Thank you...

...for choosing a Widex hearing aid.

Your hearing aid is a sophisticated instrument that can

be adjusted to your requirements in consultation with

your hearing care professional.

All illustrations in this booklet

show a right-ear hearing aid.

We hope you will be pleased with your new Widex

hearing aid.

Important

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

exactly as illustrated in this booklet. We furthermore re-

serve the right to make any changes considered neces-

sary.

General

Right/left identification

If you wear hearing aids on both ears, it is a good idea

to ask your hearing care professional to put color marks

on the hearing aids (red mark = right and blue mark =

left).

The arrow shows the position of

the identification mark.

Function signals

Your hearing aid may be set to produce a signal to indi-

cate the use of certain functions. The signal can be a

spoken message or tones adjusted by the hearing care

professional in consultation with you. The signal can

also be deactivated.

The battery

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

tery for your hearing aid.

To obtain replacement batteries, please consult your

hearing care professional. It is important to take note of

the expiration date and the recommendations regard-

ing disposal of used batteries on the battery pack.

10 11

General

Inserting the battery

Before inserting a new battery in the

hearing aid, remember to remove the

adhesive tab. Once the tab has been

removed, the battery will start func-

tioning after a few seconds. Do not

use batteries on which there is a sticky residue from the

tab or other unwanted substance.

1. Use the nail grip to swing the battery drawer open.

2. Place the battery so that the plus (+) sign of the bat-

tery faces upwards.

3. You can use the provided battery magnet to steer

the battery into place.

If the battery drawer does not close easily, the battery

is incorrectly inserted.

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

hearing aid over a table.

Low battery indication

In the standard setting, the hearing aid will produce a

spoken message when the battery is nearly exhausted

(see page 9). If the setting with tone indication has

been chosen, four beep-tones will be produced. Once

the battery is totally exhausted, the hearing aid will be

completely silent. 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.

The hearing aid may be provided with a special battery

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.

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.

12 13

General

Turning the hearing aid on and off

The battery drawer of your hearing aid also functions

as the on/off switch.

1. Push the switch upwards to turn the hearing aid on.

If you have just turned off the hearing aid, wait at

least three seconds before turning it on again.

2. Push the switch downwards to turn the hearing aid

off.

3. The word “OFF” is clearly visible on the switch when

the hearing aid is turned off.

In the standard setting a spoken message will indicate

that the hearing aid has been switched on.

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.

Automatic volume adjustment

The hearing aid volume is adjusted automatically in ac-

cordance with your sound environment.

Important

If the volume in your 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.

14 15

General

Fine tuning volume

Your hearing aid may be provided with a volume con-

trol, shaped like a small lever.

Push the lever upwards to gradual-

ly raise the volume.

Push the lever downwards to grad-

ually lower the volume.

Each time you operate the volume control, you will

hear a beep-tone – unless you have chosen to have the

tone indication deactivated (see page 9). When you

raise the volume, you will hear a higher beep-tone for

each step the volume is raised. When you lower the vol-

ume, you will hear a deeper beep-tone for each step

the volume is lowered. When the maximum or mini-

mum adjustment level is reached, a steady tone will

sound.

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, wait 3 seconds and turn it on

again.

Any adjustment of the volume setting will be cancelled

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.

General

Listening programs

Your hearing aid may be provided with up to three lis-

tening programs intended for specific listening situa-

tions.

At the front of this booklet your hearing care profes-

sional can list the listening programs that are available

in your hearing aid. If your needs change over time, the

combination of listening programs can be changed.

You can choose from the following programs:

Master: Standard program

Acclimatization: Has the same features as the Master

program, but provides slightly less amplification.

Music: For listening to music.

TV: For listening to the TV.

Comfort: Attenuates background noise.

Audibility Extender: Makes high-frequency sounds

audible.

T: In this program you listen via the telecoil (T) and not

via the hearing aid microphone (M). The telecoil is used

where a specially adapted telephone or loop system is

installed. If you activate the telecoil program, you listen

to a specific sound source and shut out surrounding

sounds. (Please remember that there are situations in

which it is particularly important to be able to hear the

surrounding sounds (e.g. traffic, warning signals)).

M + T: In this program you listen via the hearing aid mi-

crophone (M) and the telecoil (T).

18 19

General

Switching between the listening

programs

You can switch between the pro-

grams by using the program but-

ton on the back of the hearing aid.

Each time you use the program

button, a click is produced unless

this function has been disabled. A

spoken message will indicate your

choice of program.

If you have chosen the tone indication setting, beep-

tones tell you which program you have chosen:

• Program 1: One short beep

• Program 2: Two short beeps

• Program 3: Three short beeps

If you wish to have the program button disabled,

please consult your hearing care professional.

Remote control

- an alternative way of operating the hearing aid

A remote control is an accessory for the

hearing aid. You can easily operate your

hearing aid without a remote control,

but it gives you a number of additional

options. For help in determining wheth-

er you could benefit from a remote con-

trol, please consult your hearing care

professional.

Using a telephone

When using a telephone, we rec-

ommend that you hold the tele-

phone 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 earpiece to a slightly different position.

If using a landline telephone that is hearing aid com-

patible and your hearing aid has been programmed to

include “T” (telecoil), you have the option of choosing

this setting for the best possible sound.
