.

Push the switch downwards to turn off

the hearing aid.

The word “OFF” is clearly visible on the

switch when the hearing aid is turned

off.

Please remember to turn off the hearing aid when it

is not in use. Remove the battery if the hearing aid

will not be used for several days.

12 13

VOLUME ADJUSTMENT

The hearing aid volume is adjusted automatically in

accordance with your sound environment.

Your hearing aid may furthermore be

provided with a volume control,

shaped like a small lever.

Push the lever upward to gradually

raise the volume.

Push the lever downwards to gradu-

ally lower the volume.

In the default setting, any volume adjustment will

affect both hearing aids.

For any adjustment of the steps in which volume

increases or decreases, consult your hearing care

professional.

Each time you operate the volume control, you will

hear a beep-tone unless this function has been disa-

bled. When the maximum or minimum adjustment

level is reached, a steady tone will sound.

IMPORTANT

If the volume in the hearing aid is generally too loud or too weak,

or the reproduced sounds are distorted, or if you would like any

further information, consult your hearing care professional.

To turn off the sound completely

• Keep pressing the volume control lever downwards

after the steady tone has sounded

To turn the sound on again

• Press the lever upwards or

• Change listening program or

• Turn the hearing aid off and turn it on again.

If you wish to mute the hearing aid using a remote

control, keep pressing its volume down key after the

long beep-tone has sounded and until it stops. Press-

ing one of the volume keys briefly will bring back the

sound.

Any adjustment of the volume setting will be can-

celled when your hearing aid is turned off, or when

you change program.

If you wish to have the volume control disabled,

please consult your hearing care professional.

14 15

LOST PARTNER ALARM

(Note: Only applicable if this feature has been acti-

vated by your hearing care professional).

If one of your hearing aids falls off your ear, and/or

the battery is exhausted, a tone signal and a spoken

message will sound two times in the other hearing

aid.

LISTENING PROGRAMS

In addition to the default Master program, your hear-

ing aid may be provided with four of the following

programs, plus the special Zen program called Zen+.

Music For listening to music

TV For listening to the TV

Comfort Attenuates background noise

Reverse focus Focus on sounds from behind

 Audibility Extender Makes high-frequency sounds audible

Phone For listening to the telephone

TIn this program you listen via the

telecoil (T) and not via the hearing

aid microphone (M). The telecoil is

used where a loop system is installed.

If you activate the telecoil program,

you listen to a specific sound source

and shut out surrounding sounds.

M+T In this program you listen via the

hearing aid microphone (M) and the

telecoil (T).

Zen Generates different kinds of tones.

Contains one style

Compound programs



The Master program in one ear and

Zen, Reverse focus, Audibility

Extender, T, MT or Phone in the other.

Zen+ Special Zen program with up to three

different Zen styles

16 17

If your needs change over time, the combination of

listening programs can be altered.

The Zen program may be used with amplification so

that both the surrounding sounds and the Zen tones

are heard together. Or, it may be used alone (without

amplification) in quiet when you are not required to

hear surrounding sounds.

The duration of the Zen play time can be set by your

hearing care professional according to your needs.

IMPORTANT

Use of the different Zen programs may interfere with hearing sur-

rounding sounds including speech. The programs should not be

used when hearing such sounds is important. Switch the hearing

aid to a non-Zen program in those situations.

SWITCHING BETWEEN THE

LISTENING PROGRAMS

Each time you switch to another

program, an acoustic indicator will

sound unless this function has been

disabled.

Program 1: Message or one short beep

Program 2: Message or two short beeps

Program 3: Message or three short beeps

Program 4: Message or one long and one short

beeps

Program 5: Message or one long and two short

beeps

Zen+: Message or tone

In the default setting, both your hearing aids will be

affected when you change programs.

18 19

USING A TELEPHONE

When using a telephone, we

recommend that you hold the

telephone against your head

at an angle above your ear,

rather than directly against the

ear. If the sound is not optimal,

try moving the telephone ear-

piece to a slightly different po-

sition.

ZEN+

This program is accessed via a long press (two sec.)

on the program button. A short press then allows

you to cycle through the available Zen styles.

You can exit Zen+ by pressing and holding the pro-

gram button for more than a second.

If you wish to have the program button disabled,

please consult your hearing care professional.
