Introduction
Your Widex Senso P-CIC hearing aid is a very in-
tricate, high precision electronic unit. It has been
carefully designed to withstand years of wear, un-
der the varying conditions the typical user finds
him or herself in each day. However, your hearing
aid may be damaged if exposed to extreme condi-
tions, severe blows, or general neglect.
To get full satisfaction from the quality and the
performance we have built into your new Widex
hearing aid, please handle it with care, and read
the instructions carefully.
At the back of this manual you will find a user’s
troubleshooting guide, which will help you in situ-
ations where your hearing aid does not perform
according to your expectations.

Placing the battery in the
battery compartment
Remove the battery sealing
label and clean the battery
carefully with a soft dry
cloth to remove any sticky
residue. Then insert it in
the battery compartment.
The battery is placed
correctly when the flat
side with the little hole
in the middle is facing
towards the open face of
the battery compart-
ment. Most batteries are
marked with a small
plus (+). This plus should
face in the direction indi-
cated by the small plus
(+) printed on the lower
part of the battery com-
partment.
If the battery compartment does not close easily,
the battery is placed incorrectly in the compart-
ment.
6
Always place the battery in the actual battery
compartment and not in the open space inside the
hearing aid.
When changing batteries, hold the hearing aid
over a table or change batteries in a carpeted room.
Exhausted batteries: If you hear four rapid
beep-tones while wearing your hearing aid, it is
an indication that you should exchange the bat-
tery as soon as possible, as the battery is nearly
exhausted. Once the battery is totally exhausted,
the hearing aid will be totally silent.
Never let an exhausted battery remain in the
hearing aid. Exhausted batteries may leak, which
could damage your hearing aid.
7
Recommended energy source:
Zinc Air battery type 10
Senso P-CIC and Mini Canal use the Zinc Air bat-
tery type 10.
This environmentally friendly type of battery has
about twice the lifetime of a mercury battery
when used properly. It can be stored up to two
years, as long as the sealing label is not removed.
Therefore, do not remove the label until just
before inserting the battery in the instrument.
Once inserted the battery will start functioning
after a few seconds. Use your hearing aid with the
same battery until it is exhausted (see p. 7).
On occasion, a new battery may be exhausted be-
cause it was not sealed properly. If your hearing
aid does not work after you have replaced the bat-
tery, try inserting a new battery.
Note: When opening the battery door, be careful
not to force it beyond the upright position (see
drawing p. 6).
8
Turning the hearing aid
on and off
The battery door is used to switch your Senso
P-CIC or Mini Canal hearing aid on and off.
The hearing aid is turned on when a battery is in-
serted correctly and the battery door is completely
closed.
9
When the hearing aid is turned on, it might whistle
until it is placed in the ear. The whistling is
caused by an acoustic feedback loop between the
hearing aid receiver and the microphone.
To turn off the hearing aid, you have to open the
battery compartment.
Note: When opening the battery door, be careful
not to force it beyond the upright position (see
drawing p. 6).
Please remember to always switch the aid off
when it is not in use for a lengthy period, or to
remove the battery.
